Save a search and hear when a new event matches it, bring your links over from Linktree and similar pages, switch any event email off from the email itself, find people by town in the directory, organisers can change one date of a repeating event, and closing an account is safer and can be undone.
Finding events
Saved searches. Filter the events page by category, words, a town or country, or distance from your home area, then press Save this search. When a new event matches, you get one notification a day at most, and a section in the weekly email if you get it. Three saved searches are free, and Premium holds ten.
The Filters button is there on a computer too, as it already was on a phone, so the list of events starts higher up the page.
Every event card is the same size, so the events pages line up neatly instead of cards ending at different heights.
On a phone, the events calendar's category filters are one row you scroll sideways, so the calendar itself stays on the screen.
Your page
Bring your links over from Linktree, Beacons, bio.link and most other link pages. Paste the page's address under your links on Your page, and Collr shows every link it found, ticked, for you to keep. Links you already have are never added twice.
When you share a profile that has no photo or bio yet, the picture chats show is designed for it: your name large and centred, your community and role under it, in your own colour.
Email
Every event email can be switched off from the email itself. Notices when an event you follow or are going to changes, and reminders before an event, now have a one-click unsubscribe (Gmail shows it as a button beside the sender) and a Stop these emails link. Each switches off only that kind of email, and news that an event was cancelled or postponed still reaches you.
Switching on the weekly “what’s on” email now asks you to confirm from your inbox first, so it only ever goes to somebody who asked for it. If you already get it, nothing changes.
Collr now sends account email, such as sign-up and password resets, itself, and Amazon SES sends the emails that go to many members at once. Mailtrap no longer handles any of it. The privacy policy explains what goes where.
The directory
Filter the community directory by where people are based, alongside the community and role filters.
Directory search finds people better: each word matches the start of a word, and the closest matches come first.
Directory search ignores accents, so a town typed without one still finds the members who wrote it with one, and the other way round.
Organising
A repeating event can skip, move or call off one date without touching the rest of the series. Everyone going is told, and calendar subscriptions show the change.
Repeating events stay in calendar subscriptions for as long as they keep running, instead of dropping out after their first date.
The after-party menu shows a repeating event's real next night, leaving out dates that were skipped, moved or called off.
Your account
Closing your account now asks you to hand on any event page, pack or group you lead alone, or delete it, so nothing is left with nobody to run it.

Closing your main account closes your second account with it, and closing an account removes everything personal, including the events you followed.
Your second account's notifications are its own: switch to it to read them. Your main account tells you when there are unread ones waiting there.
Connecting your account in the Telegram app now asks for your two-factor code if you use one.
Every date and time box on Collr is now Collr's own picker, and a half-typed time is no longer saved as midnight.
Signing in takes you back to the page you were trying to open, even if an old sign-in on your browser had expired.
Nobody can take a handle or display name that reads as Collr or its staff, so a message that looks official is.
Opening the Telegram app on an account that is already linked now says so, and offers a button to sign in, instead of saying you are in.
Easier to read
Light mode is readable everywhere on Collr's own pages, including the sign-in and contact pages, and badges have label colours that read on a light background.
The Collr logo in the header is a named link in light mode too, for screen readers.
And
The hidden things on Collr can now be found on a phone too, not only with a keyboard.
