URL Soft Blocking

thomascollins — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:25:53 GMT

I heard that a future release will include the ability to "soft block" categories? I believe competitors call it "Coaching". It's the ability to present a warning page for certain categories, but allow the users to click "Continue" if they really want to access that page.

Will that feature be in the next release?

This feature (Continue pages), is schedule to be available in the 6.0 release of the WSA. The current ETA is Q4 08 / Q1 09.
