* Community-Online Now shows members currently logged in.

* Community-By Location show the geographic distribution of members around the world based on their location entries.

* Community-My Neighbors shows which members are close to you based on your and their postal code entry.

* Wherever a member's contribution appears (publications, forum topics and comments) there are quick links which allow you view the member's profile, send them a message or add them to your contacts.

* The Search facility has now been extended to cover members and publications as well as the forums.  It is now located in the Support area.  There is also a basic search box on every page of the ChordWizard Network.
