Version 4.6.7 - Updates and Bug Fixes

Minor Updates :arrow_up:

  • VIP Guest List Email Notifications: VIP Guest List Email notifications now allow up to 1280 characters. Previously they only allowed 320 similar to the current SMS Text character limit.

Bug Fixes :lady_beetle:

  • The Participant View now correctly sets the <html lang="en"> tag to the language code set by the language on the Experience Dashboard (CPDV-585).

Version 4.6.8, 4.6.9, 4.6.9B, 4.6.9C - Production Configuration Fix

  • A third party package started causing the production-only build process to fail, keeping the app stuck at version 4.6.5. The above versions were attempts to correct this, which was difficult because the problem only occurred when deploying, thus causing a version increment on every change. Fortunately the issue was solved in 4.6.9C.

Version 4.7.0 - Updates and Bug Fixes

Minor Updates :arrow_up:

  • Edit VIP Guest List Notifications - VIP Guest List notifications can now be edited and updated after they’ve been created. Simply click on the new green pencil icon to edit a notification. Only unsent notifications can be edited. If a notification has already been sent, it can only be cloned or removed. The buttons to clone and remove a notification have now been moved under the Edit Notification slide-down panel.
  • All password input fields now have a clickable eye icon that allows you to see the password in plain-text. Clicking the button again re-hides the password text.
  • In the upper-right corner, a team member’s plan now displays Team Member if they are on on the personal Basic Plan. This better indicates that the Team Member can has access to the Team Owner’s plan.
  • On the My Account page, a Team Member’s Team Plan is now displayed above their Personal Plan to indicate that they have access to the Team Owner’s plan on any shared experiences from their Team Owner.

Bug Fixes :lady_beetle:

  • Fixed a long-standing bug when setting a Scheduled Start Time that would incorrectly save the current time’s seconds into the start time. So when setting a Scheduled Start Time of Tuesday August 20th 8:00PM EST, it could be saved as 8:00:55PM, thus causing an unwanted 55 second delay. This was due to a logic error. Now, the Scheduled Start Time always sets the seconds to zero thus always starting the experience on the whole minute (CPDV-592).
  • Fixed an issue introduced in 4.6.7 that caused Twitch On-Demand Videos/Streams to not load on the Participant View. The Twitch integration has also been updated and is now optimized and only loads the Twitch JS library when an experience has both 1) a Twitch On-Demand Video/Stream added and 2) a triggered Twitch On-Demand Video/Stream (versus previously loading on every single Participant View regardless).
  • Updates Spanish internationalization translations.

Version 4.8.0 - Bug Fixes

Minor Updates :arrow_up:

  • Trivia questions now allow up to 5000 points per question. This increase was a customer request to allow more flexibility in scoring.
  • The Presentation View no longer displays the Disconnected notification if the browser disconnects from the Internet. Based on customer feedback, this was an unhelpful distraction to participants. It still displays on the Experience Dashboard to let the host know if there is a disconnection.
  • When triggering the Call All Squares function in bingo games, a confirmation dialog now appears on the Experience Dashboard to confirm this action (also if triggered from the Presentation View). Based on customer feedback, this function could be triggered accidentally too easily.
  • Any Crowdpurr users, especially new users, with pending Crowdpurr Team invite are now always routed to the Team page to accept/deny the team invitation upon every log in.
  • Added design improvements to the Experience Dashboard’s Summary → Print View

Bug Fixes :lady_beetle:

  • Fixed an issue where Crowdpurr team members with EDIT access on a trivia game were still limited to the Basic Plan 15 question limit when opening the Trivia Library to add library questions or generate AI questions from the Experience Dashboard on a shared experience that was Classroom Plan or above (CPDV-615).
  • Fixed an issue where editing multiple fields on a question’s Edit Question Panel (and also Edit Answer Panel when editing answer options) on the Experience Dashboard could potentially fail with an error (CPDV-614).
  • Fixed an issue on the Participant View that caused the Show Rankings Leaderboard sound effect to no longer play.
  • Fixed an issue on the Experience Dashboard where trying to use a Question’s Rewrite with AI function on an active experience would cause a browser refresh when clicking Generate. The Rewrite with AI button now correctly disables for live experiences.
  • Fixed a minor bug on the Participant View related to the color picker that was causing a log error to display.

Version 4.8.3 - Billing Updates and Bug Fixes

Minor Updates :arrow_up:

  • :dollar: Billing Updates Phase 1: This was a huge update completely overhauling Crowdpurr’s ten-year-old integration with our billing and payments vendor. It’s an update that initially started 2.5 years ago, involved several staff members, and was finally reviewed and updated for production. This update is our “Phase 1” which overhauls our integration under-the-hood to modern standards but leaves the overall billing functionality as-is. We wanted to make sure the existing functionality worked under the new integration. Phase 2 will start introducing new major billing features/updates/tweaks. Phase 1 updates include:
  • :credit_card: Multiple Payment Methods - You can now add multiple payment methods, set your default payment method, and remove old payment methods.
  • :newspaper: The Preview Invoice has been updated with more details, better pro-rating logic, and better details about past payments.
  • :newspaper: Under My Account → Plan & Billing → Invoices you can now download both past invoices and receipts for paid invoices.
  • The customer feedback form when downgrading has been updated.
  • :heavy_check_mark: At the suggestion of our vendor for payment dispute abuse, a checkbox has been added at the upgrade point-of-sale to confirm the user has read our terms and conditions, privacy policy, and refund policy.
  • :gear: New internal admin features for managing user billing.

Bug Fixes :lady_beetle:

  • Fixed a bug where Yearly Classroom and Seminar Plan users were not having their monthly streaming minutes recharged each month.
  • Fixed a regression bug where Crowdpurr stopped loading on some older television embedded web browsers (e.g. older Samsung TVs) due to package configuration changes (CPDV-178).

Version 4.8.1, 4.8.2 - Failed Production Builds

  • Due to so many changes in multiple packages and configurations to overhaul our billing integration, several package updates caused production build failures that were only occurring in final production build. This caused us to burn a few version numbers until we solved the issue.

Version 4.8.4 - Minor Updates and Bug Fixes

Minor Updates :arrow_up:

  • :glowing_star: Create Team Experiences: Team member users with CREATE permission can now create experiences from scratch using the Trivia or Bingo Library, the Poll wizard, and the Social Wall wizard. Previously they could only cumbersomely clone existing experiences of the Team Owner. Upon creating an experience they’ll now be given the option of creating an experience for their own account or for their team account.
  • :framed_picture: WebP Support: The WebP image format is now supported across all image uploads in Crowdpurr including custom logos, question images, answer images, bingo square images, profile images, Custom Ad images, Presentation View background, Participant View background, and Social Wall posts! This is a huge workflow improvement for anyone writing trivia games and uploading images from the Internet, as many sources have updated to WebP.
  • :white_check_mark: New Status Page - We upgraded our Status Page provider. You can also subscribe to get emails updates in the extremely rare event Crowdpurr experiences issues, downtime, or outages. Check it out at status.crowdpurr.com.

Bug Fixes :lady_beetle:

  • Fixed a bug where action effects stopped working on the Participant View when enabling Show Correct Answers (C) and on the Final Winner Animations.
  • Fixed a bug where on the Participant View in trivia games in Percentage Mode where the upper-left corner percentage correct and and the final percentage correct were different (and sometimes 0%) compared to the Rankings Leaderboard (CPDV-624).
  • Fixed a bug on the Participant View where a bingo game would not return to the bingo card if Show Rankings Leaderboard (R) was enabled and then a Call Square (B) or Call All Squares (X) was triggered (CPDV-623).
  • Fixed a bug where the Participant View’s Results Summary could falsely report that players cast an incorrect answer on Drag & Drop Order questions when their answer was correct.
  • Additionally, the Participant View’s Results Summary now displays the player’s cast answer for Drag & Drop Order questions if the player answered the question incorrectly. This improves players’ understanding when they answer Drag & Drop Order questions incorrectly.
  • Fixed a minor bug where Conference Plan users were told they “needed to upgrade to the Conference Plan” after submitting a Custom URL for activation (CPDV-625).
  • Fixed missing internationalization labels in the Participant View Results Summary columns.
