This issue with photo upload should now be resolved.  This also affected update delays for the display of listing changes on Android devices in the Flexmls Pro app.  This Android delay should also now be resolved. If you are still experiencing issues uploading listing photos, please empty your cache and try again.  If the problem persists, please contact technical support.

Original Issue Reported May 9, 2016:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Starting at around 11am today, we have noticed some issues with the photo upload ability within the Flexmls system. When attempting to use the photo uploader, it’s very likely that you’ll either receive an error message on the photo uploading process, or, if you are able to load a photo, you’ll get items that display like below:

At this time, if you are seeing the errors messages or blank photos as seen above, there is nothing you are doing incorrectly. This issue is affecting all users of the MLS system. At this time, we do not have an work around and our advice is to hold off on using the uploader until we provide further details.

This post was added recently as our MLS vendor, FBS, has confirmed the issue and is currently working towards a fix. At this time, they did not provide us with an ETA as to when the issues would be resolved. When we find out more, we will update this post.

The Showing Start Date field has been added to the top of public and private reports in the MLS.  It was added to the Full Report (1 page), Full 2-page report, and Brief with Photos report.  The field appears directly below the List Price/Original List Price fields at the top right corner of these reports.  Previously, the field was displayed only at the bottom of the private reports.

The Board of Directors felt this was a high priority change since the Showing Start Date directly impacts buyers.  They felt the field should be made much more prominent so that the buyers were aware of this critical field.   Please make sure your clients know about Showing Start Date and that they will not be able to enter the property until the Showing Start Date passes.

On May 4, users will be able to decide what happens when their client clicks a link in subscription email.  The link can go to the news feed as it does now (this will remain the default), only the listings in the email that was clicked, or all of the listings that match the saved search. In addition to this, the Portal menu design will change to allow easier access to the user’s saved searches.

Users Can Customize Their Portal Preferences
There is a new Portal Preference: Listing links from email show: This setting determines what happens when a recipient clicks a listing link in a subscription email. By default, it is set to the MLS Default option (the option also tells you what the MLS Default is).

If you would like to change where subscription links open, go to Preferences > Portal Preferences and choose one of the other available options:

• News Feed – Subscription links will open in the recipient’s news feed showing the selected listing. As before, the news feed contains up to 200 of the most recent listings your contact has received from their subscriptions. Your contact can use the menu to navigate to their Searches, Saved Listings, Custom Collections, and more.
• Emailed Listings – Subscription links will open showing only the listings in the recipient’s subscription email. If it is an ASAP subscription, there will not be a List tab as there is only one listing to view. Your contact can use the menu to navigate to their News Feed, Saved Searches, Saved Listings, Custom Collections, and more.

·  Saved Searches – Subscription links will open to the selected listing within the Saved Search that generated the email. Your contact can use the menu to navigate to their News Feed, different Saved Searches, Saved Listings, Custom Collections, and more.
Please Note: If you set a Portal Preference other than the MLS Default, it will become the default for all of your contacts.

Set the Subscription Landing Page for a Specific Contact
To set the subscription email landing page for specific contacts, go to Contact Management, select a contact, and click the Portal tab. Select Change Settings and then set the Listing links from email show: option.

Please Note: This selection applies to the selected contact only and takes precedence over your general Portal Preference setting.

Preview Mode and the Subscription Landing Page
If you set a contact’s subscription Preview Mode to On, the recipient will always go directly to News Feed when they click an email link to view approved listings regardless of what Listing links from email show is set to for the user or in your Portal Preferences.

Updated Portal Menu Design
The order of the Portal Menu items will change to allow easier access to the searches saved for the portal user. The News Feed will stay at the top, the next section will contain all the contact’s available searches (and a New Search link for Flexmls IDX subscribers), and the last section will contain Listing Collections (Saved, Hidden, Recommended, and custom collections), manually emailed listings, and any reports sent to the contact via Flexmls. Previously, Listing Collections appeared above Saved Searches in the Menu.

Please note: Only the order of the menu items is changing; labels and custom collections will remain the same. This design change applies to all MLSs, regardless of what the preference User can set their contacts’ subscription emails to open in the news feed, emailed listings or saved search is set to.

On April 26, the Flexmls system will begin using new security (SSL) certificates. This upgrade is necessary because all major browsers are already, or soon will be, restricting access to sites that don’t use SHA-2 certificates. You can read more about this issue here and here.

Click here to test your browser’s compatility with SHA-2:

http://www.flexmls.com/securitytest

Please test each computer and browser you use to access the Flexmls system.  Different browsers on the same computer or different computers running the same browser need to be tested independently.

How will this affect users?
Users who already have up-to-date browsers and computers (or phones, tablets, and other devices) should not even notice this change. Users with older browsers may have problems accessing the Flexmls system.

What if my browser fails and is not compatible?
If the test page says Fail, your browser or computer will need to be upgraded to a version that supports SHA-2. You can find compatibility charts at the following web sites:
https://support.globalsign.com/customer/portal/art…/1499561-sha-256-compatibility
https://www.digicert.com/sha-2-compatibility.htm

Once the computer and browser have been updated to the most recent version, check the test page again and you should pass.

On April 25, Flexmls Pro version 2.1.0 for Android will be released and available in the Google Play Store. The latest version will include the ability to mark all messages as having been read, the ability to change the price and expiration date for your listings, clickable phone numbers, and more.

Mark All Messages as Read
When viewing your messages, you can now mark all messages as having been read. To mark all messages as having been read from the More screen, tap Messages. Then select the READ ALL option at the top of the screen.

If you select YES, all of your current messages will be marked as having been read. The next time you tap READ ALL when checking your messages, you will receive the same confirmation dialogue box.

If you select YES, DON’T ASK AGAIN, all of your current messages will be marked as having been read, and the next time you tap READ ALL when checking your messages, you will not receive a confirmation dialogue. Instead, all messages will automatically be marked as read.

To cancel, tap the screen anywhere outside of the confirmation dialogue box.

To refresh your messages, tap the screen and pull down.

Listing Maintenance: Price Change and Expiration Date
Change the Price or Expiration Date for listings that you have permission to edit by going to the More tab and tapping My Listings. Select one of your listings and tap EDIT, then tap the Price or Expiration Date in order to edit the field.

Interactive Phone Numbers on Detail Screen
When viewing listing details, all phone numbers will be clickable. Currently Agent and Office phone numbers are interactive, but now other fields that contain phone numbers will be interactive as well (Owner Phone, HOA Contact, numbers embedded in Agent Only Remarks, etc.). Tap on a phone number to bring up the options available on your mobile device such as calling the number, texting the number, or saving the number to a contact.

Other Changes
In addition to the changes listed above, Flexmls Pro 2.1.0 will also contain minor improvements and bug fixes including:

• Improved responsiveness and speed.
• Address Searches will now remember your previous selections for Status and Property Type.
• Improved stability when viewing photos.

FBS will be upgrading our network infrastructure on Thursday, April 14th. The work is scheduled to begin at 5:00AM and should last about an hour. The flexmls system is expected to remain available during this window but there could be intermittent outages or delays as traffic is shifted over to redundant links.
