Community Release - February 10, 2020
What's a release?
Simply put, a release is a package of software updates consisting of new features and bug fixes along with new content. On CCL Community, we'll release updates every other week.New Features
- Group Home Page Redesign. The layout of CCL Community group home pages has been improved to spotlight important and upcoming information more prominently. The "About Us" and "More Info" blocks have shifted to the center of the page and the "Upcoming Events" and "Recent Group Discussions" are now featured along the right side.

- Auto-complete search. To help improve the search experience, CCL Community now provides auto-complete suggestions after several letters are typed into the main search bar on the top menu based on matches to other keywords that are commonly searched. Click on any of the suggested keywords and then click the blue search icon to see the results.

- Forum Popovers on Member Names. When in the Recent Forum Activity list on both the Sitewide Forums or group home pages, members can now send messages and friend requests directly from the popover card by hovering over the member name and clicking on either option.
