MetroPCS (February 28, 2008)
We've included the details on why @pktpix doesn't work with MetroPCS. It's truly not our fault.
Movies (February 26, 2008)
This weekend, we implemented movie capabilities (yes, send movies to an iPhone!), but it's not live to the public. It'll follow the same methodology as pictures, but we need a handful of testers to make sure we're not insane. Drop us an e-mail at lab at pktpix.com.
Captions, Captions, and Captions (February 22, 2008)
It turns out our caption engine was somewhat broken, it was discarding anything with HTML in it. Fortunately, one of our users let us know, and we were able to fix it. So, no more blank captions for everyone!
Image Expiration (February 22, 2008)
We will automatically delete images that are over 30 days old. Why? Because it's kinda creepy that someone can see your picture whenever they want until the end of time. At least that's what some of our users think, and we agree with them.
New Site Design (February 3, 2008)
We took a break from the stressful activities of organizing our sock drawer and petting the cat, to give you a much nicer-looking web site. While it doesn't have an impact on you sending messages, it bothered us because it was so ugly before.
Spam Filtering (February 2, 2008)
Some of you were getting slowed down by our spam filters. We adjusted some settings (without sacrificing quality), so for those of you affected, your messages should go through a lot faster.
More International Messaging (January 31, 2008)
Some of you are sending extra 0's before the country code, we didn't realize how popular that format was in Europe, so we changed our code to anticipate it. Messages that weren't previously delivered have been rescheduled for delivery.
Faster Messaging (January 28, 2008)
Before today, messages were taking forever (well, in text-message-land, two minutes feels like forever), to be received. We upgraded our SMS stuff, and now messages fly out pretty quickly (15-45 seconds)!
International Messaging (January 28, 2008)
Prior to January 28, international messaging did not work. That's fixed as of today. Just make sure you put in the right country code...
Broken Links (January 28, 2008)
We re-did the internal image structure, so you may have gotten a link that doesn't work... (we know it happened to two folks). That problem was resolved too.
