There have been a lot of new features and important updates in April.
Important
As of April 10, 2017 Metro Publisher's default contact form has been removed.
Previously, all Metro Publisher sites included a simple contact form that could collect basic information from users.
The form could be found at this URL:
http://yoursite.metropublisher.net/contact.html
Unfortunately, recent and persistent attempts by spammers to hijack these forms has forced us to deprecate them permanently.
Luckily, there are several free options with third party services that allow you to build custom forms for the same purpose. These services are specialized and offer more freedom and security for embedding forms on your website.
