New Features on Patch

Patch's engineering team reacently launched two new features on all Patch sites. Both aim to improve user expereince and encourage discussions and conversations.

Shout Out Box

The "shout out" box, located on the right side of homepage, makes comments more visible. Readers are welcome to add personal commentary on anything related to Libertyville. This can be a comment on an article, a suggestion for a future story, or anything you would like, as long as you keep it clean. Feel free to "shout out" as often as you'd like.

Q&A

The Q&A feature, located on the third tab from the right, allows you to ask any questions you have about Libertyvile, or anything else. These questions could be about anything from, "Who has the best beer selection in town?" to "What's going to happen to the Brainerd Building?" You can see how it works .

Patch will continue to deploy more user-friendly features and encourages all users to become familiar with them.  

If you have any questions about the new features, please email local editor Chi-an Chang at chi-an.chang@patch.com.
