Updates? Anything New Coming?
Hey All,
I been using MC for two years or so. I'm not hugely active so please correct me if I'm wrong. But I remember when first signing up there was a lot of talk about features being added or improved upon. At one point we were even receiving updates like once a week. So much so I'll even admit to finding them annoying because they were generally in areas I wasn't interested in.
But at least stuff was happening. And now it seems like development has fallen silent.
So I'm curious to hear if there's anything happening or is this it? Like the CMS is not bad but there was still lots of areas for improvement. And SEO is pretty much non existent. I doubt there's been any new templates added. And who knows how old the blog system is. Like at the very least add a toggle html view so we could at least do it ourselves.
Any updates on current state of mc will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would kill for more templates or more options to customize our sites, the ability to reorganize videos and photo sets, etc.
I really do love MC but def agree it seems like any kind of new features or updates for MC as a platform haven't been priority lately!
Would love some info or updates, admin?
Yes! This, please. A lot of my content really needs to follow a chronological order (some clips are sequels to others, etc) and for various reasons, they have gotten out of order. I would love to be able to reorder them and get them back in the right order.
I feel like there's a lot focus on SynC, which is probably a bigger effort to implement than most people would think, but I would like to see some develop[ment effort toward the base platform functionality soon.
The video uploader indeed is 5 times slower than on other sites, that would be great to fix.
The newsletter system: I was told over a year ago that they will include that feature so we can send out newsletters to all people in the database.
Years ago when I joined it said in the editor,there will be new themes coming. They didnt come.
Often simple features like setting a preview picture for a gallerie don t work:-(
I hope they will start improving,its not helping business if not
I would hate to have to move my site elsewhere
Upload one vid at a time, as I find this solves the problem.
Some of these things - live streams not working, upload times, new themes, organizing content, etc. - are like, crucial to running this kind of membership site.
I can't say I'll stay with MC another year (at domain renewal) if I don't see some of these improvements or updates happen.

As a developer myself, please allow me to share a very important perspective.
If the developers are really working hard to deliver fixes and updates, but provide no communications on how things are going or when we will see them, as MC clients, what we experience is that NOTHING is being done and MC will lose some of its hard earned and well deserved 'good name'.
I have personally, totally given up on ever having a normal, standard, basic search feature that my customers can use here. It's available everywhere else on other sites. But after requesting it for years from MC and being told it's not a priority, I've resigned myself to just keep losing customers over it. I used to be more positive and excited. Oh well.
If the plan is to simply announce when updates are ready, I'll tell you right now, that would be a poor strategy. People are seriously looking at alternatives and can become emotionally committed to solutions other than MC before you start telling us what's happening development-wise.
When I first came to MC, it was the most positive I had ever felt about an adult site development space. Now, after 2 years of lethargic unresponsiveness from the developers to improve the system, I'm struggling to find the joy. I want to love MC again.
Help!
