changelog cover

New stuff to check out:

  • A small delivery from Yerkebulan now allows you to quickly copy your order ID by simply clicking on it. It can be useful when you communicate with our support to resolve any issues.

  • Rodion made a significant effort to visually indicate that certain actions are not available for your role

  • When you sign up with a password, we provide you with a helpful shortcut link to open Gmail and find our confirmation email more quickly

  • The hyperlinks in your order content are now automatically set to the type specified in the conditions (dofollow, nofollow, sponsored). However, you can always change this in the hyperlink adding menu for a particular link if neded. Baked by Rodion.

  • If conditions change after booking, Daniil and Yerkebulan has done so you will be notified and offered the choice to accept the new conditions or cancel the order entirely.

What was fixed and imroved:

  • The client dashboard updates:

    • Rodion has disabled role changes for your current account, so only others can modify it according to this guide

    • The notifications counter for the campaigns is now updated correctly

  • The order drawer changes:

    • Previously, you could cancel an order even if it was already in progress on the media side. Now, you can only cancel orders that are currently in progress on your side of work, thanks to Pavel.

    • The chat in orders is more responsive and takes up all the remaining height of the order drawer

    • The chat is now scrollable, making the message input easier to access since it is no longer hidden beneath the messages

    • There was also an issue where long messages appeared formatted without proper syllable transfer

    • New messages are now indicated by a red dot

    • Some text appeared unformatted when copy and pasting it into the order editor

  • Changes in the marketplace:

    • A change you couldn't prepare for: Yerkebulan has changed USD to $ everywhere

    • The filter "Audience by Countries" is now working properly and shows only the media where traffic from the selected countries exceeds 30% of the total

    • Sometimes, previous selections remained in the marketplace table, but this is no longer an issue.

    • In the emails about updates for saved views, the number of new media under your saved views is now calculated correctly, thanks to Pavel

  • Meta tags, tracking pixels, and backdating were previously listed under "Accepted Topics" but have now been moved to the conditions block

  • Some users may experience a 502 error, but they shouldn't anymore.

Inside Medialister

No better place than a changelog to confess our struggle to find the best metrics for PR activities done on Medialister by our clients. One of things we are exploring is measuring the attention. As a Product Lead, I oppose this metric as too vague to be a decisive factor and which even could be backlashed as baloney. Alexander, the founder, fights me pushing the points of its scientific grounding and no proper alternatives. It might be biased from any side, so as a good litmus test, we've agreed to check what the community thinks before adding it to the product.

For now, no harm in learning: https://medialister.com/blog/attention-is-a-critical-component-of-advertising-for-long-term-impact
