Here are the top 10 reasons you should upgrade to Telligent Community 5.5 today.

10. Quality and performance

You told us what was wrong and we fixed it. 75 percent of our development effort went into fixing more than 500 customer-reported bugs. Take a look through the list of bug fixes.

  9. Content pages and custom navigation

Create new pages with any configuration of widgets for site-wide or group-level access, or to provide additional information for blogs. You can include links to these content pages in the new custom navigation option that allows you to also optionally link to any group or any application within any group.

  8. Custom registration

Capture key information from new members. Create custom profile fields, and then set the order in which they're displayed and whether or not they're required.

  7. Automatic video URL detection

Just enter a URL for any standard video format (like YouTube and Vimeo), and it is displayed as a play-in-place video.

  6. Subscription control

Provide email subscription control to your community participants. They can mute forum threads in which they're no longer interested, but still be notified when new threads are started or additional posts are made to other threads. They can mute either on-site or via email.

  5. Blog and file mashups

Create mashups of content that is pulled from anywhere throughout the community, not just within a particular group. Pull blog posts from many blogs or files from many galleries, providing a much easier way for your community participants to consume relevant content.

  4. Wiki flexibility

You can now pull the table of contents from any wiki and place it in any location within your community. And with new wiki API endpoints, you can create custom applications that push and pull wiki content as needed.

  3. Administrator control

Those responsible for maintaining your community will find our administrative enhancements very helpful. You can now change the security settings for groups from private to public, or vice versa, with only two clicks. Let group owners manage their own sub-groups by giving them delete capabilities so that you don't always have to get involved. If you let your community participants customize their own dashboards or let group owners customize their group landing experience, you can lock specific widgets to ensure important information remains visible. And that's only to highlight a few new options. Read more.

  2. A more compelling user experience

Your community participants will have an even more compelling experience with your community with very easy content contribution via Quick Post, easy-to-understand question-and-answer forum interaction, and improved search with the addition of places, not just content (e.g., blogs not just blog posts).
