Also this week, we managed to fix a few nasty bugs along the way, and we’re also releasing a brand new feature and a lot of help doc updates this week. Read on to find out more:
FEATURES
Groups and mobilisation – right now, it makes sense to put invisible panels behind collections of elements to make them mobilise the way you want. This is an okay solution, but we knew we could do better. So we added mobile functionality to our Group elements feature to make it easier to use. Select your element group and head to the Properties panel > Grouping. There, you’ll find a dropdown menu with these options for mobilisation: “grouping has no effect” and “grouping has priority”.
BUGS
Forms – forms were taking a long time to submit: around 15 secs in some cases. This bug only affected people with LOTS of prospect data (>50,000 leads). It was completely unacceptable, since we pride ourselves on speed and this was an issue that affected a lot of you. We’ve fixed the issue, and now you’ll be able to collect leads and grow even bigger, even faster.
Paragraph spacing – the new feature meant spacing was being added to the bottom of every paragraph on pages where shift+return was used to separate paragraphs. It should be fixed now, but if you experience any more issues, please get in touch with support@convertri.com.
Mobile buttons – recently we changed the way form elements mobilise so they always have a sensible height by default on mobile, by giving them a minimum height they should be when mobilised. For some reason, buttons started always auto-mobilising at this minimum height – which meant long labels got cut off, and some buttons started looking weird. We’ve fixed this now.
Shared headers and footers – the size of shared headers and footers was displaying decimal points. We’ve fixed this, so now it’s a sensible number of integers.
Background videos – background images used in background videos were blurred on published pages, but fine in the editor. We wiped off the smudge on the lens, and they’re fine now.
Element Tree – if you deleted an element on a layer after selecting it in the Element Tree, it wouldn’t show on the page but would still be visible in the Element Tree. We’ve fixed this.
Split tests – an error would be shown when you went to declare a winner of a split test. We’ve fixed this now, so you’ll be able to declare winners as normal.
Sendiio – this API was timing out, leading to some hold ups. We’ve fixed it.

INTERESTING STUFF
On the blog last week, we looked at a new beta test from Google called Enhanced Conversions that will make it easier to track prospects offline:
And over in the Facebook group, Martin Ström even created a reference doc to help you easily test Enhanced Conversions with Convertri. Check out his comment on this post:

Finally, on this day in history, the Stamp Act of 1765 imposed a direct tax on the British colonies in America. It required that many printed materials such as legal documents, magazines, playing cards and newspapers in the colonies be produced on paper made in London which carried an embossed revenue stamp. The Act was highly unpopular and resulted in the Americans rejecting paper completely, which led to the invention of the PDF, or “Politicians Do Foolishness” document, which became widely popular and is still used over two hundred years later. This, of course, is complete nonsense, but at least you can distribute your own paperless foolishness easily by giving your PDF’s away for download by using Convertri:
