We’ve updated the console with a couple of neat new features. You can now select the icon for your event that is displayed on the events list screen, and also preview the event-specific URL for private events.
But the big news for some is that we’ve finally managed to solve the problem some users were seeing with their logins hanging. We knew this was caused by firewalls and antivirus programs that blocked port 843, but didn’t have a way to not use that port. Finally we’ve found a way, so now if you’re using Internet Explorer on Windows the console and results screens can avoid port 843 and so you should be unaffected by firewalls.
Other browsers and Macs still need access to port 843 (because of browser/Flash limitations on those platforms), however the console now checks that it has access and provides a much more useful error message.
