Making a new name for yourself
Quick update, you now have the ability to change your display name through the account page (see: the gear in the menu bar). Rock on and try not to confuse me too much with your name changing. ...
Improved user page
Still have more plans to improve this further, but now it has: Paging. Pulling down 311 users to a single page is a bit of chore. Sorting. Alphabetical or Newest! (which is kind of fun if you...
300 users?? 300!
Oh, that's definitely a milestone.... This is PROSEBOX!!!!!! Tonight we dine in hell! "Hello, this is Hell's kitchen." "Hi, yeah, I'd like to make a reservation for tonight." "How many i...
Apologies to new users
I think my comment notification broke things for people with newly created accounts, should be fixed now fingers crossed
New comment notification
This is one of those things I've been excited about getting pushed out. So far it looks like it's working as intended. Here's wishing you a little red number bubble of happiness up by your enve...
Login fixes
A couple of people complained about not being able to stay logged in the last couple of days. I think that's because I forgot to add the "Remember me" checkbox to the main Login screen. So hope...
Busy week ahead
Just a heads up that I might not be around too much the rest of this week. I'll be working at a convention, trying to spread love and joy, as part of my regular gig. Should be interesting. I t...
The skinny on skinning
So you may notice a major overhaul on the skinning of the site, and much tweaking to take advantage of some of it. I removed the troublesome login dropdown menu, wasn't working on mobile. Looks...
Feelin' Justified
I received the suggestion to justify text (aligned on both the left and right edges), and since it's a very simple CSS thing - text-align: justify; - I thought I'd give it a whirl with the entry ...
Q&A - please read
Perhaps this will turn in to the start of my FAQ section! A new member asks: I am a little concerned that you are doing this without charge, and that we may be repeating the experience of the o...
I messed with your icons! *
You know how they say it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission? Umm.... sorry. I think most look pretty dang snazzy in the circular format though. *Note: people on IE8 or older (see...
Trying out a sexy new theme
I expect there may be some weird side effects as a result, but we will see. Let me know if I've broken anything for you.
Prosebox has been drafted!
It's off to war! Just kidding. I've unleashed a new Save draft feature that I think people will really like. People won't see your draft until you Publish it. Right now you'll have to go to y...
Help Available
Just a quick update to say that I've provided links to my help books in the menu. Hopefully this will help new people feel... less lost. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNahS3OHPwA
Hi New People! I'm the guy who made this site.
Wow, lots of new people popping up in my little town. Welcome! First of all, you may want to bookmark me because I've got some good books for site users: this book (Site Updates), Tips and Tric...
Formatting help and 100+ users!
I just noticed we passed the 100 user mark, how cool is that?? Also, I added some formatting help information to the add/edit entry page. Everything you ever wanted to know about Markdown and t...
Bookmarks update
You can now bookmark people through their main user page. So you can search the user listing and bookmark your friends who have signed up but not written anything yet.
Youtube update
Made a little change to make the video size "responsive". So it will be bigger on a desktop, and really small if you're scrolling in portrait mode on a phone. Let me know if you see any weird s...
Youtube? Yeah, we've got THAT.
I should have been in bed about 2 hours ago, but this thing was kicking my butt and I can't go to bed after such a butt whooping. But I've solved it! Youtube links are auto-magical now! That's...
No embedded videos? LAME, Prosebox!
'Tis true. Prosebox is currently Youtube-less. But! Rather than allowing embed codes which are somewhat tedious to copy/paste/format as well as a security risk, I just want to have the softwar...
User search
Well, not so much a search as a list of everyone currently signed up on Prosebox. I figure that's sufficient while we have a small amount of people (currently 76 people on Prosebox!) Look for i...
Bookmark users, not books
This is a pretty big change. This is one of those changes where I cross my fingers and say a little prayer before pulling the trigger, since it involves moving data around and some other funky s...
Deleting entries and navigating by author
Yes, yes! You can delete entries now! Seemed like an important feature so I took care of it (don't worry, there's a confirmation screen so you won't accidentally delete your entry). There are ...
I just had an epiphany
Epiphany is a great word, isn't it? OK, so I've been struggling with the idea of bookmarking. As I see people breaking out their writing into several different books, it becomes more obvious th...
Priorities
I decided to make a list of priorities that I'll be working on for future enhancements. So far, here's my list in order of priority: Comments (page through all your comments) Bookmark a user i...
Book Description
A place to keep users updated on what I fix on the site as well as new/improved features.
