Nice look on the update! Was the "History" feature removed from the website or placed in a different location? I found it useful from time to time to monitor visitor minutes to manage my KC levels.
Thanks for the quick response, Ilan!

We'll publish a blog post about the update soon.
No feature was removed, some features were moved to the Go To menu in the new header. The History page can now be reached via the Account History option in that menu.

Re: Kitely will be down for a 1 hour upgrade cycle on April
Is the Explore Worlds "button" an exact replacement for Public Worlds or is there something different about the results under the new name?
I was wondering about this yesterday. Would it be possible (or have you just done this?) to make it so an avatar will see in the results, all of the places he/she can go...regardless of what category of account they are open to?
Example. I only have one world currently open to the public, in the Access column of My Accounts, that one says Regular Accounts. Most of my other worlds are open to a specific group. My alts are in that group so they can visit. My question here is, would it be possible to make it so if my alt searches my name, he would be able to see all of the worlds I have that he is allowed to enter? ...rather than just the one that is open to the public?
I plan to open other worlds to the public as the year unfolds. I invite friends in to my group so they can check out my worlds while under construction and give feedback. I would like them to be able to Know what worlds I have made available to them by simply using Explore Worlds. I can see this would have additional benefits.
I hope I have explained that well. The renaming of the button to Explore Worlds is a good idea, no matter what. The broader nature of the phrase got me thinking about this.

Hi Danko,
The Explore Worlds page is exactly the same as the old Public Worlds page.
Everything is possible, but it requires time to implement and can cause confusion when different people see different things in the same page depending on what worlds are open to them. Making it hard for them to assist each other.
You can see the access permissions for your worlds in your own My Worlds page.

Re: Kitely will be down for a 1 hour upgrade cycle on April
I also like the new "Explore Worlds" name.
But just to make my suggestion again.
I wonder if to solve the sometimes raised issue of people, for various reasons, not seeing but limited worlds, that the ones they cannot go to be "greyed out" and unavailable to click? Might be useful as a carrot stick kinda thang.
Thx for the update on enabling HG...hurry!!!

Yay, more bug busting! Looks like you've stomped some big ones. Thank you.
I like the new look so far and think the services page has a much clearer explanation of how Kitely worlds and accounts work. One thing I'm not clear on. If you purchase a fixed price world are you considered a premium member, or do you have to pay an additional $19.95?

Premium membership is not included with a fixed price world, so, yes, you need to pay the $19.95 per month to be a premium account holder.Marstol Nitely wrote:Yay, more bug busting! Looks like you've stomped some big ones. Thank you.

By the way, if you are group-building a shared set of metered worlds, it does help if everyone in the group has taken up Premium membership.
