We are putting the finishing touches on our next release of SendMyAd. Included in this feature are the usual behind-the-scenes improvements and optimizations to continually improve the performance for our users. In addition, look for these changes and new features:
Publishers Notification Update
- Support requests from the ad details view now go to the publication's default material contact. Likewise if a user sends a support request from the Dashboard, and select a publication in the help form.
Translations Update
- Dashboard Events will alert publishers that there is text in need of translations. This will help you keep on top of ongoing translation needs when new features are introduced in the site. We also exploring ways internally to keep track of all new translations and notify effected customers of the changes.
Ad Preflighting Update
- Fixed bug in preflight minimum maximum line width tracking. To correct please go to your preflight report and check your line widths.
File Delivery Update
- Added support for delivery of the original uploaded ad.
Revision Handling update
- New option in ad actions menu to boost an advertiser's revision limit. This is useful when an advertiser has reached the revision limit and you wish to manually increase that limit. The default adds 10 to the current limit.
Ereader/iPad Zip Update
- Added new view for browsing uploaded zip files. The left panel was too crowded to see the zip hierarchy.
Digital Ads Updates
- Preflight settings of digital ads moved to a profile setup where a single profile can be applied to all ad unit sizes at one time. Very similar to how print ads already work. Notice: If you are demoing the digital ad portal you will need to update your new preflight profiles to match your old settings. These were reset in the upgrade.
- Support for IAB image, rich media and digital video size spec import added.
- More campaign information on upload form and better campaign tracking.
- Websites option in the left menu renamed to Web containers.
- When uploading rich media ads, there is a new option to allow multiple file type. Previously only jpg was an option.
General Site Changes
- Improved our upgrade process, greatly reducing the need for clearing the browser cache after a site upgrade.
- Increased the flash version requirement to 10. The trim tool now requires Flash version 10. Check your version here.
- Increased browser requirements.
- New Requirements
- FireFox 3.5+
- Safari 4
- Now supporting Google Chrome
- IE 8
- We did not change any of the actually lock out of site limits. These are just posted as the minimum requirements. We strongly believe pushing for the latest browser versions helps keep the internet more secure and feature rich.
