Today's scheduled maintenance and upgrade is complete, including the following improvements:-
Template Library Upgrade
The template library has had a refreshing facelift; you'll now find all the templates grouped by category, so when creating a campaign it should be simple to find a template to match.
Preference Centre Link
Previously you've had the option of either a link to a preference centre, or to a one-click unsubscribe page; due to popular demand (and because it's a good idea) you can now include links to both in the same campaign. Find out how in our Knowledge Base.
Internationalisation of SMS Verification
To activate a dotMailer account requires (in most cases) verification by SMS; this has now been extended to send texts all around the world.
For Corporate accounts and dotMailer Resellers
The template management area has been upgraded to allow:-
- better management of template tags
- drag and drop ordering of template tags
- drag and drop ordering of campaigns
Other tweaks and improvements
We've also upgraded and tweaked a several other features including:-
- The 'My account' and 'Change password' sections have been redesigned
- The dotMailer Watchdog has been further optimised and will now work much faster
- Loading of campaign thumbnails has been changed and pages will load more efficiently
- Some 'under the bonnet' changes to make way for better support of your local language and date settings
- Some browser compatibility issues were resolved on the Campaign Setup page
- Figures for address book suppressions reported in dotMailer were including those for deleted email addresses; these will be excluded from address book totals (unless re-added to the application)
- Domain name renewals for non-standard top-level domains will now be handled automatically
- Microsite links are now included in overlay reports
- Horizontal scroll bars are now available if you select more columns than can be displayed in the browser window.
- We didn't have a 404 error page for broken links inside dotMailer... well, now we do (Though we hope you never see it)
- The API method ListContactDataLabels would occasionally not list newly created data fields, this has been resolved.
There seems to be a glitch when creating a campaign based on a sent one. A new pop-up asks for the campaign name, but it doesn't seem to stick - I have to rename the campaign at the next step.

Good spot there, Ian!
I've raised this with the team and will let you know when we've got it sorted.
Many thanks,
Stoo
Good news, this is now fixed. Let us know if you find any more quirks!
