Today we&#8217;re releasing the first (and smallest) of these upgrades: a new homepage for Kitely Market. Today&#8217;s update also includes an increase of the idle timeout for world managers and Premium Account members.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Homepage for Kitely Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/market\">Kitely Market<\/a>, before you execute any search, you see the Kitely Market &#8220;Homepage&#8221;. Before\u00a0today we didn&#8217;t have a special homepage for Kitely Market, so we simply showed 15 random products. But starting today the homepage will show products that are likely to be interesting and useful to you. We do this by showing a few popular categories, and some of the most interesting items in\u00a0each category. The new homepage also displays a few of the newest products, which will help these products get exposure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page-921x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Kitely Market Home Page\" width=\"625\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page-921x1024.jpg 921w, https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page-624x693.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.kitely.com\/virtual-world-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/market-front-page.jpg 978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re logged-in when you visit Kitely Market then the homepage will become even better, because it will be customized to you. For example, the products that you see may change depending on\u00a0which products\u00a0you&#8217;ve bought in the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Increased Idle Timeout for World Managers and Premium Account Members<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kitely automatically disconnects avatars who have been idle in-world for 30 minutes. This ensures that\u00a0worlds don&#8217;t keep\u00a0running indefinitely if you forget to close your viewer. However, we&#8217;ve received complaints that sometimes this timeout is too short. That&#8217;s especially a problem for builders, who might\u00a0be working in Blender for a while and then return to the viewer to\u00a0find that they&#8217;ve been disconnected, and have to login again.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve therefore decided to increase this timeout to 2 hours\u00a0for world managers in\u00a0their own world, as well as for all users\u00a0who have\u00a0a Premium Account (even when they visit other peoples&#8217; worlds). This will eliminate timeouts in the most common cases: people who are building their world, or are actively using\u00a0their world but not\u00a0moving (e.g., using voice).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the next few weeks we&#8217;ll introduce several big upgrades to Kitely Market.
