–Creators, your mockups just got a MASSIVE update! Just take a look at the Promote > Social posts. This is something we've been working on for a while, and are quite proud of how it's turned out. It's time for you all to generate some hype around your amazing art!
–A little more shipping status work to get the international shipping more accurate. All customers should have statuses that more accurately reflect what's happening with their prints.
–Order statuses have been revamped. They are now more helpful to explain where everything is. We also have more accurate statuses on when something is in production, and the time it takes. This is now the compliment to our much better tracking information, and should enable everyone to have a bigger picture of where their prints are.
–Our support documents are now on support.darkroom.com
–We've been trying out a whole bunch of different options for support chat, and have now settled on a better, more stable solution.
–Continuing on from last months SEO stuff, we've made the sitemaps.xml more applicable to your gallery. Hopefully this improves discoverability on google, although nothing can beat a little self marketing.

Updates from August
–We've added some SEO goodness to your gallery and details pages. There are dynamic titles, and meta tags that reflect your product title, your name or username, and the product description. Note, SEO is only effective if you have titles and descriptions, so if you want discovery, time to update them!
–Did someone say horizontal masonry? We're pretty sure someone did right? Well we made it an option. Check it out now in the design tab. It looks super clean, and can really make your gallery pop.
–We’ve updated the Design tab again! Gallery adjustments now stick to the bottom of the page as you scroll, and a new arrow button lets you minimize the menu for a full preview of your changes.
–The order details email has a more reliable link to the order details page. It was previously failing to generate correctly in certain circumstances. It will be correct every time now.
–We have made some nice stylistic and copy changes to the error modal when you upload an unsupported image. It should be a lot clearer as to the steps to take to ensure you have the right uploads now.

Updates from July
–In your admin dashboard, reorganizing the display order of your products and collections is smoother than ever. We've optimized performance behind the scenes, introduced a slicker animation when dragging items into place, and (finally!) added mobile drag-and-drop support so you can adjust your store layout on the go.
–Another popular demand, creators can now add a dedicated Twitch link to their main gallery page. If you previously used a generic website slot for Twitch, switch your link over in your settings to display the official icon alongside your other social media profiles.
–It was a shipment tracking month! It was pointed out to us that our tracking link wasn't accurate for larger framed orders that use freight for shipping. This has been rectified.
–It was brought to our attention that the support chat bubble wasn't working on all pages, we have fixed this and now it shows up when it's needed.
–UI issue in mobile safari where the pricing tab was partially hiding content under the menu is now fixed.
–By popular demand, you can now track your shipments without leaving your order details page! You can now see quick status updates at a glance, with the original link still available if you need to jump into full tracking details.

Updates from June
–Updating an address during checkout now reliably syncs across all shipments. We fixed an issue where certain address updates, particularly involving autocomplete or Stripe Link, caused orders to stall. Address handling is now smoother and error-free.
–Simpler, condensed error tracking in the orders checkout. We previously showed a list there of the things still required to complete this checkout, we now have it collapsed, and click/tap to see. The UI will guide the checkout naturally, so having the list above was a distraction.
–There is now a "printable sizes" table in your admin product details page. After a lot of back and forth, we've found an elegant way to see where your sizes are enabled, which are and aren't available (including how to enable if it's not).
Desktop, it's on the right.
Mobile, scroll down a little and tap to reveal.
–Sadly we had to retire Moab Somerset Museum Rag paper from samples ordering. Our printers no longer have access to it. It wasn't super popular, but there were some dedicated fans out there.

Updates from May
–We're busy updating the support pages to reflect all the changes we've made of the past year. There are a lot more comprehensive articles there now.
–Google sign up now has some subtle changes. Although we offer both google sign up and password/email combination. If you initially signed up via google oauth, we have now display clear information in your account page on how to change your password, and continue using both.
–After making the new cashouts tab, we needed to update the UI of the orders tab to reflect the cashouts tab. This is now cleaner, and clearer.
–Due to popular demand, we made a cashouts tab in your admin screen. This is your one stop shop to see your cashouts, profits, and also includes tax information for you.

Updates from April
–We noticed a very small percentage of people are still using our old .tech domain. It turns out our email service was replacing our direct links with this. So copying and pasting links would cause issues. We've replaced this service, and our links are now pure darkroom.com.
–In your order details (the page after you've completed the order), customers can now click on the products to see it in the gallery, and hopefully order more, or share with friends.
–Our matte paper has changed, see the new copy to see what's new.
–Some subtle ui changes in the admin sidebar. We're organizing it, making it more logical with the additional options over the last 6 months.
–Automatic timezone setting in discounts. No more having to manually set it!
–Ensure the date format is correct in the limited time options in products.

Updates from March
–YouTube socials links are now dynamically handling the older /channel and the more modern ones
–There is now a limit of how many characters your tagline can have. If it was too long it lost the impact.
–We noticed really long First and Last name would overflow weirdly in the main gallery, this is no longer the case

Updates from February
–Our desgin tab has been completely redesigned, we're really proud of this one, have a look, and let us know your thoughts!
–Discounts duration is much more granular. You can schedule, and set an end date and time.
Feb '26
Updates from January
–You can now opt out of getting emails via the contact form. Account -> Details -> Contact submission form. Uncheck to not receive emails when someone fills this.
–Discounts now have public and private versions. Public ones show on your gallery, no code needed, private are with a code, and for sharing with people personally.

Updates from December
–It's the start of the year, time to ensure everything is running smoothly after the busy holiday season. Running some updates, cleaning up some things.
–The mobile version of our pricing page got a very nice UI update.
–We've been busy updating the google oauth login. These things change over time, and we hadn't touched in a few years. It is still working, but is now modernized, and set for future changes.
