The development of Drone Scene continues!

A new version of Drone Scene has been released :tada:

What’s new since August? :thinking:

Not much I’m afraid - consider this more of an interim release :grimacing:


New Features

  • None
  • Nada
  • Zilch
  • Nowt
  • Zero
  • Literally, nothing
    – (sorry :cry: )

UI / UX Changes:

  • Increased the Location name/title character limit
    – It was originally capped to 30 characters
    – You can now add Locations with titles of up to 100 characters in length
    – Requested by, well, just about everyone really :blush:

  • Prevent people adding a /collection/ URL from Kuula
    – Kuula Collections are great, but we only need one image for Drone Scene thanks :blush:
    – You can now only enter a /share/ URL in the Kuula link box


Bug Fixes

  • Vimeo thumbnails recently stopped working
    – The folks at Vimeo changed the format of their video thumbnail images and didn’t tell us
    – Rude

  • Member Locations that had (brackets) in the uploaded photograph filename did not embed over here in the forum properly
    – Sorry @Acedrone this happened to a few of yours!

  • Some areas in East of England were not being automatically geocoded correctly when adding a new Location


Other Random Stuff

  • Minor content changes

  • Embedded the Introduction to Drone Scene video in to the /about page
    – It’s ideal for people that are new to DS

  • Added an SSL Certificate to https://www.dronescene.co.uk
    – Even though DS doesn’t use the www domain name, I added some shiny SSL to the redirection anyway
    – Requested by @firstadekit


As ever, please continue to enjoy Drone Scene and please keep those feature requests coming!
