A closed area for the testers of my audio plugins. Builds, feedback and known bugs end up here instead of in lots of separate emails.

Threads instead of an email flood
Every topic has its own thread. New posts are announced by email, with a subscription per thread. Finished topics move to the archive and can still be read.
Everything a bug report needs
Posts with Markdown, attachments and reactions. Each name shows the tester’s system and DAW, so a bug can be placed right away. From any post I can write to the tester directly.
Writing with a preview
The text on the left, on the right how it will look. Images can be dragged straight in or pasted from the clipboard.
Invitations
Invitation links with an expiry date and a limited number of uses. I approve every sign-up myself.
Broadcast
One message to all testers, with a test email first and a history of earlier broadcasts.
Credits
Testers appear with their name and studio in the plugin credits. Anyone who would rather not can untick it in their profile.
emails
Who gets an email, and when.
Every tester chooses which threads to follow and can unsubscribe from any of them with one click. All emails go through the same frame as the support emails and newsletter of Ohlhorst Digital.
