"Download Album" is back online

Hey Everyone

We've finally fixed the "Download Album" feature. It's back online, and hopefully, it's going to be nicer and more scalable.

You can still download the full resolution photos of the album, but there have been some changes to the way this feature works:

* You need be logged in to download an album.
* The album archive is no longer generated on the fly, so you'll have to wait for the link to be e-mailed to you when ready.
* Album downloads are cached for 7 days unless the album is updated. The link will expire if the album changes.

Enjoy

New features, missing features, and ads

A number of users have asked us about the "Download Album" link that has gone missing. We understand that this is an important feature, and we intend to bring it back as soon as possible. The problem is that the feature was not implemented in the most efficient way possible, so it has been putting too much load on our servers. We intend to re-implement it to be more efficient.

We've been working on some features on the backend to make things faster and better. We deployed one of these features this morning, but had a small mishap this morning that might have broken the upload functionality for some people. That has been resolved and we are hoping to introduce more and more of these enhancements in the coming weeks.

As you might have noticed, we are now trying Google ads on BubbleShare (again). We tried this before, but Google ads were not giving us relevant information. This time, we are hoping the increased text content on the site might give us better results. Please be patient as we try and make sure we achieve the best level of integration possible... Also feel free to contribute to the content by tagging and captioning your albums, and photos!
