Please vote the official Qfeast poll about "News Feed", your opinion matters most!

http://www.qfeast.com/poll/mSRXfG/When-do-you-want-to-receive-news-feeds-about-new-stuff-posted-on-Pages

Thank you in advance, Qfeast Team

Minor changes:

- We have optimized the interface, like the quiz taker, poll voter
- The stories can display now the paragraphs and do not remove the duplicated spaces (thank you for your suggestions)
- In order to prevent possible haters / spammers to abuse your wall, causing your followers to be flooded in their News Feed, we have introduced the following:

> a new option "Who can create new posts on your Wall?" has been added in [Settings] - > [Profile Post]
> you can write See More on someone else Wall (if you are allowed) just one post at a time, then you have to wait for the owner to post something too. This was added because it happens that some users (like haters) write repetitive messages on other walls very fast, causing the followers to have their News Feed flooded with junk
> the newcomers are allowed to write new posts on other user Walls after few days only (now 3). They will be able to comment your posts in this period.

Wish You a Great, Prosperous, Blissful, Healthy, Bright, Delightful, Energetic and Extremely Happy,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!

What's New:

You can view the number of new news feed items, similar to the notifications. There is also a special sound for this, so you can know when you have something new on your News Feed, even when you have Qfeast in background. Due to the fact that many of you receive a big number of news feed items, this news feed item sound is turned off by default.

You can turn on/off the sound for the unread news feed items in [Settings] -> [Sounds].

Reverted back to the old layout (vertical list), as it seems that the grid layout was confusing many users due to variable item height

What's New:

Before: vertical ordering, quizzes were displayed on a vertical See More list, top to bottom
