We pushed an update of the system tonight around 11:15 PM ET.  This release primarily fixes issues reported during our launch.

• You can now choose the representative image for Spots and Visits Until now, the image shown on the Spot page, or as a thumbnail next to a Spot summary, would simply be the first image that had been uploaded to the Spot.  This was also true for Visits.  With this release, you can choose which image should be shown.  Just go to the Spot or Visit edit page, and the rest should be obvious.  This was the by far the most often requested enhancement!
• New feedback interface The old feedback interface did a bad thing: after you would go through all of the trouble to send us feedback, we would send you to a page that was not where you were, and with really with no place to go!  That was bad (and we’re sorry!).  The new feedback interface uses a popup which let’s you resume your train of thought once you’ve been kind enough to send us your insights.
• Streamlined goecoding interface for Spots  We’ve changed the way you tell us where a Spot is located.  We’ve taken the separate address lookup, and latitude/longitude entry boxes, and combined them into a single one.  We hope you find this arrangement easier to use.
• Spots can display an address Displaying just the latitude and longitude of Spots was initially neato, but it turns out the novelty wears off after while, and people just want to see the name of a town, a state, or a country.  So now you can associate the actual name of a place, and not just the GPS coordinates, with a Spot.  So, if it makes sense for your Spots to have an address, you can now update them with one.
• Many many other fixes and refinements  Many fixes and refinements, both large and small and too numerous to mention, have been made! 

Once again, we’d like to thank everyone who has sent feedback or dropped us an email for their time and effort.  Many thanks also to everyone that has contributed a Spot, and especially those who have contributed more than one!

Future Updates

We’re going to keep updating Spotstory on a continual basis, but in the future look for each release to have a theme.

This doesn’t mean we won’t be reacting quickly to major problems like we always have: each release will still contain numerous fixes for critical bugs, or problems that just seem particularly pesky.

We haven’t finalized the date of the next release, but it will probably occur in early May.

Thanks again for being a part of Spotstory!
