PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — Local10.com’s popular conversation tools are getting a refresh.
Starting today, readers will find a cleaner design, improved mobile experience and new features to make it easier than ever to participate in the online community. The upgrade to our commenting platform at the bottom of articles also gives site moderators new tools to encourage thoughtful, productive discussions around local news.
New features include:
- “Trending” conversations to highlight active discussions.
- A new mobile-friendly design to make it easier to contribute from phones
- Faster loading times
- The option to “follow” conversations on stories important to you
- “Editor’s Pick” comments highlighting top contributions
- Moderation upgrades to create safe, engaging spaces for thoughtful discussion
Please note: Updating to the new system will retain your account, but will erase comments made before the update. It’s an unfortunate, but necessary, side effect of adding new features now and moving forward.
Local10.com values contributions from its audience to analyze and discuss issues of the day.
