New Features
- Faster Page Loads — Optimized data loading across the site with smarter caching and reduced payload sizes. Pages load noticeably faster on repeat visits.
- Photographer Search — You can now search for photographers directly from the search bar. Switch between "Places" and "Photographers" mode to find other users by name.
- Multi-Format Coordinate Input — The search bar now accepts GPS coordinates in many formats: decimal (25.033, 121.565), DMS (25°1'59"N 121°33'55"E), and more. No need to convert formats manually. Coordinate searches also show nearby photo spots with distance, and never count toward your daily search limit.
- Remember Map Filters — Your map filter selections (photo status, categories) are now saved and restored when you return to the map page.
- Improved Map on Mobile — The map now requires two fingers to pan/zoom on mobile devices, so single-finger scrolling works naturally to explore the rest of the page.
- Pro+Alert Rule Improvements — Clearer explanation of how global vs. custom alert rules work, plus quick access to alert rules from the notification dropdown. Save confirmations now show a toast message.
- Subscription Confirmation Email — You now receive a confirmation email with your plan details, billing amount, and renewal date immediately after subscribing.
Bug Fixes
- ProWeather Alert Timing Fixed — Fixed an issue where weather condition alerts could notify you about time windows that had already passed. Alerts now only notify about upcoming windows.
- Location Search Coordinates — Fixed a rare issue where searching for a location could result in invalid coordinates, leading to incorrect forecast data. The system now automatically retries and shows a clear error message if the issue persists.
- Photo Location Matching Fixed — Fixed an issue where photos uploaded from a forecast page could be associated with a nearby but incorrect location. Photos now correctly match to the exact location you searched for.
- Distance Units Now Match Your Preference — Fixed an issue where nearby spot distances always displayed in kilometers (or miles) regardless of your unit preference setting. Distances now correctly follow your chosen unit.
