New features
We’ve made it easier for your judges to make evaluations within the Top pick judging mode. A new feature within each entry allows your judge to hover over their previous picks, making it simple and fast to compare and change a pick, if they wish.
A new message appears when a user hits the voting limit (5 votes from one IP address per entry in 5 minutes). This helps to restrict spammers targeting entries on public voting.
Four new language translations have been added to our platform: Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish (neutral) and French (Canadian).
Improvements
Program managers can now set the maximum number of entries shown to judges. Previously, judges could choose their preference for how many entries to display in a list, but not all judges knew the option was there. This will make it much easier and more streamlined for judges moving forward. #timesaver
The entry autosave now only saves when changes have been made, resulting in better application performance.
There have been several payment gateway improvements:
BluePay payment gateway users can now add a payment identifier to their account.
The First Data payment gateway has been updated to be compliant with the new SCA regulation.
The Stripe legacy payment gateway has been removed as an option in the payment settings. All clients using Stripe now need to use the more secure gateway.
