Control panel

[wingsohot]

So, has anyone seen the new control panel yet?

[VOIPoTim]

We committed to opening it up for everyone to see in July and we still have a few more hours. It'll be open for testing before 11:59PM Pacific Time.

It will run side by side with the other one now. Users will just access it at a different URL and can use either/both. Then once it's out of BETA and all bugs are worked out, we'll eventually phase the old one out.

We'll post here on the forums tonight with the info to access it and also there will be a link in the header of the current panel to "try the new panel".

Here's a preview though.

To access the BETA release of the new vPanel, you'll simply use your existing login info at the new panel URL. The initial release is only for residential and small business customers. In the future, we will migrate resellers and cloud/express customers to the new design as well.

Remember, this is a BETA release so there may still be bugs in it and it still will lack some polish. For the time being, both the old and new vPanels will be accessible so if there is a bug in the new one, simply report it and use the old one.

The new vPanel BETA will be accessible at 11:59PM Pacific Time tonight.

It looks wonderful------it's a great improvement, and is much more intuitive.

The one thing I don't like is that one can no longer toggle between a primary number and an add-on number. You now have to log out of one and into the other. I guess I got used to toggling between them on the "old" Vpanel.

All-in-all, I like it.

Rob,

We've placed the toggle back into vPanel 2.0 (residential accounts ONLY). Thanks!

Terrific, Brandon, thanks for the very fast service!

The main reason it was missing was that the new panel isn't available for other account types yet so switching when multiple account types would not work. It looks like Brandon just came up with a solution to exclude other account types from it for the time being so we were able to put it in.

Wonderful------I've tried it, and the panel is perfect, as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks again,

Rob

Thank you! There's still a lot we need to do to it, but we did put a lot of thought into it and try to solve most of the major issues we've heard about from the feedback we've gotten over the years.

I'm very confident that once we add in the finishing touches, it'll be one of the best if not the best control panels offered by a residential-focused VoIP provider.

I've noticed this morning that the ability to toggle between my main number and add-on number has disappeared. Was this an intentional change?

Thanks for the information,

Rob
