Site Updates and Features
Got some good news after the last 2 disasters. I've just released some site updates, the changes are:
- Email notification for comments. When someone comments on one of your pictures you will be sent an email letting you know. You can enable or disable this feature in your profile by clicking "Send me email when someone comments on my pictures" on or off.
- Better mature pic handling. Previously if you accidentally marked a picture as mature you could not remove the mark. I did this for two reasons, firstly I needed a way to enforce some kind of standard, I didn't want to mark something as mature and then have a user remove that mark, I use to get a lot of complaints on some of the more racy pictures. Secondly some of my advertisers do not allow their ads to be placed next to nudity or other content of a mature nature. I use the mature picture mark to decide which ad to show, if people removed the mature mark on a picture containing nudity then the income that keeps the site going is in danger. Anyway, with the update you can remove the mature mark on a picture, I added in a 2nd mature mark just for moderators, so they can override the users mark if needed.
- Login redirects. I've changed the way login works so that the first screen you see after login is the same as the page you came from. So if you try to post a comment if you are not logged in you will be presented with a login box, once you enter you details you will go straight to the picture comment page. Under the old system you were sent to the generic login confirmation, then you had to search around to find the picture you were trying to comment on again, or whatever else you were trying to do.
- Edit anywhere. I've consolidated the way the gallery, user pictures and profile picture previews are shown, so now if you have the permissions to edit a picture, i.e you are the owner or a moderator, you will see the "edit, delete, stats" controls wherever you see the picture, you don't have to go to "my pictures" to edit pictures anymore.
- Mature pic labels - If you enable mature pictures in your profile you will see mature pictures labeled as such in gallery, user pictures ans profile preview views.
- Internal changes. I've made a bunch of other internal changes that you probably won't notice, things like security fixes, code cleanup and data restructuring
Let me know if you run into any problems, as always there are more changes in the pipeline.
