Weekly Patch - September 20, 2026

Fixes

Signup & Community Setup

New signups no longer land on a blank template community

What we fixed: A new self-serve signup could end up on a site that technically loaded but showed a sign-in page reading "Sign in to Template Community." No community name, no primary contact, no way in. Behind the scenes, a routine post-release license sync was flipping unclaimed community slots to active before the signup had a chance to set them up, so setup got refused. We've stopped that sync from touching unclaimed slots, and we've added a second safeguard so only a genuine, successful setup can mark a community active.

See it in action:

  1. Complete a new signup at signup.centercode.com.
  2. Wait for the signup site to hand you off to your new community.
  3. Open the domain you requested. You should see your community name, not "Template Community," and the primary contact can sign right in with their access key. 🎉

Good to know: This one mostly bit signups that happened shortly after a release went out. If a brand new site ever came up looking empty or wrong, this was very likely the cause. Any community slots already sitting in that state have been cleaned up as part of the fix.

Onboarding/Recruiting

Candidate list uploads with a + in the filename now import fine

What we fixed: Uploading a candidate list to an email-list recruitment invitation would spin forever on Preparing invitations if the file's name happened to contain a + character. No error, no warning, just an endless loader. Renaming the file made it work, but nothing hinted at that. Filenames with a + now import normally.

See it in action:

  1. Open a recruitment with an email-list invitation source.
  2. Add a new invitation and choose the upload option.
  3. Upload a candidate file with a + in the name. Something like tide+list.csv works nicely for this.
  4. Watch it sail right past Preparing invitations and finish like any other import. No renaming required. ✅

Good to know: We also made stalled imports fail visibly rather than looping forever. If an import ever does go sideways for a different reason, you'll get told instead of being left watching a spinner.
