We're happy to announce that we will be updating many of our services this coming Thursday morning. Read below for a list of the enhancements and improvements!
We will be performing the updates on Thursday morning (7/12) between 6-9 AM. There may be brief times when the website is unavailable, especially between 6-7 AM.
A lot of these enhancements were ideas submitted by our users. We have a long list of ideas, including big ones and small ones, that were all submitted by the community.
Please note that some of the updates are only available when using our new Manage interface. You can read about the new Manage website in our blog here, or please contact us for additional information.
