New Login Portal!
We've launched a new login portal! Thanks to all who gave us feedback, we've done our best to include your suggestions in the new login page. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Below are shots of the default and personalized pages. It's much cleaner and easier to understand then then our old page. We've got a mobile page coming soon too!

So... the "Personalized" page is essentially the same as the old "Default" page. And "personalization" consists of signing up with a couple of Fon's "partners" to embed a video and picture, a link to a "free" URL, and a very very tiny message squashed down out of sight. Wow. How revolutionary.
At least the new "Default" page is lightweight.
You realize, that most people will choose to use the "Default" page now, which gives Fon the pretense to conclude that "customization" is low on Fonero's list of priorities. Just as the short, poor list of options has done so in the past.
I think its great that Fon updated the login portal (its simple and easy to understand), but the customization options are still horrible. When will we ever see better personalization options?
Hi,
kind of boring, the old page had more character.
The new page does not display my picture anymore. I'm not on flickr so I typed the address for my picture in the box 'Flickr Photo URL:'

This worked with the old portal.

As a new Fonero, this has been frustrating.
I want the default login screen without personalisation. However, by default, I get Martin's personalisation, and it seems the only way to get rid of it is to create my own Flikr and YouTube content.
All I want is this:

At this time we show Martin's video by default on all pages unless you personalize it. I will take your feedback to the team though.
Martin,
Why do we have to include a movie and a picture? I don't want that. I want to personalize it, just a link to my website or so and a small message, iot sufficient. The picture and the movie draws away attention from that...
And, uhh, the website that's entered can be visited for free, right? So, just say that! "Visit my favourite site for free: "
Cheers,
Rowdy
