It's been an amazing year for Koprol, and you've been a good boy or girl. All 19,000 of you. So here's a little stocking stuffer from us: another feature update! Hopefully these include what you wished for. We've got lots more coming next month. Happy holidays!

1. Mute

You got summoned and got stuck in a thread (or roll or prol or trail) that just won't end? You can now click the mute button and stop getting notifications. Finally!

2. Block

Blocking a person not just avoids you from getting comments from that person, it also avoids you from getting summoned.

3. Tabs

More content is coming in the right-hand column, so we've organized it by adding tabs to the boxes. Expect to see more cool stuff in there later.

4. Multiple Review

Want to make a new review of the same place? Before, you have to replace your old review. Now, we will keep your old reviews. But take note: we only count your last rating.

5. Easier Suggest Place

It's now easier to submit a new place. Like before, when you search a place and can't find it, just scroll down the page to suggest a new place. Now, we auto fill the name, and there's an easy text box to choose the area. Just start typing and a list will show up. Choose and proceed.

6. Connect Yahoo! & Facebook to existing account

Even if you have not connected your Koprol account with Yahoo! or Facebook, you can still click those buttons before login. We will then ask you to connect to your existing Koprol account.

7. View Mobile version on your computer

On slow connection? Here's a tip. Try our Mobile version from your computer. Just go to m.koprol.com. At anytime, you can switch between the mobile version and standard version through a link at the bottom.

Important: Please clear your browser's cache & cookies, for these new features to work properly.

Now you can find them, as well as your Gmail and Yahoo! contacts by using our new Find & Invite feature. Try it out!

Also: Sign Up on Mobile

People can now sign up on Koprol's mobile site. So if you run into a friend, you can ask them to join Koprol right away through their phone by simply going to koprol.com

Stream of posts with thumbnails in the middle column? Vertically stacked stream filters on the left column? We love the structural layout of Facebook's upcoming homepage, and this is why...
