And... ACTION! Posting a video used to be a multi-step chore - not anymore! We've streamlined and modernized the whole process: upload your video in a single step, right from the editor, and watch a real progress bar follow it from upload all the way through processing. In a hurry? Go ahead and submit your post - your video will finish processing on its own and appear when it's ready. That's a wrap on the hassle. |

Extra! Extra! Introducing the Farran Report - our new dental news section featuring commentary straight from Dr. Howard Farran himself. Industry news without the fluff, served with Howard's signature no-holds-barred take. One more reason to make Dentaltown your first stop of the day. |

Our Townie Choice Awards got a makeover worthy of the winners. We rebuilt the entire ballot experience from the ground up: a clean streamlined flow, plus the freedom to step away and pick up right where you left off. Voting has never been easier! And when the winners are crowned, the results got a glow-up too: every winner for the year on one easy to view page, organized into expandable categories with product photos, with full voting breakdowns just one click away. From ballot to bragging rights, the whole TCA experience is brand new. Check it out! |

Finding a fellow Townie just got a face-lift with our vastly improved member picker. Whether you're tagging someone in a post, inviting members to a group, or sending a private message, the new member picker now searches all members as you type and shows profile photos to help you find the right person. No more guessing which of the seventeen Mikes you meant to tag. |

We've just upgraded our Classified Ads system to support multiple file uploads! Now you can attach up to 8 images, documents, and files as you need to showcase what you're selling or advertising. Whether you want to show your item from every angle or include supporting documentation, just upload away. More files = more information = better ads. It's that simple! |

We're super exited to announce another small feature to enhance your site experience - YouTube embedded videos. Now, any YouTube video you put into your post will automatically be viewable within the post itself. No longer will a link redirect you to YouTube, rather you can simply watch YouTube videos directly from within your posts. You're welcome!! |

We like nothing better than giving you more freedom and ease when using our site. To that end, we just added a new "Quick Reply" section at the bottom of the thread view page. We did this to give you a fast, simple way to quickly reply to a thread. However, don't expect all the bells and whistles on this new Quick Reply feature. It's designed for speed and ease vs complex functionality. |

To help you stay better connected with the topics you're interested in, we expanded our notification system to notify you when an inactive thread that you've participated on becomes active again. These New Activity emails are sent when there is new activity on a topic that has been dormant for 30 days or more. Of course, as with all our other notifications, you can opt out of this new feature from your Profile page if you don't want to receive these emails. |

They say perfection is in the details, that's why we like adding even small features to our site to make a more robust user experience. In our latest update we expanded on our "Thumbs Up" message board feature (indicating you liked a post), to allow members to also give a "Thumbs Down" to posts. Thumbs up and thumbs down are a feature found on many online communities and social media sites. This is a quick easy way to express your like or dislike of content, creating opportunities for you to have a more personalized experience. |

One of our core philosophies is operating with a high degree of transparency. To further that goal, we gave you the ability to view any and all moderator and administrator edits/revisions made on member posts. But don't worry edits you make to your own posts are still "for your eyes only" |

Its that time again. As most companies do, we periodically update our terms of use. We're pretty sure you'll be happy to hear that this time not only did we update our message board terms of use, we simplified it making it much easier to read. Check it out here. |

We're happy to introduce our new Subscription notification system. You are no longer limited to receiving emails about new activity on any of your subscribed topics, users, or forums.
