August 2025

What's new in August: Key product updates, and improvements.

Enhancements

Admin Panel

• Released AIDA Forte 2.0, the latest and most refined version of our advanced moderation model. Based on community feedback, this update improves accuracy and introduces “explainability", a new feature that provides moderators with clear, concise reasons for each rejected comment, replacing generic guideline lists with specific explanations.

Social

• Added translation override support for the Privacy page, allowing partners to customize language and clarify OpenWeb data ownership.

• Implemented lazy-loading for community widgets (conversation, PITC, reactions) to reduce initial page load memory usage.

• Optimized image sizes to improve performance and load times in Conversations.

Bug Fixes

Ads

• Fixed an issue where the ad unit failed to hide when the __SPOTIM_DISABLE_ADS__ script was executed.

• Resolved an issue where video ads failed to run on sites without consent implementations by honoring the is_cookie_consent_observed_by_aniview config as expected.

Social

• Fixed an issue where link previews disappeared and the input lost focus when a new comment triggered the “View 1 new comment” button.

Feature Sunsetting

• We are deprecating the Reputation feature as we transition toward more innovative solutions.
