We are pleased to announce that as part of the first phase of changes to your new VOICE service, we have now upgraded it to Version 1.7 of the dotCommunity software.

This new version of dotCommunity offers:

• A new, easier to use administration interface.
• Huge improvements to the Content Management System, including a new version of the WYSIWYG editor which is integrated with a new image/asset management interface.
• An updated and improved themes system.
• A new inline help system.
• Improvements to many of the standard applications - mainly to make them easier to use for administrators.
• Spam protection - reduces the chance of receiving rogue postings to forums, and the sending of spam from 'feedback' forms.
• A new webserver, running an updated and much faster version of the database software which underpins dotCommunity.
• A full set of end-user documentation.

You can read the release notes, and access the documentation on the Cambridge Open Systems website.

All sites were tested prior to the upgrade, but if you experience any teething problems, please let us know by emailing:
admin@e-voice.org.uk

We are working on providing a new VOICE Users website, to provide a shared area for all users of the VOICE System. Please bear with us while we get this finalised.
