New features and changes

There have been several changes and improvements done on ximmy.com. Here are a few things you will notice.

1) Email Notification-
Under your profile tab, there is now an “Email Notification” link. From there, you can choose to allow only certain emails to be sent to you such as when someone comments on your submission or when your submission is published as a popular listing. Feel free to follow the link and customize your email notification settings.

2) Redeem My Rewards-
Under your profile tab, there is also a “Redeem My Rewards” link. Once you meet the reward points requirement, you can request your payment through this link.

3) Import Contacts from your email address(es)-
From the invite link, you can login to your email accounts (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, MSN, AOL, etc.) and invite all your friends to ximmy. You will earn 15 points for every user that registers with ximmy.com.

4) Private Messaging System-
With this new feature, you will be able to send private messages to friends. This is done by clicking “View my friends” from the “INBOX” link on the right hand navigation.

5) Comments, Submissions and Voting-
We have implemented a 30 submissions, 100 comments, and 100 vote limit that a user is able to post per day. These limits are extremely high that most users will not reach. Our goal is to not allow a user submitting thousands of unimportant links just to boost up their points (although it has not happen yet). We will change this number in the future depending on the growth of the community.

6) Google Ads-
We’ve started placing a few Google adsense ads on the site. The ideas is to help generate some revenue to pay our users
for all their contributions. So, please visit our sponsors every now and then.

We’ve tested everything above in our development section but as always, there will be some bugs that will need to be fixed. Stay tune for more features. Thanks everyone for being part of our community!
