AspNetDating 7.0 has been released! Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. Enjoy the new release. As always the new version is a free upgrade for all our customers.

AspNetDating 7 is now completed and will be released as soon as all functionality is tested and any issues are fixed. In the mean time we wanted to give you a sneak peek preview of some of the search page improvements.

1. Dynamic expanding search options. Quick and custom search functionality are merged. Users can start with simple age/gender search and then refine the results by any other available criteria. The dynamic filter tree generates expandable options for all profile questions and choices. The last user search is saved so users will continue their search from where they left it the last time.

2. New quick action icons with tooltips. Users can now easily view profile, send message, send e-card or add to favorites right from the search results

3. Photo stack effects. The primary user thumbnail includes a few of the user photos for better presentation. If photo rating is enabled then the site picks the best rated user photos for even better effect

AspNetDating 7.0 is feature complete and soon to enter in the testing phase. We expect a release within two weeks. There are plenty of changes under the hood and we've listed some of the more notable changes below:
