1. A bug preventing the embedding of iframe tags in the new Content Editor has been corrected.
2. In Navigation Editor, users will note a message now confirms a change to settings, and validation of URL entries for formatting is now in place.

1. The management of Featured Properties has been simplified for Birdview Office Websites, eliminating much of the guesswork as to which listings were eligible for selection.  Administrators can now choose the relevant property types, a price range suitable for the local market, and, when appropriate, the duration in which either a price change or new listing is considered "current" and thus should be featured.
2. An issue where Navigation Editor in Web Assistant was failing in Chrome, Firefox, and IE-compatibility mode has been corrected.

June 11, 2014

1. For agents using the CWS Mobile Website solution: a problem with the full site-to-mobile site redirect for agents with an apostrophe in the last name has been corrected
2. Open Graph tags have been updated on property detail pages, allowing "shares" on Facebook to select the correct photograph and property metadata
