What do these updates actually do for you?

1. Users subscriber base can now organically grow without having to find new subscribers. The algorithm presents a range of active accounts to new users joining the site to follow. If this is not fast enough and you want to grow your subscriber base faster you can pay to promote your account to these users and site users. It is based on a cost per click model and priced at $0.10 per subscriber with a minimum spend of $2.50 (25 subscribers). This is accessed on the feed page
2. We have added in some fixes that hopefully make the mobile side of the site easier to use and slightly less of a mess. We are currently exploring mobile app options
3. Meta shares of shops and profiles now show the correct meta information
4. the ‘edit image’ button on profile and header images now only shows when the user mouses over the image
5. There are call to actions in place in the marketplace trial informing people that their sales don’t go active unless they subscribe
6. There has been issues with email notifications not sending or sending too much, as well as the frequency toggle not working correctly. These have now been fixed
7. If you have a website, or want your photos on someone elses website without giving them a physical copy of the photo they can now be embedded like the photo below:

• A very small amount of people have had issues logging in. We have addressed what we believe was causing these errors
• A lot of our users enjoy perusing EXIF data and didn’t enjoy our existing layout. We have completely rebuilt the EXIF layout for our users to make it clearer
• Our rolling upload limit on the free accounts was confusing some users. We have now changed this to a fixed time of midnight GMT and added a timer to show you how long until you can upload again
• The existing adding of photos to albums was an annoyance at best. So photos can now be added to albums within your ‘My Uploads’ section
