Advanced Transferr: Toggle List View and Icon View

Did you know that you can switch between icon view and list view (as seen on iPhone) on your Transferr page? Click the two links below to add an icon for List View and an icon for Icon View to your personal page, you can simple click each icon/link to switch between views.

List view is useful when viewing long lists of icons that you have saved to your account. Remember to add both links or you won't be able to switch back!

Add Icon view to my Transferr Icons and Add List view to my Transferr Icons.

Transferr for iPhone (Other phones as-well)

Transferr now has a mobile site (iPhone site) which is optimised for use on EDGE or 3G networks and is also very dear to those of you with such limited data, wherever you may be!

Simply visit Transferr.com in your mobile browser and you'll be able to use our new mobile site, you can also add the site to your Homescreen on your iPhone, for quick access to your bookmarks.

Email links to a Friend

You can now email Transferr users and non-users alike right from Transferr's options box to share an icon. Users can enter an email address and send a shared link to that address. Emails contain both a direct link and a TrURL so users can add that link to their Transferr icons straight away, try it out now!

Transferr 1.1 Updates

Just a note about our new site updates, we've got a new 'Manage Tabs' design which helps keep your tabs separate from your 'Manage Tabs'. We've also changed the backgrounds for large boxes of text to improve readability for some users.

Arnos Grove update

A small update was today made live on Transferr - Arnos Grove version 1.1. This update contained a few alterations to the site design and some minor bug fixes. Hopefully it will make some of the text around the site easier to read and improve the user experience.

Love it? Hate it? Let us know - post a comment, or email us.

Our Bookmarklet awaits!

Don't forget to install your Bookmarklet for use with Transferr, it's really easy to add and it works like a treat.

To use it, just drag the appropriate image on the Tools page (or right click it in IE and some browsers) to your Bookmarks bar in your web-browser.

Add the image to your bookmarks.

Visit any web-page, if you like it all you need to do is click the 'Add to Transferr' link in your browser bookmarks bar, and Transferr will add that site to your icons page. You can then add a title and choose a color and tab for your icon.

This is really cool for browsing the web because previously you had to visit Transferr whenever you wanted to add a link, now you can add the icon in only a few steps and keep browsing straight away...

Enjoy!

Advertising on Transferr

You may have noticed that every options popup on Transferr now has a Google ad at the bottom of them, and I think now is the time to explain why we felt we needed to advertise.

As with any business, there are certain costs involed in running the site, while ours are currently low, it is forseeable that in the future we may require funds to pursue future developement or to pay for running costs (like bandwidth and server upgrades for example).

We are also both spending a considerable amount of time developing Transferr, and at the end of the day it would be nice to get some reward for all our hard work. We're not expecting to become millionares overnight, but a small amount of funding from advertising would be a welcome reward.

We are very concerned with advertising affecting the look and feel of the site, so we've tried to make them as subtle and unobtrusive as possible (while still making them visible often), we think that the popup is the perfect location for advertising.

On another note, today I discovered that the adsense referrals run by Google will be discontinued at the end of August, referrals is the system we currently use on Transferr.com, so we are expected to remove the advertising from our site before that date. We are looking at alternative options, but there may be a lack of advertising for a while.

Icon creation delays

There will be some delays in creating icons for sites, while we upgrade our icon images for the new site, Arnos Grove 1.0b. Icons which are added in the next few days will take up to 24 hours for a screenshot to appear, please be patient while we upgrade the site. Some icons which have experienced issues with the icon creation service (namely have big black boxes over the sceenshot) will be fixed soon, again we ask for your patience.

Arnos Grove updates may look really weird if you don't refresh your browser, or clear your web-browsers cache, if the site looks broken then you may need to do this...

Edit: Icons are finished for the most part!
