Alaska and Ketchikan

Okay, first of all, this build is fairly tiny for how long it took to release. I haven't really been working on the site at all in the past few weeks. Even to this point, I'm not really sure if this build is finished or properly working, but in my opinion it's "good enough."

You'll all probably notice that your notification panel has a nice little "1 new invite!" next to it (admins won't, you have unlimited), click on it to use it. I won't even explain the invite system here because the majority of the work is on the admin-side of things.

Here's a few other changes in this build...

In everyone's profile, the "My Comments" section has been rewritten. It is now much more compact, and you can see that all the text links have been changed to icons. Instead of only showing the user's last 20 comments, it will show their last 5. You can use the "next" and "prev" buttons to go through their entire archive of comments. The address bar changes when you go to a different page of comments, so you can link someone directly to that page to show them a certain page of comments.

Also in profiles: By default, the "My Content" area now only shows articles to save space. You can still view All, Articles, Shouts, and Favorites. There is now a count next to how many items are in that category.

Added HTML 5 elements on some input boxes (only iPhone users will notice. It changes the keypad to match what type of form you're using. Email input boxes will have @ signs and such, url input boxes will have .com and such

Fixed spacing on small userbox, and Admins/Mods will now see new repots next to the key icon.

Removed extra spacing between chat author and message

Fixed +'s in chat box

Full chat page no longer shows the "chat disabled due to inactivity" area all the time

There is now a Sign Off button on the large chat page

Chat box stripes should be fixed

Birthday notifications now can be clicked on to be taken to the user

Invisible logins have been disabled until further notice

Settings page navigation buttons are smaller.

Bug Fix: Linking to a parent comment wouldn't turn it yellow

NOTE: There's a really odd problem with the notification panel and caching so when you check your new invites, the panel might not disappear for at least another 60 seconds. same issue with checking comment replies?

Please report any weird things you notice, especially in the invite system. Hopefully it all works enough for you to bring in some new users. Enjoy!

Dude, this online community is poisonous to creativity and vision just like Ketchikan is. The site rocks, it's just apparently you have to host a petri dish of retards like me in it. It's ironic that if anybody here wants to create something good, their motivation comes from the original shittiness of ketchikan, and if the idea is awesome and practically applicable, et cetera, even then it can't pierce the veil of fail that saturates every official aspect of this community. Point is, this is like inventing penicillin in the middle of being gang raped. This particular environment is insoluble, but as long as you keep going, applying your ideas to the real world will be like jumping in one-fifth earth gravity. You'll get really high.

tldr we suck ass, but don't let it affect your perspective.
Fuck to the yeah, dogg.
