Q&A!

Thanks for all these updates =] The site really is beautiful. Clean, efficient, and the different "books" are awesome. Why thank you, m'dear! Is there a reason I can't resize images in h...

Burning questions

Side note: there is the most crazy thunderstorm going on right now. Can't remember the last time it was so loud and shaking the walls. Guess I'll try to post this before the power goes out or s...

No harm, no foul

I'm afraid my last entry on here may have hurt someone's feelings. I dealt with the situation somewhat passive aggressively when being direct would have been a lot easier. It's easy to rush to ...


Folks, For the sake of the sanity of those people that have you bookmarked, and to avoid monopolizing the entire front page, PLEASE hold off from manually importing your entire history into Pros...

Time, relatively speaking

I was going to add time zones as a settings feature, but then decided that relative time is more interesting anyway. So instead of August 15, 2013 6:32PM, you get: 2 minutes ago Then time zones...

User search?

Yup. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.


While I liked a lot of stuff about the theme I had applied to Prosebox, there were also a lot of little glitchy things I didn't like. I don't think the fonts were behaving inconsistently either....

FRIENDS ONLY!!!!

Sweet mother of sweetness, it's here! The much-wanted Friends Only privacy setting! This is set at the book level, along with the other privacy levels and will affect any entries under the book...

Privacy, Part 1.5

So this Friends Only thing is really close. In fact, you might even notice an extra button on peoples' boxes that wasn't there earlier. So if you want to start adding friends to your list, the ...

Tinkering, breaking things

I broke the Bookmarks button on the entry page and it was generating several errors. If you were trying to bookmark someone and it failed, should be OK now.

Login problem fixed

After having a couple of complaints from people unable to log in after resetting their passwords, I realized that the email user name was case sensitive. I think it's gone unnoticed because peop...


As the title suggests, I fixed it so Members Only entries are listed on the main page, but only if you have an account and are logged in. I've had a few people mention that. If you're still fee...

It's Official!

1,000 Yeahhhhhhhhhhh! And yeah, that user search feature is becoming quite important. It's a lot of people to sort through. Don't worry, it's at the top of the list. http://www.youtube.com/w...


Definitely tomorrow (if not tonight!). Groooooovy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw

Improved comment navigation

My suggestion box entries were getting so many comments that I was starting to find it really difficult to find comments to reply to. Usually you can scroll to the bottom, but what if someone re...

Privacy, Part One

It's the first half of a major update! You can now change your privacy level in books. I still need to implement Friends Only (that's a bit more involved since you need to be able to add your f...


Welcome, welcome new people! Just wanted to say a quick hello and let everyone know that I'm getting pretty close to pushing out the first major phase of book privacy features. It was a little ...

Almost 400!

Just a day ago, it felt like this site was losing some momentum. Not that many new people showing up. Oh, what a difference a day can make. Especially when Open Diary comes to a screeching hal...

And... we're back!

First database upgrade, smooth as butter. :-)


Just a heads up that I'll be provisioning a new database here shortly, and there will be a brief maintenance interruption while the database is being upgraded. I suppose having a warning banner ...


Just wanted to clarify my use of the term since I'm not familiar with the historical significance on OD. Kate maintains an official (and from what I understand extensive) mailing list called Lif...

Hi New People!

Just a quick shout-out to all the new people. Hi! I've tried to make Prosebox as intuitive as possible, though there's also a few books I've linked to in the main menu to make things a bit easi...

Logo contest?

I mentioned to twentytwenty that I was thinking of starting a logo contest, if there's enough artistic types on Prosebox to drum up some interest in such a thing. If there is enough interest, my...


Nothing earth shattering here, but here's some minor tweaks: You should never see this, but there's a Permission Denied page with an annoyed gorilla (to compliment the sad panda error pages). ...

Book deletion

You'll now see a button to delete your book on the book description page. Use this feature with care since it destroys everything in its path (related entries and comments). As with the delete ...


Book Description

Crazy architecture

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