ImThere Blog

Since Gorman is slacking on his blogging duties, I decided to blog about the recent updates myself. I’m not as great with words as gorman, so I’ll get to the point. Here’s what’s new:

• Fixed issue with meta tags not escaping content properly
• Hotness improvements
• Various changes to URLs to make them cleaner
• Improvements to contact importing on invitations
• Various changes/fixes with email verification
• Fixed links in invite email, welcome email, and mobile verification message
• Rewrote the carousel javascript – This fixes various issues with thumbnails/user icons not showing up and scrolling carousels
• Fixed issue with timelines w/ little content not initializing properly
• Fixed styling on pop-up calendars on event creator/editor and invites
• Fixed issue with comment caching which caused comments to not automatically update
• Added a notification for IE6 users about our current lack of support for their browser of choice (and recommend alternatives ;)
• Various html validation fixes
• Fixed issue with sorting by newest
• Fixed issue with username length on user carousels

I’ve mostly been working on the ImThere API, which is coming along quite nicely. Here’s some of the functionality that will be included:

• Browsing events, venues, artists, and users (obviously)
• Posting/updating events, venues, and artists
• Saying ImThere/BeenThere/SeenThem to events/venues/artists
• Favoriting venues and artists
• Setting your status message

Most of the api is already in place, if you want to start poking around. Just add .xml to a url. We’ll officially launch the API, with complete documentation, very soon. If you want more info on the API, stop by our API room on Campfire. I’ll try to idle in there and answer questions.

Also, Wes is working on some fun stuff which should be launching “any day now”.

If you’ve had problems verifying your email address the last couple of days, click the resend verification email link and try it again. There was an issue with the verification codes not getting saved. Sorry about that!

Update: Oops! Should really work now!
