Private Chats Update

As we try to modernise OD, some of you may have experienced an issue with chat notifications over the last two days.

We have just completed a major database clean-up and merged the old mail system into private chats. This caused some of the old mail chats to send you notifications and old hidden mail messages to reappear.

The issue has now been corrected and your chat history is correctly restored. If you have any issues or concerns, reach out to us at support@outdoorduo.com

Thank you for everyone's patience as we work to launch the new mobile and desktop experience soon.

We always appreciate any feedback or feature requests, please do send them.

Kyle

I’d like a Back button (from my iPad). When I look at an invite and click on the organiser’s profile I can’t go back to the invite. I have to start a fresh using the Invitations tab then find the invite.

Thanks Jacqui, that's a great suggestion! We're working on improving the navigation at the moment, and a simple way to get back to the invite definitely makes sense. I've added it to the list 😊
Really appreciate you sharing ideas like this with us.

This was completely my oversight as a desktop user! The mobile version was broken, but I've just fixed it (no new software or desktop tricks needed). If you want to receive an email notification for each new message you can adjust that here - https://outdoorduo.co.uk/myprofile/contactpreferences.php

I've found turning your phone to landscape or requesting desktop mode allows you to see the messages..

I’m using Apple’s software.

Thanks but I'm afraid that doesn't work and I wouldn't want to put my phone on landscape just to go on Outdoor Duo anyway.

Hi Kyle, I still can't open any of my private chats so I've not been able to read or reply to the messages I've received in the last couple of days.

Me neither. Always worked on phone before
