Toufee updates.. guess how many? :)

Hello There!
It’s been nearly a month since after the launch of toufee.com. We have been working day and night in the past one month in the hope of making our site more and more useful to you.

If you haven’t checked out your member’s area lately, please do so now.

Here are some of the major updates:
  1. New Improved User Interface: The movie editor looks much better now! Plus it now support for skins for better customization.
  2. Multi-lingual support is now enabled: This includes support for most European languages, accented characters, etc.
  3. Considering that the biggest percentage of our members after USA are from Brazil, Toufee Brazil is now under works at http://toufee.com/?br
  4. Improved image handling. Try to add an image now! Not only the handling is much easier now but every account has a gazillion shared images with tag cloud searching.
  5. Better Flickr Search: import multiple Flickr images with one click.
  6. Improved Sound handling. Thousands of sound effects, music loops, and sound search with Tag cloud searching. Sound search altavista.com, yahoo sounds, etc.
  7. Easier to add videos: Inbuilt video search from youtube, one click import of Google Videos, etc. Support of lot of video formats.
  8. All elements can be rotated and scaled now including images, textboxes and notes.
  9. Improved actionscript code makes your movies and effects run faster regardless on how many videos, images, sounds and effects you add to a movie.

This is just tip of the iceberg. I cannot possibly include all the changes here but if you want to, checkout our past Blog entries for the full list. All this has only been possible based on the feedback we’ve received from members so if there is absolutely anything that you
think needs to be improved about Toufee, please do let us know too! We always read and appreciate all your suggestions. Thanks much.

Also I'm working on a Toufee Bulk Image Uploader Tool. This is something like the Flickr Uploadr tool to help you get your folder full of images right inside your Toufee account with a single click. Its not ready, but you can see a screenshot here:


Also there have been some changes in the FAQ. Please make sure to scroll down to read it.

relocated nameservers

Some users reported that our site was down yesterday. Actually the server wasn't but upon investigation we found out that during development we were using the free dns server at afraid.org. And while it was doing okay during testing i think it was failing to take the load of a production server. We should have done this earlier but i guess it was an oversight on our part to not to have moved the nameservers to a more professional place before launch. Anyway we've moved it to ev1.net now because they can handle plenty of load.

Also please re-send any email you have sent us in the last 24 hours because the nameserver affected our email address also. Thanks.
