Keeping up to date

We’ve had a fantastic amount of feedback over the past few days. The downside of this is that it’s been hard to respond to each request - we’ve been trying to do so individually, however, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you now.

We have been keeping you updated via a series of emails, both prior to the new site and more recently with a list of bugs and features we’re working on. However it’s become clear that a few of you have not been receiving these emails. 

If you’ve been missing our newsletter and would like to be kept up-to-date with our continuing developments, you can do so here.
For those of you who never received our most recent email, you can read it below…

Our first priority post launch was to fix initial bugs and technical issues. However, this also gave us a chance to look at the feedback from the community. We have used this feedback to help us prioritise the work we are now doing.

Over the weeks prior to the change, we informed you that some functionality would disappear temporarily. We’re aware of the disruption that this can cause, so we want to share with you an early list of the things we are working on right now.

This is not a definitive list. There is much more to come, including new features and functionality. However, the list below is our priority over the coming weeks. 

Bugs being worked on now:
• Notifications: There has been an issue with certain notifications not being issued. This will be fixed
• Entry view count: at present only logged in views are being counted. This will again show all views
• We are aware that some images exceed the size of the visible screen on certain monitors. We are exploring alternative solutions for those affected by this
• The EXIF Data on some photos was not displaying correctly. This fix will be made   
• We will remove your name from photos when browsing by “Me” (replaced by date and title of entry)
• Calendar view to clearly display dates with entries
 
Features we are working on now:
• Thumbnail crop (for Members)
• New, improved stats (for Members)
• Downloading your high res images (for Members)
• Comment editing
• Keyboard shortcuts for navigation
• An icon guide for all your new awards

We apologise for this period of disruption. We will be contacting you to officially ask for feedback in the near future. But for now, we hope that this information helps.

Thanks once again for your support.

Warm regards
The Blipfoto Team
