Is there a list of new features for the latest RW somewhere?

I want to make sure I'm not missing out on some new feature just because it's not obvious in the UI. Is there a list someplace that I can review?

Did we get a song lock or riff lock feature for instance? I don't see them but maybe they were added?

tx.

PS> I have to say the public collabs load a lot slower than they used to and also, I get booted from songs with "disconnect" messages while in the middle of a recording and then the all the work is gone when I log back in. Additionally, the app locks up frequently and you have to use task mgr to kill it.

Thanks CWight. Nice to know I'm not the only one! I'll check out all the recent posts and see what's up and what others are saying.

I see lots of changes to the website. I wish we could just click on the shout balloon to see the shouts and messages for a rifflink song. Now, we click on 'More' then another line appears - click on that - navigate to new page and then we can see the shouts. Seems like a bunch of steps to get to a place that used to be one click. Maybe the 'more' link could be left out and just make the link text it shows already visible? Just a thought.

:)

Cheers,
-Chris

Lots of us are discontented with the new commenting system Chris, Sonoma are aware of this too. Dug has already stated elsewhere that most (if not all) of the new upgrade features are to do with the Riffworld website and Rifflink so I don't think you're gonna find anything much hidden away anywhere in Riffworks mate :)

One of the qualities of a good website is that users can get to what they need in as few clicks as possible. RiffWorld certainly seems to have put extra steps in the way for quite a few things and I agree with Chris that it would be nice to get back the immediacy of comments on posted songs.
Cheers!
Scott

I did find I can get to comments with one click by clicking on the song title - it skips the more link etc..

Yeah the more link means more clicks. :)
