New Features:

  • We added a default set of Spanish language Text Labels.  Site Admins can now choose to apply and edit English and Spanish Text Labels separately.

  • We created a new set of Advanced Settings to control the maximum file upload size in different contexts. These new settings will impact the member, post, multi-photo and PDF Chat upload logic. By default the maximum file upload size for all field types is 10MB.

One of the best business decisions we've ever made

We switched to BD about a year ago, and it's one of the best business decisions we ever made. Our website now is user-friendly, and our members can easily update their profiles and add content on their own. But what I love most about BD is that they are constantly adding new features, and they seem to really care about their clients... We struggled through various platforms, from WordPress to very expensive custom-built websites. None came close to being as functional or reliable as our BD website.
