As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.
The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
Have a great weekend,
daisy, Team Vox
In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.
Thanks! :)
Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope you have a great weekend!

We’ve been amazed at the amount of great content that’s showing up in the new explore areas on Vox. With “Super Tuesday” just around the corner, the News & Politics page has been filled with Voxers from everywhere discussing policies, candidates and the issues. If politics doesn’t float your boat, we hope one of the other sections has made it easier for you to discover posts about topics in which you're really interested in.
To help provide you with more visibility to news-worthy topics, we've teamed up with MSN to bring you the articles you don't want to miss. You'll find breaking news headlines right below the featured Vox content in News & Politics as well as Entertainment. This way you won’t have to stray far from Vox for the latest news. We are excited about this partnership with MSN and we hope you'll view it as just another way for you to find content that’s relevant and important to you.
The Purple Tie, it’s the New Spring Color
Today’s release also addresses some of the feedback you gave on our last release. We made adjustments to the position of QotD, increased the number of comments that you see, as well as fixed a handful of bugs within the navigation. Thank you for being so patient with us while we work out the kinks! We continue to read all of your comments and feedback messages and thank you for taking the time to let us know about what works and doesn’t work. As always let us know how Vox can be improved by using the Feedback page.
It’s Tough to be Middle of the Road
We are saving the biggest change for next release: the Neighborhood Update module. With the previous design, our major goals were to reduce the redundancy of information, remove the wasted space within the welcome module, as well as improve the performance of the page. It used to take up to three seconds to load the dashboard! We realize that the changes were a big jump for many of you and we are working on bringing back the at-a-glance usefulness that you want.
Stay tuned!
Deep in the bowels of (sorry Krissy!) Here at Six Apart HQ, we've been busily working away to improve your blogging experience. Some time later this afternoon, we're going to release what we internally call version 0.7.5 of Vox[1]. Unlike some of the other releases we've talked about here, here and here, this release is almost all bug fixes, slight interface tweaks and cures to various of the other little things that have been bothering us (and you!) about Vox.
Probably the most noticeable changes will be in how we handle posts from cell phones (what the kids call "moblogging"). Some of the cell phone carriers (we're looking at you, T-Mobile and Verizon) add random titles, advertisements and other crud to the emails you send us from your cell phones. We're doing our best to de-crudify them so your post looks exactly how you'd expect it to.
We also now let you know on the Vox home page if you have more standard invites. Below that nice "Invite Friends to Vox!" graphic is a message that tells you how many invites you have left.
Most of the other changes are subtle and we'll let you find them on your own (it's treasure hunt time!). We are constantly working to improve Vox and are trying to be as responsive as we can to your feedback. Please keep letting us know what you like and don't like and we'll keep trying to do more of what you like and less of what you don't. Most importantly, remember that change is good! We like to release new features about every two weeks and are currently working on some real fun stuff which we'll show you after the July 4th holiday.
[1] For the geeks in our audience who enjoy tracking our version numbers, do a "view source" on your browser and look at the header tags. As I write this, we are currently on version 0.7.3.
