We had a request from a Finextra Community member who wanted to be able to subscribe to a Finextra article so that he could be notified if anyone made a comment on it. We thought that this was a good idea as up until now the only way to discover if anyone has commented on an article (without manually checking the article all the time) is to commen...

A week ago we rolled out the ability for Community members to Thumb Up comments that other users have added to news articles. We received some feedback from John Dring asking if we could add the ability to Thumb Up comments to Blog items. Well, we listened and we have now rolled out this feature. Start Thumbing Up (or should that be Thumb Upping) ...

In the last year the web team has made several revisions to Finextra's Commenting system. One of the changes was to alert Finextra Community members, via email, when another member has commented upon the same blog that they have.

If only there was a section within the Finextra Community where he could have asked that question....

"In search of Excellence" by Tom Peters is one of the few books that I first read over 15 years ago that I keep revisiting from time to time to glean nuggets of inspiration*. One of the mantras that I've gained from his insights is, "If it ain't broke, fix it anyways". It's a mantra that I've been putting to use since starting...

We've added another piece of functionality to the Finextra Community Portal - which is great news if you tweet and want your Network to know about it! We now offer the ability to display your 5 most recent tweets on Finextra in your Network Activity panel (See the big red cross in the image below!).

We have completed another minor revision to the Community Portal, that's aimed at keeping Community members more up-to-date with one-other: First, previously, when a Community Member sent a message to another, the only way the recipient knew this was to log in and check their messages. The current Finextra Message policy is to remove messages afte...
