So I suppose... in Site Updates

... 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 features at this point, so we'll just drop the beta from the title bar.

Also, in honor of being beta-less, I've revamped the landing page of the site into something completely different. (the landing page is the front page you see when you aren't logged into the site)

Racism is a qualifier for breaking of ToS, right?

Go look at the last note I received.

YAY!

Wicked Nights April 28, 2014

OK, OK, OK, Fine... I'll log out just this once.

NFL Girl April 28, 2014

Opening page looks awesome, and yes, I'd say you're past being a beta site now. :)

Crazy-ish Bitch April 28, 2014

Hi there. Just a little something I'd like to put forward about noting. On our main note page, is it possible to be able to have a reply button underneath each note? So that even if they are on different entries, we can just reply to them as we read instead of having to go to the entry page?

Also on the note page, would it be possible to have options of what we are viewing like on the bookmarks page? For example "new notes" or "notes not replied to"... something along those lines?

I'm not very good with words but hope you can understand! Just ideas. :)

Thank you for all of your hard work with this place! I'm very grateful!

Expanding on this - I'd like notifications for when people respond to other comments on my entry. Sometimes someone wants to echo what someone else is saying, with their own thoughts, but only the person they are responding to gets the notification >:

H. Majesty T. Mudfish Queen Crazy-ish Bitch ⋅ April 30, 2014

ooh I would love that too. To be able to just reply to the notes/comments as we read them without going to the entry would be really really delicious to my lazy commenting habits....

Goodbye Bleeder Crazy-ish Bitch ⋅ May 02, 2014

I love this idea too and I am not going to lie, I sometimes search for the reply button when U look at my notes.

It would be such a handy feature. And yes, maybe a lazy one, but still, quite useful.

I also second knowing when there is a comment left on a comment that is not our own but that we are apart of. (A thread?)

Rock On. ;)

Love what you've done with the place, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do with it in the future.

Look at you dropping the beta and ish :)

Love the new landing page, it looks so appealing!

Hi,

I'm sorry to bother you but I am having a problem. I've been all day trying to login into here with my phone and I've been unable to do it. It appears to me the home page as normal (well, with the new design you've made for it), I try to log in (and yes, I've put my email and my password correctly) and it seems that it's going to login normally until the home page is loaded again, like if I had only refreshed it instead of trying to login. I've been all day trying and trying but it just won't go, it'll keep refreshing the front page instead of login in...

I'm now in my laptop (I didn't have access to it in the whole day, only now) and thankfully I was logged in, so I came to tell you the problem I am having. I don't know if there's more people with this problem; I asked a few friends over fb and they said they were login in the site perfectly fine from their phones. I thought about trying to logout here and try to login, just to see if it's my account or what, but I don't want to risk to have access denied to my diary!

Thank you!

The only thing that I can think of is that you have cookies disabled in your browser. Prosebox uses a cookie to track your session so that would be a problem if you do.

Deleted user simple mind ⋅ April 28, 2014

Ok, I'll try to see that and get back to you, thanks!

Deleted user simple mind ⋅ April 28, 2014

Actually... I do have cookies allowed and it keeps doing the same :-/

I've never had this problem until today, so I'm not sure what to do.

Deleted user Deleted user ⋅ April 28, 2014

Oh, and try clearing your cookies and trying again, in case the cookie's screwed up?

Bird of Paradise April 28, 2014

Looking Good!

Deleted user April 28, 2014

I like the new landing page. It looks more upscale. :-)

Why do you keep to 'sign up' and 'log in' links on the same page?

Loki April 28, 2014

  • awesome so far! ♥

I noticed it was different and now I know why! Welcome to us alphaprose folks (as opposed to bataprose?)!

Deleted user April 28, 2014

Oh, but you ARE done! :) :) It's great just the way it is and I hope you will leave things as they are for the most part. Remember, if we didn't love your site just the way it is, we wouldn't have come here in the first place. :) Change is annoying and often leads to glitches, so I think you're good to go as a non-beta site. :) I may only add customized backgrounds and a search feature that lets us search our posts, but that's pretty much it. It's GREAT!

Who's Laughing Now? April 29, 2014

So I can't help that, not only is that racist lunatic still sending me abusive comments, but that this person has made a second account and is sending me more abusive crap, and you blocked me for far less before.

It's nice to know that you allow this kind of crap.

Simply Adia Who's Laughing Now? ⋅ April 29, 2014

How ridiculous. That should be taken care of immediately.

simple mind Who's Laughing Now? ⋅ April 29, 2014

I'm sorry but I haven't been around much since my last post. I try to do what I can. But more information would help - what entry the comments are on and the user names they are left under, and if the comments are private.

Who's Laughing Now? simple mind ⋅ April 30, 2014

Yeah, I know, sorry. It was quite a shock, and it really pissed me off - didn't mean to snap.

I can't remember the names, exactly, as I blocked them... but one was called something like "ShayShayNot", or something. And another was called "sendthemback". But I copied the notes into an entry called "Wat" (https://www.prosebox.net/entry/123112/wat/). The entry they left the notes on to begin with is called "Incredible" (https://www.prosebox.net/entry/120009/incredible/). I did delete the original notes, but I suppose you can retrieve them...?

I'm not one to snitch, under normal circumstances, but racism makes me very angry.

Deleted user April 29, 2014

so you've... mastered beta? i'll get my coat.

Ophidia Deleted user ⋅ April 29, 2014

Ahahahahahaha.

Ophidia Deleted user ⋅ April 29, 2014

It's the "I'll get my coat" that really made it.

Deleted user Ophidia ⋅ April 29, 2014

i could've also gone with the csi meme.

Ophidia April 29, 2014

Love the new landing page! Beautiful and professional. Great job, proseboss.

Stephably April 30, 2014

I have been meaning to say something about the landing page, especially on mobile because the login was so far down, but hey you fixed it. Whee.

H. Majesty T. Mudfish Queen April 30, 2014

I just saw the "landing page" (Learn something new every day here at Prosebox...lol....anyone that can get ME to learn technical computer terms is really achieving something.... Anyway the landing page LOOKS SPECTACULAR. Professional, Oooh la la...., YES! Really really loooks great!

Katren...In Conclusion April 30, 2014

Very nice "landing page"

Deleted user May 01, 2014

Is there or will there be a way to post entries but not accept comments on those entries because sometimes I want to tell the interwebs things but I don't want feedback ( and requesting no comments rarely works lol )

Shattered May 02, 2014

Can we get a button to edit notes? =)

lime_green May 02, 2014

Congrats on losing the beta tag! Love the site and am looking forward to future updates. :D

Deleted user May 03, 2014

You're right, this website seems pretty complete :) And I absolutely love the new landing page !!!

Deleted user May 04, 2014

I noticed that sometimes my entry isn't on the main page while other times it is, even though they're public or members only. Why is that?

Deleted user May 04, 2014

Another question - do you think you'll ever have scheduling for future posts? Like say we want to auto-post something when we won't be able to be at the computer, do you think you'll ever have that here?

Deleted user May 05, 2014

Are we Gamma now, then?

Did you ever put in a "Save Book as File" feature? That seems rather essential, more so as time goes on. Likewise for search.

But the site has been very stable and features work as advertised-- if those are the main criteria, then it's definitely out of Beta. Good work.

Deleted user May 10, 2014

I think you have done a wonderful job and I thank you for it. Journaling is so important to me and this is just what I wanted when OD went down. So far, things have been working for me. Thanks again!
