The “sticky header” on the beta site (stays at the top as you scroll on a desktop) seems to be causing issues for a few users (Edge, IE - possibly others). In my experience, while cool, these th...

Definitely a Milestone

For those of you who have been here for a while, you may remember when I used to do milestone entries like, “Hey, we just hit 500 users!” “Hey, we just passed the thousand user mark!” This was ...

Beta fixed

It’s up and running, and the problem with registering for a new account through the beta site has been fixed as well. Just to clarify, the beta site isn’t just a test sandbox. It’s a real functi...

Taking the beta site down

Won’t be down for long, but if you’re using it please switch to prosebox.net. Thanks!

Beta Update

For those enjoying the beta side of things, I’ve added a couple of improvements: My Latest Entry is back Personalization shows up in the user profile, book, entry, and New/Edit entry (but only o...


Feedback seems mostly positive thus far, so why not open the flood gates? prosebox.com If you want to check out the next phase of Prosebox, welcome aboard. It’s still a work in progress, so plea...

Server Maintenance

This one will be quick. I’ve got to apply some security patches - don’t expect much down time but it could interrupt you if you’re on the system right now. Thanks. UPDATE: Got delayed, going to...


I will be taking down the database for maintenance in about 20 minutes, or about 10:15 Mountain Time. I don’t expect it to be down for a really long time but it could be a bit longer than the us...

Rogue Facebook group

When Prosebox was first starting up, one of our members started a community group on Facebook which has gained a good number of members. It was never directly affiliated with the site or me but ...

I Am Your Leader

Dear Prosebox Friends and Family, After much deliberation over my cup of coffee this morning, I have decided that my former moniker simple mind does not really convey the strength of character ne...

Wiki, alive once again.

My apologies for letting it expire. A couple of people pointed it out to me while I was buried underneath a pile of skulls within the darkest depths of Mordor. I finally escaped1, relatively un...


So I’ve heard some rumblings about Easy Diary coming to an end. If you wrote there and are moving here, welcome! I hope you like it. Wow, it’s been two years since I’ve said anything like that...

Happy Holidays!

Wow, only nine days until Christmas. This year is slipping away quickly. Where did that first half of December go? Wasn’t it, like, (American) Thanksgiving last week? I do remember mentionin...

Gentle Reminder

If you blatantly break the rules of the site (e.g. copying content from someone else’s blog without permission), I will try to get in touch with you to resolve the situation as smoothly as possib...


Just a heads up that I’m aware of the issue, should have that working again later tonight. Will update when it’s back up and running.

Server maintenance

Just a heads up, there is scheduled maintenance today on the Prosebox server (the company that hosts it). It is scheduled to start in about a half hour from now (9/11, 1:30PM MT) and go for abou...


Site went down earlier briefly, not sure what happened. But as long as I’m checking things out, I’ll do some quick updates. Probably won’t interrupt the site at all, but just in case - will be ...

Teaser Trailer

A while back I hinted about changes to the site involving a massive design change. I believe there was also an entry warning you that you might wake up one morning and see a totally different si...

Video ads

I’ve been getting a lot of complaints about video ads. It was never my intention to bombard you with those. Advertising seems to become more aggressive when you let it go unchecked. Anyway, sinc...


Will probably restart the database, hiccup possible. In 3… 2… 1… UPDATE And… we have a happy server.

Wiki is back

Another community member who helped out on the wiki has graciously passed the torch to me. So the wiki subscription is renewed, and the Prosebox FAQ is once again available. :) I’ll probably in...

Expired Wiki, you say?

I’ve been busy and backlogged on PB stuff, but I wanted to mention that I’m aware of the expired wiki. It was put together mostly by one awesomely dedicated community member. I don’t think she’...

Youtube problems

People have been reporting some Youtube embedding issues. I’m pretty sure it’s not actually related to the recent change I made. So I’m changing something else that I think is the culprit. If y...

A real update! Holy wow.

OK, so I’ve fixed some rather nefarious behavior and added one minor feature… First, the fix. The book save behavior was not working as it should, particularly for people who like to use differe...

Reminder

Hey folks. Life’s been a little crazy and I haven’t had time to respond on here like I usually do. There’s a couple of things I want to mention really quick. Please verify your email address ...

A place to keep users updated on what I fix on the site as well as new/improved features.
