Streamlined sign up

We’ve launched an enhancement to the scrible sign up process. With this change, accounts no longer have to be verified before they can be used to start annotating and saving web pages. Now you can get into our service and get to work faster than ever before. The only caveat is that you won’t be able to take actions that generate e-mails until you’ve verified the email address associated with your account. One example of this is sharing pages via email. This is our effort to streamline the experience while still fighting against spam and abuse of the service.  Here’s the new sign up confirmation window:

If you can think of other places and ways that we can streamline the process of getting started with scrible, please let us know at our feedback page.  We’d love to know!

Not so fast, storage quota

A user recently reported to us that they felt their quota was being used too quickly.  We investigated and – lo and behold – it was true.

We had a problem with how the quota usage was calculated, which caused pages saved multiple times to be counted multiple times instead of just once.  This has been fixed now.  So, everyone should have more room to organize their saved pages.

As you can see we really do listen to your feedback!  Please let us know if you see anything you don’t like or if something seems wrong.

Do you speak □□□□□?

One of our users pointed out to us that when he saved a page with traditional Chinese characters in his notes, when he retrieved the page, he got back Mojibake inside the notes instead of comprehensible notes because the characters got turned into garbage like □□□□.

We had recently switched to a new library on our servers which assumed a latin 1 character set instead of UTF-8.  After some remedial language lessons, our system is back to speaking the languages of the world.  If you happen to find someplace where it isn’t working though, please let us know so we can send the system back to a refresher course 😉
