    … And We’re Back!

    With a brand-spankin’ new payments system and other upgrades!

    A few things you’ll notice on your updated My Account page:

    - How much you’ve earned! Please keep in mind that your earnings are based on the items that have shipped, specifically PowerCurl, DigiDude, Split Stick, and Cordies.

    - Earnings accumulate daily. If you’ve earned more than one cent of influence per product, you will see an increase in your account balance. Reach that $75 payments threshold, and you’ll be eligible to receive a payout!

    - Rewards are cumulative by product. We will add daily rewards per product detail soon.

    - Pending balances on your account page is a work in progress. We will be including estimated earnings on all of the products you’ve influenced, subject to change based on how many of the people who committed to the product in pre-sales end up completing their orders.

    - A Facebook Connect link, which will make it easier to interact with Quirky using your Facebook account.

    - Improved analytics pages for product idea submissions. There were a bunch of bugs with the previous version that sometimes caused analytics pages not to load. These problems have been fixed.

    We’re so hyped to finally get this thing out of testing and onto the interwebs! Soon, we’ll be posting a more detailed description of what the changes to our system mean for your influence numbers.

    Apologies For The E-Mail Clutter

    Oops! Sorry for those test notifications e-mails, folks.

    We are in the process of completing some upgrades, and our system accidentally went haywire.

    For the record, we do not have a new “product 0030″ in development. Feel free to influence our current projects in development at http://quirky.com/projects.

    These things happen. Thanks for understanding!

    System Upgrades, Woohoo!

    Starting today, you’ll notice two brand spankin’ new upgrades to our system:

    1. Highlighted staff comments, which will make it easier to identify staff responses to issues on the boards.

    2. Pretty new notification e-mails. No more of that boring text bullcrap.

    Hope you enjoy! We’re also working on getting that payment system all fixed up for you — it should be up by early next week.
