Other - Wishlistr had 3 hours of downtime (Monday, 00.04 GMT to 03.14 GMT) due to problems with one of the hard disks.

No user data was lost in this incident and our service provider has replaced the malfunctioning hard drive with a new quick and healthy one.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Tag your wishlist

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:32:23 +0100

Updates - Today we've rolled out a new feature for your wishlist – tags! Tags are small keywords that you can use to organize your wishlist items and make your list easier for you and your friends and relatives to browse.

You can start using tags right away by activating the feature via the settings on your edit page. If you want to know more about what tags are and how it works, we've put together a small little page explaining it all.

We know a lot of you have asked for this functionality for a while so we are thrilled to have it all in place now. Please let us know what you think, and keep sending us your feedback.

Easier login with OpenID

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:49:55 +0200

News - Now it's possible to use an OpenID to login to Wishlistr! This means that you don't have to remember yet another username and password, since OpenID is a system that lets you use the same username and password on all OpenID enabled websites across the Internet. Today thousands of websites supports OpenID and more are getting on board every day. For new users that don't yet have a Wishlistr account but an OpenID, this means that they can skip registration and sign in directly with their OpenID instead.

But what does this mean for those of you that already have a Wishlistr account? Well, nothing. As long as you are happy using your regular Wishlistr username and password, that is. Both types of authentication systems will co-exist and you can choose which one you want to use. If you have an OpenID and want to use that to login, you can – once you've signed in with your normal username and password – associate an OpenID with your account. From then on you can use your OpenID to login.

If you don't have an OpenID, but want one, you can get it from an OpenID provider, such as myOpenID (it’s free).

Updates on Wishlistr

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 11:41:52 +0200

Updates - As you might have noticed things look a little different here on Wishlistr. We've tweaked the design a bit, optimized the code and added a new function that lets you keep track of your friends and their wishlists.

Adding a friend on Wishlistr is easy. Start by locating your friends Wishlistr accounts using our new search function. When you’ve found someone you want to add to your friends list simply visit his or hers profile page and click the link "Add to friends". Done!

From your new friends page you can then keep track of all your friends, their wishlists and upcoming birthdays.

Go ahead and try it out, and don't forget to let us know what you think!

Oh, and one more thing. We have also added a shiny new wishlist template called "Cake".
