Alaska and Ketchikan

Another all-nighter with a bunch of changes... Most of them were back-end (technical stuff), but here's some changes you may notice!


Added four new themes! Dandelion (Yellow), Ink (Black), Ribbon (Pink), and Simplistic (White with black borders)

Plum (theme) is now actually purple (was very pink)

Your userbox will now show how many drafts you have. If you were a victim of the apostrophe bug you might have a few you didn't know about...

Fixed a bug where when an admin would view an article it would cache the comments with the "delete comment" icon. Don't worry, the button was there but you still need Admin powers to do anything, no harm done.

If you have the "highlight my content" setting enabled, you will now notice rounded corners. (Remember all rounded corners are for Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Internet Explorer and Opera do not support these)

Apostrophes no longer show up as ' in snippets. This doesn't count for the old snippets though, they'll stay broken.

Redesigned the "Article Posted" box. You are now also redirected to the very top of the page instead of just to the userbox.

The "Empty Trash" button now works in the inbox!

Comment replies were backwards

Comment system redesigned!

Deleted comments are no longer removed, you will now see a - Comment deleted by *StaffName* in place of where the comment was

When you focus on the textarea when writing an article the HTML Info box will appear on the bottom right side of it. This replaces the dialog box.

[Bug 11] Fixed this bug which showed you posting comments as a different person on some articles

Favoriting articles is faster!

The HTML Enabled dialog was disabled on posting comments for some reason.

The report system has been revamped! All users are now able to report comments, articles, and shouts. When you click the report button it will ask you why you are reporting the content. If that item has already been reported, it will add your report to the list. Items with more reports are shown first to Administrators and Moderators.

If a report was "dismissed", meaning the Admin/Mod found nothing wrong with it, nobody will be allowed to report on that content again.

The report button for comments is shown when you "thumbs down" a comment

Fixed the sticky note feature

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 0.9.04081: As a quick update I made some changes to the design


Ink's shouts are brighter (seriously check out this theme for you people that browse the internet in the dark)

The darker themes that have colored backgrounds will now have the color in the full background on larger screens (was white)

The header and footer are now rounded. It adds a really nice look if you have a higher resolution. Smaller resolutions will show a slight rounding on both. This seems to remove the last of the sharp edges on the whole main page... Maybe even the whole site?

-------------------------------------

Known bug: It has come to my attention that when a user caches a page, it also caches their thumbs up/down status. This will be fixed in a later build

HEY! READ THIS!
I've begun sending out the first wave of Staff positions. Some of you may notice your name being red or green now. HINT: Your name probably won't be red. You can check the Staff page (i love that simple BBCODE URL we're capable of using on this site, hint.) to see who all made the list. If you didn't, don't worry, it's just the first wave, mainly people I know very very well.
---- Enjoy!

Your website should have a 'mahogany' theme, so it can give me even more wood.

ahaha, that one made me laugh. A wood theme wouldn't even be hard (no pun intended), it'd just be weird... Maybe.
Wood it give me a daily douse of fiber?
Not fiber, but probably some protein if you know what I mean.
Lots of things were fixed. Progress is definitely moving dude.
