Many of you probably noticed that the site was down for a couple of hours earlier this morning. Something was hung up on the server and the memory was maxed out. I restarted it and things are l...

---

I moved the book sorting feature out of the profile page and on to its own page. Someone pointed out to me that the book links weren't working on mobile (which is strange because I thought it us...

Prosebox will be going down very briefly for maintenance in a few minutes. Just a heads up to back anything up before attempting to post it. UPDATE: Aaaand we're back.

---

OK, so this has been on my list quite a long time, and I thought it would be pretty cool to actually get this one working. On the Bookmarks page, on the Unread tab, you'll now see a icon in the...

---

I haven't written anything in this book for ages, so I thought it would be worth a quick entry on the phenomenon known as Font Awesome. Font Awesome is the icon set I use for Prosebox. It's bec...

---

I've been doing a little bit of minor tweaking which you may have noticed. Nothing major, except for in the comments section. The good news is that comment thread depth is now unlimited. It do...

---

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...

---

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 ...

---

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:...

---

... 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 ...

---

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...

---

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...

After browsing through my last suggestion box, here are the most popular requests, with the things that are done crossed off: Comment deletion User blocking Pancake Tuesdays (optionally on Wedn...

---

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...

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 ...

---

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).

---

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...
