2.1.7 is a result of digging deep and finding designs that just didn't feel right and functionalities that could have been better. We gathered over a hundred of these little things and knocked them up one by one.

🌟 What’s new?

1. Customize contact page content: Now you can personalize the message seen on the contact page. You can leave a quick note to those trying to reach you, models and fans alike, like TAT for enquiries, questions that will be or won’t be entertained, other expectations, or anything you'd like.

2. The Back Button: On all the media content pages, there is now a back button on the top-left corner. Navigating to previous pages is now simpler with on-screen controls.

3. Search among email templates: With an ever-growing use cases for different triggers for emails, we’ve added a search feature so you can get to the one you need quicker.

4. Subscription link inside chat room: Inside a chat conversation with a model who’s user subscription has expired or not renewed, users will now find the monthly and yearly subscription buttons from where they can quickly jump to and subscribe.

🐞 What’s fixed?

1. Last updated timestamp in email templates page: The edited timestamp was not being captured. This is fixed now.

2. Registering using an existing email: It was possible to register using an email already existing in the system. This issue has been sorted now.

3. Broken Signup link: Fixed the issue of the registration link on the footer menu being dysfunctional.

4. Incorrect Model Statistics: The statistics seen on the banner within the model profiles was showing inaccurate numbers for total number of galleries, videos, and subscribers. We’ve corrected it now.

✨ What’s improved?

1. Removed buy buttons for scheduled videos: For a subscriber who’s checking out a video set for future release, the buy button was still showing up. We’ve removed this, repositioned the player to the middle of the screen and also added a message to wishlist the video.

2. Reset filter in geo-blocking page: Added a reset filter that will clear out any entered search result in the country blocking page.

3. Complete model privacy: A model who has opted to restrict her profile from showing to users from specific countries was still displaying on the homepage. Only when trying to access that profile would users see that profile is not available for viewing. Instead, we have made it so that the profile will not show up among other model tiles on the homepage.

4. Toast notification for guest users: When a guest user tries to subscribe or view content, we’ve added a notification directing to register or sign in. Other similar notifications will also show up when the guest user tries to purchase products or view a gallery.

5. Validation checkmarks in login page: The validation marks on the login page have been made to appear after three characters in case of username and eight characters in case of password.

6. Separate tabs for payment gateways: We have added the CCBill and Verotel tabs separately in the admin control panel for easy navigation between them instead of having to scroll endlessly to find the settings.

7. The Apply Coupon Button: Once a coupon is applied, the same button will now change to “Remove Coupon” to allow users to remove the same.

8. Password confirm option for admin: Admin will now need to enter password twice when updating the same for admin account.

9. User Subscription Page: The data reported in the user subscription log has been slightly tweaked to add missing ones, modify existing columns, and remove the unhelpful columns.

5. Names for different content types: The names for different types of content, like videos, PPV, galleries and products that used to show up on top of their respective pages have been removed since the icons are self-explanatory. (Although help text have been added that appear on hovering over the concerned icons)
