Issues With wn.nr Links - Resolved

We are currently experiencing a DNS outage for our wn.nr domain that we use to power Viral Share links. The outage appears to be impacting all .nr domains.

This means that Viral Links created in the past may not be resolving for users trying to access them. We are waiting on resolution from the DNS Operations team that control the .nr TLD.

In the meantime you can enable your Bit.ly integration under Settings > Integrations to get around this problem.

Keep an eye out on Twitter for updates.

All media submit actions now have duplicate photo checking, we were seeing issues were users could submit the same image over and over again.

Upload actions now support the ability to allow users to add a Caption to their photo.

This caption will also flow through to Galleries.
