TabSite Contest Updates

We added another style feature so that users can colorize the thumbnail image area to a color of their choice.  This setting impacts all the frames around the thumbnail view of each entry in your contest.

We also enhanced our security features to give you more control on how you want to guard the integrity of voting and entering.

Security:

By default voters have to accept Facebook permissions of the contest app in order to vote.  This enables you to know who they are and to limit their voting if you have vote limits set.

New: Now you can opt to also enable “Allow only Verified Facebook Accounts” to vote.  This means Facebook users that have went through the mobile verification process to prove they are a real user and not a dummy account.   This helps guard against people buying votes from services that have hundreds of dummy Facebook profiles.

New: If you prefer not to use Facebook App permissions, we allow you to set security to IP Address.  This means that users do not get the Facebook permissions request they must accept.  Instead, voting is tracked by IP address.  Vote buyers perform their voting from the same IP so this blocks them from cheating.  At the same time, be aware, that if a office team uses the same Internet Service, only one person in the office could vote as this feature would see the same IP Address trying to vote and limit that.

These security options give Page Admins greater flexibility to set security according to their preferences!
