New profile data added

We’ve just added a cool new feature. We have added an additional section to everyone’s profiles, with personal info instead of just statistics.

You can supply your birthday which shows your age, your location, website, and a profile message with anything you’d like. To add this info to your profile, simply log in to your account, go to “my account” and click “edit profile info”. All the field there are optional.

If you have any ideas for addtional personal profile fields, feel free to let us know as we want to hear.

Hope you enjoy!

After a few weeks in progress, we have just implemented a brand new Webivia design. We think it’s simple, and easy to navigate. We hope everyone likes the design. If you think it needs some improvements, feel free to contact us and give us your feedback. We appreciate that.

New design coming soon!

The main thing we’ve been working on as of late is brand new design for Webivia. There’s a number of reasons we decided to overhaul the layout, but it was mostly because of the user feedback we have received. We decided that the current layout wasn’t clean enough. We have completed a brand new layout that is sleek, clean, and easy to navigate. We are currently working on implementing the new layout, and it should be complete soon. We’re confident that everyone will like it.

Lots of new features

Like we’ve been saying, we have a ton of new features planned, and some are in the works. The truth is we didn’t think we would be switching layouts so soon, so we need to get the new layout implemented first. As always, if you have an idea for a feature you would like to see get added to Webivia, let us know on the forum or you can contact us. We always like to hear from you.

Thanks for reading, and stay tunned for the brand new Webivia layout which should be up within days!

New features!

First off, we wanted to let everyone know about some new Webivia features. Recently, we added an “explanation” option for questions. This option allows the question author to supply an explanation of the correct answer to the question that will be shown to the person answering after they have given their answer.

In addition, we’ve added some more flagging options. We encourage users to flag questions that have poor spelling and grammar.

Creating questions

I wanted to give a quick guide on creating questions. The following are requirements you should go through every time you create a question:

1. Choose the question type that best fits your question. If a question has too many possibilities of giving the answer in different ways, then the question type that would fit it best is probably multiple choice. If a question is only answerable a select few, or one way, and giving choices would give away the answer, then write in is probably the best question type for it.
2. Make sure your question is well written, contains correct spelling, and uses proper grammar.
3. Make sure your question has a definitive answer and is not based on opinion.
4. If required, cite a source. For instance, if I was asking “What is best album of all time?”, that would be invalid. “Best” can mean anything, according to anyone. To make this question valid I could do “What is the best-selling album of all time in the United States?” Which the correct answer would be “Their Greatest Hits” (Eagles)
5. If you are tagging your question, MAKE SURE you do not include the answer to the question in the tags! Tags are visible to people who have not yet answered the question.

What’s next?

Webivia has just begun. We are still building up our user base. Also, we have a ton of awesome features planned that will be implemented shorty.

Most importantly, we value your feedback. We encourage everyone to make suggestions via this form. We read all feedback and take all suggestions into consideration.

So, stay tunned for more features!

Toward the end of the development of Webivia, we knew we would need a way to keep the users informed. After thinking a little bit, we determined that having a Blog would be the cleanest and easiest way.

So, what will this Blog have? It will mainly contain all of the news relating to Webivia. You can learn about site-wide happenings, features that we’re working on, and basically just stay informed.

We don’t only want to talk about features and news. We also want to have some fun with questions the team finds cool, and other things of that sort. If you have some ideas of what we can do with the Webivia Blog, we’d love to hear them. Feel free to comment right on this post. We read all comments and will take them all into consideration, and probably use some of them.

So, we hope you decide to check out the Webivia Blog every so often.
