What's New on Moving Day
Email verification, emails you can actually unsubscribe from, self-serve data export and account deletion, pool chat, player profiles and invite controls.
We just shipped a batch of changes aimed at two things: making sure your account and your data are actually yours to control, and giving your pool somewhere to talk to itself instead of scattering across five different group texts. Here's what's new, for players and commissioners alike.
Pool chat
Every pool page now has a members-only chat: trash talk, side bets, reacting to a Sunday collapse in real time. It's private to your pool - not searchable, not public, even if the pool itself is. Anyone can delete their own message, the owner and co-owners can delete anything, and a report flag on every message reaches the Moving Day team if something crosses a line.
Player profiles
Click any name on a leaderboard and you'll land on their profile: career stats, a trophy case of wins, and every pool you share with them. It's a running record across your whole Moving Day history, not just the pool you're looking at - good for settling exactly who's allowed to talk trash.
More control over invites
A new Members Can Invite setting lets a commissioner decide whether every member can see and share the pool's invite code, or just the owner and any co-owners. Default is on - the group text keeps growing on its own. Running something tighter, like an office pool where you want to approve who gets in? Flip it off in the pool's settings.
Email verification
New accounts now confirm their email address before signing in - a link sent at signup, with a resend button waiting right on the login page if it doesn't show up. It's a small extra step that keeps invites, results, and reminders landing in an inbox someone's actually reading.
On-brand emails, and an easy way out
Every update email (results, deadlines, a broadcast from your commissioner) now carries a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom - no digging through settings required. Want to be more precise about it instead of turning everything off? Settings still has a full grid of per-type toggles for email, in-app, and push notifications, so you can keep draft-turn alerts and drop round recaps, or whatever mix actually works for you.
Your data, on demand
Settings → Your Data now has a one-click JSON export of everything Moving Day holds about you, and self-serve account deletion - no support ticket needed for either one. Deletion is intentionally hard to trigger by accident (a typed confirmation, your password if you have one), and if you own a pool, you'll transfer or delete it first so your group isn't left without a commissioner.
A leaderboard that shows its work
The live leaderboard picked up some polish too: scores animate as they change instead of just snapping to a new number, skeleton loading instead of a blank screen, and a few small celebration moments when your team makes a move. And when you share a leaderboard link into a group chat, it now unfurls as a standings-card image instead of a bare URL - so the drop actually shows who's making their move on Moving Day.
