  • The discussion info icon has been moved from the thesis to the top left of the discussion and has been given some color to make it easier to discover.

Release Notes #490

  • Some keyboard shortcuts were changed:
    • When using a mouse or touchpad, ‘Enter’ means save/submit (e.g. submit comment) and ‘Ctrl/Cmd/Shift + Enter’ means new line (e.g. for paragraphs in comments).
    • When touching a touchscreen, this is reversed and ‘Enter’ means new line, while ‘Ctrl/Cmd/Shift + Enter’ means save/submit.
    • Having a touchscreen will not influence this, e.g. laptops with touchscreens. Only when using the touchscreen will this switch and using the mouse or touchpad will switch it back.
  • Deleted ‘marked for review’ claims now appear in the ‘My marked claims’ sidebar when “Show deleted” is activated.

Release Notes #488

  • Unseen claims will now also result in the “more claims underneath” (the visualisation which makes it appear that a claim is a stack of cards) indicator being marked blue. Previously these were only tinted blue if there were new claims, changes to claims or new comments on claims underneath.
  • Minor language changes have been made to improve user experience.

Release Notes #487

  • The New Claim Indicator (the blue dot) was not always reliably removed when using Firefox. This has now been fixed.
  • An accepted suggested claim or comment will no longer be counted towards the daily suggestion limit.

Release Notes #486

Release Notes #485

  • Notifications for claims which have been marked for review on the My Kialo page will now disappear once the claim is viewed. Previously, the notifications persisted until the mark for review was resolved. Marked claims will still be listed in the marked for review list in a Kialo discussion itself. My Kialo notifications for marked claims that users have already seen have been removed.
