We got feedback that the standard little person picture wasn't fun and we wanted more people to upload a fun picture of themself, their cat, their favorite team, favorite moment, etc.  So, we've changed the standard picture that Pikum members start off with. Here's the new default picture.

 

We've already had some great new pictures put up by users... My favorite - DnChichi - and no, that's not Don - it's someone we know though. 

 

To upload a new picture, just use the link under the picture on  the dashboard when you login. 

 

The fix was just put onto our production system. I tested it and we're all good. Now when you challenge someone, the link in the email works and will take them directly to the Pikum you challenged them to.  Keep the feedback / bug reports coming. Our team will be working through the holiday week-end to continue to upgrade and tweak the site.

Thanks to everyone who's pointed out that the link that's included when you're challenged to a Pikum isn't working.  We found it first thing this morning. It's been fixed by our dev team, we're testing, and it'll be implemented onto our production application by tomorrow morning. In the meantime, you can get to all your challenges through the link on the challenge email. You can find any challenges there.  There are a number of cool pikums in the system - both for pikles and for pounds.  If you're in, make sure you've found one of the ones focusing on this week-ends premiership action.

As Johannes and I mentioned in our posts about launching, private betas is the test, listen, and iterate mode.  Last night we made a number of changes and they're live on the site.  Here are some of the areas we improved:
