Latest entries improvement

Greetings and good evening! I've added a Latest Entries page which allows you to page back through the latest entries on the site. As with the listing on the front page, it will only show a use...

Bookmarks by user

It's been requested many, many times. And now you have it: bookmarks showing only the latest entries of each user you have bookmarked. Just look for "Bookmarks by user" in the menu. Enjoy. :)...


In a few minutes I'm taking down Prosebox to quickly run a database script. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. Will update this when complete. UPDATE: Done! Thank you and carry on....

2,000 and Dark theme tweaks

Yay, we have over 2,000 users! How cool is that? Also, I'm still tweaking the Dark theme. I've tried to soften the colors a bit more for people with sensitive eyes. Plus it's less eye strain ...

Due to popular demand...

The new Dark theme is now available to everyone! Just visit your Settings page (you know, that screen that allows you to change your icon and display name), and you'll notice some fun new stuff....


I'm looking for a few beta testers to join me on the Dark Side. I've created a new "Dark" theme for Prosebox and need some adventurous souls to help me try it out. Just a few people to start, p...

Comment DELETION!

This one's been a monkey on my back for a while now. I'm very pleased to say that if you are the entry owner, you now have the power to delete comments on the entry! And if you act now, I'll th...

Aaaaaaaggghhh! Google!!

I've noticed some recent concern about Google indexing public site content. (I, for one, welcome our not-so-new search overlords) To address this concern, I've created a robots.txt file. My un...

I'm like a database ARTIST

Holy crap, that was an adventure! First of all, I had to create a temporal warp. You may have seen this on Star Trek. I had to knock the entire crew unconscious, except for Data, of course. B...


I'm taking the site down for maintenance in about 15 minutes or so. Shouldn't be down for too long.


To all the very patient and kind people who commented on my last entry, thank you. It's nice to know that the torches and pitchforks aren't coming out yet. :) OK, so this was kind of a crazy d...

First major snafu

I apologize for the first major database collapse on Prosebox. I pulled from a snapshot early today but several hours today were lost. Again, I'm sorry. Good news is the site is back up and ho...


I wrote an entry not long ago asking for suggestions on ways to help grow the community. From feedback, I gathered that a lot of people would NOT want public bookmarks as the default. Which I t...

I changed my mind

No Facebook like button. Especially now that I've added the following mission statement to the front page (pre-login): Create. Share. Anonymously. FB is not anonymous and I don't want to sen...


It's on here. Like it or lump it. EDIT: Granted, being a smaller community FB isn't the greatest option if you place a high value on anonymity. If it was huge and you were just one in thousand...


Shiny new feature!!!! (yeah, I have no life on Friday nights) You now have a new page very much like the comments screen you had, but showing your sent comments rather than comments received. N...

Entry page feng shui

Just doing some remodeling of the entry page. There's a lovely side menu now on larger displays, and rearranged ads. One day there will be an option to remove those pesky ads... but for now it ...


A couple of small updates worth mentioning... Assuming you are using a modern device with Javascript enabled, it shouldn't be possible to double-post the same comment by clicking the button mul...


I briefly screwed up the entry editor fairly royally by not filtering it properly by user... so sorry about that if you're on the site and trying to write an entry. Should be fixed now. Anyway,...


I upgrade. And upgrade some more, until my armor is gold-encrusted diamonds, shooting off rainbow beams of fire and ice. Uhhhh... where was I? Oh yes! Upgrading. I decided to start the rathe...

More back, less cancel

Couple of minor changes, I've added a Back to top link in the footer. Also, to make it less convenient to shoot yourself in the foot, I've removed the Cancel button entirely from the edit entry ...


https://www.facebook.com/prosebox Oh yes, it's all official and stuff. I'll put updates on there as well since most of my updates get lost in the shuffle on here. And thanks again to Della Min...

Diversity of latest entries

The latest entries will now never list the same user twice at any given time. It will only pull the latest entries of unique users. Have a lovely weekend! Prosecrest out.

Minor but cool update

I've added Latest Entry information to a user's box page. This will give you a direct link to the latest entry you have access to for that user. Sweet.

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
