Minor Release Notes – 1/17/09

A new version of Stickyfish was released on the 17th.  This release contains both fixes and minor enhancements.  Here's what's been updated in this release…

Enhancement: Trade-in limit increase – When setting up a prize as a trade-in item you are able to specify the limit per member.  The system limited the max items per member to four.  This limitation has been removed.

Enhancement: URL compatibility with keyword search – some StickyFish clients have been using a keyword search system that adds characters at the end of the URL when executing the link.  This resulted in an error page being generated.  We modified the URLs on our pages to allow for the characters so that the pages could be accessed from the keyword system.

Fixed: Report access for new contest module – During our beta test of the new contesting functionality it was discovered that station admin accounts were having difficulty accessing the sweepstakes result reports for contests.  A new version of the sweepstakes result report that is compatible with the new contest functionality was created.   

About our Software Releases

We are constantly hard at work to provide you with the best software in the industry.  Our software releases are divided into two categories – very short small releases that mainly address software fixes but also include small enhancements, and longer bigger releases that include at least one significant upgrade to the platform or new service offering.  Shorter releases will be labeled Minor Release and bigger releases will be labeled Major Release.  If you have questions on any item in a release, please contact us at success@enticent.com.
