Special Features for Sustaining Members:
Now you can post your Gives, Asks, and Gratitude to the entire BN community around the world. The little globe signifier will let everyone know your post is Global. We're excited to see how you put this feature to creative use. Here are some situations where we think a Global post could be rewarding:
- You've had a great BN experience and want to share your Gratitude with the world.
- You're searching for something very specific, and want to cast the widest net possible with your Ask.
- You have a Give that would be easy to ship around the world and you'd like to make a connection beyond your community.
- Your Ask or Give isn't successful within your 20 mile radius and now you just want to Go Big!
Bump your posts to the top of the Home feed! From the 3 breadcrumb dots in the upper right corner of your posts, tap "Bump Post to Top" and your post will rocket to the top of the feed. You have 3 chances to bump your post. This simple feature enables you to get more attention to your Give or Ask if it has gone unfulfilled.
Save up to 5 locations to make it that much easier to BuyNothing everywhere you go. Home, work, school, family, vacation - Now you can save a handful of BuyNothing communities to make it fast to connect whenever you're present in each one. You'll find this feature at the very top of your BN home page screen.
Sustaining Members can create chat groups and invite up to 50 members.
Flag your posts as Let it Simmer or Flash Give. You'll find this option every time you open a new Give post using the Share "+" button in the center of the taskbar across the bottom of your screen.
Click the green bookmark icon to save a post, then adjust your home page filter to see your bookmarked posts. You can choose the filter you'd like: Active, All, or Bookmarked, at the top of your home page feed.
Now, Sustaining Members have additional options for fine-tuning the radius around you that determines the local posts you can view. Choose the new 10-mile radius or the 50 mile radius to expand your Buy Nothing sharing even further.
