  6. Today we’ve added a drop down menu in the Everyone tab. This lets network users and admins alike perform more actions more quickly without cluttering up the interface. We’ve also split apart phone numbers and email addresses into separate columns to make them easier to scan.

    And, we’ve dramatically improved the performance of our file browser in browsers with slow JavaScript (we’re looking at you, IE7!).

    There’s also the usual roundup of bug fixes, including: page title display, better prompting during profile edits, small icon tweaks, and, for network admins, the ability to save a login choice URL.
