We just released an important update to threadsy which improves stability, performance, and usability.

Bug fixes
A long list. Many of them you reported in our feedback forum on GetSatisfaction, thanks for your help. We’ll update all of the related forum topics to let you know which issues we’ve fixed. Of note is significant improvement with the Facebook disconnecting threadsy issue, the top reported bug. Now if Facebook ever drops the threadsy connection, threadsy will try to automatically reconnect. In our testing we’ve seen this solves the issue most of the time. If it doesn’t auto reconnect, click this button at the top right to reconnect:

Speedier
We added some significant performance improvements to initial loading, opening email messages, and replying. We plan to continue improving performance going forward; we’re already working on our next batch of performance tweaks.

UI improvements
Based on some of your suggestions we rolled out a few changes:

• When you open an email message, the action icons are now always conveniently visible at the top.

• After you quick reply to an email or @mention to a tweet, the original message is now marked as read.
• When composing a new email message, your accounts in the ‘From’ dropdown now show the nickname of the account, not the username of the account. To change an account nickname, go to ‘settings’ and click ‘rename’ for the account you want to rename.
• Changes to the multi-action buttons in the top navigation: there’s now one button for both mark read and mark unread. The button changes depending on the status of the checked messages. We’ve also dimmed some action buttons when there are no checkboxes selected.
