Description

In Telligent Evolution 5.6:

  • The Moderate posts link (now called Moderate Forum) was instituted to show whether there are any posts to moderate.
  • "Follow this question" was renamed "Add to my discussions." This has since been removed.

In Telligent Evolution 5.5, the Manage Subscriptions link began appearing on aggregated landing pages of multiple forums. The Mute/Unmute email notifications option was added for the thread link. You became able to manage members' link text in Joinless groups from this widget.

Purpose

Displays a list of functionality links. The available links are based on your privileges and list configuration. You can customize the links widget any way you want. For example, the above screenshot shows a links widget called "Admin," which contains some links that may be available to non-administrators, but a number that only administrators can access.
