The latest Doodlekit news and events...
We will be upgrading the servers this Sunday, the 31st in the morning around 9am.
There should be limited downtime. We'll post an update when it's complete.
We are currently working on a new statistics reporting engine to provide website usage information in a more convenient format. This will also improve website performance by moving to a nightly report process.
While that's going on we need to disable the current reports to ensure everything runs smoothly. We are currently targeting the first week of September for the new reports.
Website usage will still be tracked during this time, so once the new reports are ready, you will be able to see the data for this period.
Thanks to everyone for their patience.
UPDATE: 8/16 - We are still working on our long term solution for this. We know exactly what to do, it's just taking some time.
We had a problem with the systems today and the servers weren't responding for a few minutes. We have a number of plans to keep things speedy and up as much as possible. Namely we/ve almost doubled the number of processes, we're looking into improving caching, and working an alternate statistics engine to take load off during the day.
Just wanted to let you know we're keeping an eye on things, and to apologize for any inconveniences the downtime may have caused.
We just released three new controls on the form builder:
- HR (Horizontal Rule) - Now you can add a horizontal line to help 'break up' your form into sections.
- Text Paragraphs - Now you can insert paragraphs of text between form controls to help explain sections of your form.
- Password Field - Now you can have a textbox that allows people to enter in a password without showing what is being typed.
These new updates really help improve the look and usability of your forms.
If you have any other suggestions for form builder improvements, post a comment here and let us know.
Today Doodlekit released a new version of our forums tool. This version has more of a standardized look and feel to it. It should be more familiar to those who have worked with forums before. You can see an example of the new design by going to our forums:
I will update this post later with more details.
