Sometimes the little things make a big difference »

We updated the iReport system this morning to make some changes you can see and some changes you can't see. First, you will notice some changes in terminology we use on a couple of pages:

  • The "Flag for Review" link on comments and stories is now labeled "Report Violation." We wanted to make sure users understand we are counting on them to help alert us to problem posts.
  • When new stories are still being processed by our servers we have changed the label you see while you wait to read "Uploading." Just a little more accurate description of the processing that is happening between the time you click submit and the time the story shows up on iReport.
  • When you are viewing an iReport story you will now see a line above the comments that tells you which assignment the story was posted to. This was added based on feedback from the community (yes, we are paying attention to all those comments!).

Under the covers we are continuing to make changes aimed at making the site more responsive. This time you should see faster loading on the "My Stuff" page and on the list views for specific tags. We also made changes to retry uploads several times automatically if minor errors occur on the first attempt.

What do think? Let us know in the comments!
