NEW FUZZ FEATURES: what better way to spend a thursday evening?
I sure can't think of any better way to spend your next couple hours than playing with this stuff... so without any filler I now present to you, our beloved artists and fans, some of the major new features we've just released!
-- Big deal stuff --
For those of you in bands who were confused/annoyed by needing to have a normal user profile in order to create a band profile, and then managing your band as that user... no longer! You can now have a single, solitary, band-specific login that goes straight to your band management dashboard, instead of having to jump through a user profile.
We still think that it's good to encourage artists to be more active in supporting other acts and using the site as a fan too every once in a while, but we no longer require it. If you'd like to convert your existing fan+band combo account over to this new band-only style, just shoot me a PM me or email support@fuzz.com. And tell all your friends in bands who haven't bothered getting on Fuzz yet, that they can now sign up with these more simple band accounts!
-- Private Messaging stuff --
* Sent Messages box -- we've got a LOT of feedback that people wanted this, so now you've got it. We can't magically show you old messages you've already sent, but you'll get a copy of all future messages you send to other users in your new Sent box.
* New filters -- you can now limit the types of messages displayed to actual private messages from users, music recommendations, or fuzz notifications. this'll make it a lot easier to look thru what's most important at the moment.
-- Invitation stuff --
Some people have let us know that the little popup "Plaxo" widget for inviting more friends onto Fuzz wasn't working right. And yeah, they were right. So we wrote our own, and it's rad. Give it a try-- go invite more friends now and bask in the glory of a quicker and actually working friend invitation system.
-- Adding band members --
We used to require you to know your bandmate's email address to link them up with your band profile-- turns out, not everyone knows that! So now, all you need to know is their own Fuzz username to link 'em up (and don't worry, you can still invite bandmates who aren't on fuzz yet by emailing them, too. You've now just got two options there instead of one.)
-- Randomness --
Of course, there have also been gobs of bug fixes and other little coolnesses added, so be sure to go check everything out and see how you like the site now. And as always, send your feedback to The Goat. Word.
