There are several changes that have been made on Virily which is a positive thing. Its interface has been redesigned and new features have been added. I’m sure some of us will post an article on the new features and how to navigate on the site.
One added feature is that there are two notifications. When you click on the profile photo you’ll notice the first notification that displays the number of virils you’ve earned (not sure on the duration of the virils one has earned). It looks something like this: 345 virils. When you click it, you’ll be directed to a page which displays the virils you’ve earned on a particular time and date.
The second one is written ‘notification’ unlike the first one. When you click it you’ll be shown users who have commented on your posts. There is the option of deleting the comments or replies.
The most delightful one (and thanks to Carol, Doc Anderson and others who reached out to the admins with our suggestions), is that we are now able to edit and/or delete our published posts. There are some published articles I would like to update especially regarding facts or get rid of some facts which are no longer facts or they’re not facts at all and to add more information or reduce when applicable. At times we might feel some of our published posts are not earning any views. There is no need of keeping them. In such cases, we can delete them. I’m grateful to the admins for this feature which is one of the most important features in a writing site.

You did a thorough review than mine which shed a lot of light on the new virily. Looking forward for more of your reviews.
the admin team is making an effort
That is right, Alex. It is making an effort to improve its site and meet the user’s suggestions and requests.
which is a very positive sign, in my way of thinking
I totally agree with you.
so keeping my fingers crossed for more bug fixes
First thank you for the mention!
Great piece and positive view of the virily changes. Good on you!!!
Thank you, Doc. The most important feature that I hoped for has been implemented.
in typical Virily fashion, the new power comes with even greater responsibility!
Yah… you’re right. I missed that fact. Thanks for the reminder.
no need to apologies or anything, it is what is it!
I agree with you. I like the changes. There are also some disadvantages (communication ….). Hope this works out too.
I hope they will improve on their communication skills.
Yes i welcome the virily recent changes
It’s a good thing they’re working on improving the site.
I have long accepted the way Virily Admin works Just accept and move on. So many representations but hardly any have been looked into. I am not clear about one thing. What is the benefit for anyone to edit posts that have already been published. Will Admin check them? What if some referral link is added or some such violation?
The editing feature is helpful though there is the possibility of abusing it. For instance, in Hubpages I edit articles to make them more relevant in terms of updating facts and more information. Also, in correcting grammar and spelling errors. In some articles I receive an increase in views and people tend to trust articles that contain fewer errors.
Thanks for this positive post and sharing some of the new additions. However, as I always say, we should not be stumbling around wondering what has changed. Where is Virily? We need explanations from them.
I totally agree with you Carol. They should have informed us of the underway changes as is the case with other sites. And provide a guide on how to navigate the updated site. I don’t know or understand why they don’t like communicating with the users. It’s as if we’re on our own.
carol DM can you tell me how to edit a post?
I have not tried anything new yet but below Introvert has explained it………..
I am not able to see draft and post wating for approval. Can you locate them?
I haven’t accessed the new Virily on computer but on smartphone. Click your profile photo then notification. You will see a menu on the left. Click it and you’ll see two posts. The first one allows you to edit posts. The second one is found towards the end of the menu. Click it. Then click the menu which is always represented by three lines. This time it’s located on the middle. You’ll see draft and pending article.
