I was performing some back end updates to keep everything up-to-date. I wasn't expecting any downtime, but something broke and I had to figure things out. That's why Prosebox was down for a sho...

Happy Mother's Day!

First of all, I removed the line break extension I mentioned in a previous entry. Unfortunately it was breaking HTML tags that span multiple lines (like codes copied from Photobucket). So I'm ...


My fingers are crossed, because the last time I tried adding some Markdown extensions, Prosebox started barfing on really long entries. If you see that behavior, please let me know. I added an ...

Minor adjustment

One of my personal annoyances has been fixed. I combined the main index page and the "Latest Entries" list into the same page. I don't know if that makes any sense, so I'll explain it this way:...

So I suppose...

... that this can stop being a "Beta" website now. It's hard to know when to actually drop that qualifier. I don't feel like I'm done. But hey, I don't see any gargantuan changes to the basic ...

The people have spoken...

It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. I am not a big man. Fletch Lives All right, all right. You don't like the Pseudo-Like button. And I think many of you have valid points. T...


OK, hopefully things are working now. My apologies if you've been getting errors for the last few minutes. So we'll see if this works. This is Phase One of "Kudos" (or likes, or plus ones, o...


In response to the question of whether or not I've patched up the epic Heartbleed vulnerability, why yes I have. Is it a good idea to change your password? ABSOLUTELY. If you haven't heard muc...


First of all, we finally hit that 5,000 user milestone. That's pretty cool! (note that I'm going by the actual number of users with active accounts as listed in the Browse Users section - as far...


As most of you have probably figured out, titles are required on Prosebox. I have noticed that this often causes consternation for several users, with entry titles such as the following appearin...

Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

OK, one more gift from the Late Night Gods: Entry backdating! There's now an optional field to enter a backdate for your entry. If no date is provided, it will just use the current date and ti...

Cleanup on aisle two

Just doing a few style fixes. The one you'll probably notice is that I removed the part where images and videos can expand beyond the normal margin on large displays. It was an interesting expe...

By POPULAR demand...

You can now delete or hide (make private) comments: You left You received to your comment On an entry you wrote There is no time limit; you can delete these comments whenever. There's still ...

As promised...

My hope is that most users, now that they've had a chance to get used to the editor changes, either enjoy the new style or are indifferent to it. However, I know that some people still think it'...


OK, I think people will like my latest site update more than the last one. This one also falls into the "fun" category (hey, I think the new editor is ridiculously fun) - but it also paves the w...


Yes, it has returned. Hopefully it works and is acceptable. (see, I used the toolbar to do the bold and italics - kapow).

Editor, with a twist

All right, let's try out this bad boy!! You will notice that the entry editor has changed, hopefully for the better. I've seen other sites that do it similarly and I really like it. It's a lot...


Oh MAN. Are you reading this? ARE YOU READING THIS? It's kind of a big deal. I've been talking about this for, like, forever. This feature has been on my to-do list from the moment I conce...

No harassment policy

Just a quick entry to warn people that stalking, threats, harassment, impersonation, sharing other's private information, or a general behavior of trolling and insulting behavior is not allowed ...

Busy, busy, busy

Just a quick note to say that while life has been going well, it's also been quite busy. So if you've left me a comment asking a question and haven't received a response, I have not been around ...


Some people might be starting to think that Prosebox is actually Hotel California. You know, you can check out any time you like but... you can NEVER LEAVE. So I've added one of those necessary...

Issues in Europe

I've heard that several people in Europe are not able to connect. This is one of those issues that is out of my control - looks like the DNS I use is having issues with a datacenter in Amsterdam...

Changing your password

Finally got this one done. Now, instead of telling people they can log out and use the Forgot Password link to reset it, there's an actual option under Settings to change your password while log...


Somebody left me a message a while back. I don't remember the comment exactly, but to paraphrase it was something like this: Can we have a pink theme? With lots and lots of pink? These th...

More Entry Page Sweetness

OK, so I think this will be a pleasing update. I'm pretty happy with it. There might be some glitchy things but here's hoping it works for the most part. First of all, and please note that thi...
