Welcome to the second edition of Takeoff Tuesday, a weekly feature on the FixYa blog that highlights the new site features that were released on Tuesday morning.
Along with giving you an idea of what new tools you will be able to use, this feature allows you to send us feedback on what is awesome and what you would like to see added in the future.
Just like last week we have a minor addition that will improve your interaction with FixYa. Unlike the Edit Categories feature however, which will be used by Experts to improve their ability to solve questions when they are on the site, our new Email Settings page is meant to improve interaction with FixYa when you are offline.
As many of you have told us, the email updates FixYa sends when someone comments on a thread is invaluable.

Welcome to the first edition of Takeoff Tuesday, a weekly feature on this here blog that highlights the new site features that were released on Tuesday morning.

Sometimes the update is big and sometimes the update is small. No matter the size of the update we will be here communicating exactly what we are doing and why we are doing it.
Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, we aren’t going to bore you with all of the back-end changes we’re making. Everything found in these articles will be directly relevant to you and your experience on the site. No fluff, only the good stuff. All of this happens here, on the FixYa blog, every Tuesday afternoon.
So what did we add today? So glad you asked!
Today we added an “Edit Categories” section to allow Experts greater freedom in selecting what categories they want to solve questions for. We felt compelled to make this addition due to a myriad of factors, the most important being the number of experts asking for it over the course of the last month.
