TourBuzz Service Update: Sleek Fonts and Colors and lots of little stuff!

Continuing our theme of making it easy to create stunningly beautiful tours, we have some great improvements available today!

We have added 21 new fonts for use in the skins. We have also figured out how to make these fonts available in the Flash part of the tour and even in the exported video, so you can be sure your exact font choices are perfectly rendered across all of your tour materials.

While all of these new fonts are available on all designs, right now only the Sleek player supports showing them in the Flash portion of the tour. We hope to upgrade all of the other skins to support this in the coming weeks.
Other improvements to the player's look and feel today include:
  • Reduced stuttering on video playback on slower internet connections.
  • Popup windows for map, email, now use the colorscheme and fonts from the design.
  • Sleek now has a bunch of additional color customization options, including the player background.
  • Sleek is only compatible with Flash Player 10.2 and up (85-90% of all visitors). For those without a recent enough Flash player, they will be prompted to either upgrade (a 1-click process in most cases) or given the option to view the tour in a legacy player. 
Other improvements to the TourBuzz system released today include:
  • Ability to reset the stats for any tour on "Edit Tour" Stats tab.
  • Added an "active only" filter to tour search page.
  • All outgoing emails now include an HTML version as well to reduce problems with wrapped URLs in some Mail clients (Outlook).
  • Made error handling on uploaded media more graceful; gracefully ignore DS_Store files.
  • Fixed bug where unicode characters weren't displayed correctly in web page title. If you ever saw "funny characters" on any of your tours on text that had been copy/pasted from elsewhere, this probably will fix those tours.
  • Changed wording from "Virtual Tour" to "Panorama" where appropriate.

Stay tuned for many more updates in the coming weeks!

Thank you for the stat reset!  That will be a great help when properties change brokers.  I have wanted that feature for awhile, so thank you!
