Adaptavist are happy to announce the 1.3 release of the Community Bubbles plugin for Confluence. This release builds on the forum updates in 1.2 adding topic activity scores and other bug fixes.
New and Notable
Topics, Hot or Not?
This release includes new functionality to track the activity of topics within a forum. This lets you provide an indication on the topic list of which topics are 'hot' and also lets you sort the list by the most active topics. The best part is that the calculations are customisable, so you can tailor them to you own individual usage patterns. For more information view the documentation for this feature.
