As it turns out we’re better at updating 23 with new features than at updating the users at 23 about those features. I thought I’d give an overview of some of the new stuff, that’s going on:

• Flash upload: The nice people at Macromedia has included a new feature in Flash 8, which has allowed us to add a great improvement to the upload process: Selection of multiple files at once, and real-time progress on the upload. And, better yet, it’s much more stable than that old-time, ordinary browser upload. We’re still testing this feature, but we’re also welcoming you to check it out. When you’ve tried it, please drop by this forum thread and give us some feedback. Within a few days, supported browsers will be taken automatically to the Flash uploader, if their browser is supported.
• Blogging: We’ve given the “Blog this photo” an extensive overhaul, including a WYSIWYG interface. And we’ve added support for blogging stories as well.
• Send: The Send feature has been changed. Instead of sending a plain text mails with a link, we’re now sending a styled mail with all the photos.
• Languages: The translation project is gathering steam. The latest upgrades have included many more translations, and for example Spanish is only inches from being complete. Have a look at 23 in Spanish, 23 in Norwegian, or go back to 23 in English.
• Sign-up: If you’re already a 23 user, this won’t affect you much. But we’ve made it much, much easier to sign up for at free 23 account. Look! There’s even some help text there!
