Clicky Supersize XL Extreme edition
I've been wanting to make Clicky take advantage of larger screens for a long time but there were a lot of challenges involved beyond just changing the width of the site container. (I know that sounds pretty lame but just trust me).
But after last week's release of our new Segments feature, it was clear this needed to be the next major project. Segments are great, but they take up a lot of horizontal space which really crippled a few reports. For example, the Links (referrers) report:
-
New feature: Segments!
It's been a while but the wait was worth it! (Yes, we're still here!)
Segments has been in demand FOR. EVER. and we could not be more excited to finally offer this to you. Think of it as the one-off segmentation we already offer, but integrated into nearly every report automatically and with almost no impact on speed. You can also sort the reports by any of these new columns. It's pretty nice!

Change your trend preference on demand from any report
When we revamped and centralized our UI preferences in October, our goal was to simplify things, particularly for new users. There was one change that a good number of power users didn't like though, that change being that the same trend preference didn't always make sense for all of their sites and/or dashboards. Previously the trend was a dashboard preference, and each dashboard is tied to a specific site, so for some power users the old set up was better.
To address this complaint, we've added a new trend menu in the top right corner that allows you change your trend preference on demand.

HTTPS for all
As HTTPS becomes more and more common for even just the simplest of blogs, we've decided to allow the tracking of HTTPS sites for all customers, including free customers and those on our grandfathered "Starter" plan.
clicky.com is now also available over a secured HTTPS connection for all customers. Previously we only offered this to paying customers. One of the main reasons for this was that our advertising company, buysellads.com, didn't support ads being displayed over HTTPS. We offset the cost of offering free service by the revenue we make from our ads, so we had no choice in this department. BSA just pushed out HTTPS (on top of its existing IPsec support, which is similar but a bit different) so now clicky.com is available via HTTPS to all customers, paying or not.

Favorite sites
For those of you with multiple sites in your account, chances are there are a few sites that are lot more important to you than the rest. Now you can make sure these sites are always at the top of your user homepage for quick access, on both the desktop and mobile versions of Clicky.
Flagging a site as a favorite works just like the other reports. Click the star and presto, it's a favorite. Click it again and it's no longer a favorite. If you need a moment to pick your jaw up off the floor, please take it.
