Minti just got another update and here are a few of the key improvements to the site (let me know if you find any others?):

Groups have been added - There are

a) public groups (such as for each country and for parents with children born in the same year) - where members can contribute to a collborative blog or chat via a group conversations.

and b) private groups which any member can form and then invite others to join into their own private area.  Maybe you have a parenting group you are a member of and you want a private place to make posts in a blog format or chat with one another about the latest goings on in the conversation area- start your own group and be the administrator and controller of who gets to join in :)

Forums have been added - you can now chat about a range of topics organised into popular forums

There is a new Blog calendar to help you track your blog entries by date and make it easy to recall when you made your last Blog update

There are some pretty flags next to the member names to make countries clearer

We have revised the ranking formula to make it more likely for those participating actively in the site to improve their ranking (through advice, voting, comments and regular visits)

The Member's menu's have been simplified and the look of the member homepages revised :)

Let me know if you find anything else that has been updated - I am worn out from testing it all and would love to hear from anyone who finds any issues with the new release (remember we are still beta testing this site ;) )

Enjoy the new stuff and have fun !
