Oh man.... it's a DOOZY of an update in Site Updates

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, this is mostly a cosmetic update. I hope you like the changes. I'm sure I've fouled up a few things, so let me know on this entry if you notice problems that weren't there before.
The only realy functionality changes are:
When you write an entry, you now select the book in the entry editor. This also gives you the ability to edit an entry and move it to a different book. This isn't meant as a replacement for a future entry manager, but at least you can do something you couldn't before. And the menus are cleaner.
You can now friend/unfriend someone from the entry page as well as the user's box.
The header bar is no longer pinned to the top on desktop displays and scrolls away.
The footer should slide to the bottom of the page if there's no content on the page to push it down
Dancing monkeys! (just kidding, don't have that yet)
And there are other things I want to clean up; I was just excited to get this out there. Woot!
UPDATE: Reverted background from very light gray to white in an attempt to try to solve the red background mystery that's cropped up for some people.
UPDATE: Red removed! A lovely user helped me find some experimental garbage code I forgot to delete.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, I was headed to bed when I left my comment! It's much better now but where'd the PB logo go on the top? It looked all snazzy and stuff, lol.

Any better now? (can't replicate in on my end with Chrome on two different computers)

I love the updates! They happened as I was writing an entry, and after I posted it... all these changes appeared. It was a surreal few minutes, but in a good way!
The REAL DiaryMaster ⋅ September 13, 2013
For those of you looking for dancing monkeys, Open Diary has 'em -- NO waiting! Except to login and load, that is...
Lobbastah The REAL DiaryMaster ⋅ September 14, 2013
But Prosebox has dancing Lobbastahs. Win.

M'lord, we may need to up your salary and make you a king!

Eep! Glitch alert! I had several private comments on an entry that can now be seen. They were private earlier in the day, but now are not. Maybe a side effect of the new update?

Nope! Displayed for all to see, even though I checked the private box.
Deleted user ⋅ September 14, 2013
Nope. Not working.

Oh, and all the colored reply bars are gone, too.

Thank you for all the work you're putting into PB! Heh....i can't help but think "peanut butter" every time I say PB lol. I've gotten to the point of starting to hate OD because it still takes soooooo long to load and the DM just doesn't give a shit anymore. So thank you for all you're doing :)!
Deleted user ⋅ September 14, 2013
I am soooo loving Prosebox :) Thank you sir!

themoodyone ⋅ September 14, 2013
Love that I can change my mind on where to put stuff now. Nice update, congrats on the progress!
SilverStar46 ⋅ September 14, 2013
Sweetness! I love the new look! I also wrote an entry last night and was all... "Now what's the name of my book that seems like everyone else has ALSO named their book?" but I knew you'd get to it and I wasn't about to complain! :)
Linda ⋅ September 14, 2013
Looks great! Thanks.
hoops ⋅ September 14, 2013
Good stuff. I'm looking forward to the dancing monkeys, but until then, this is pretty cool.
Lobbastah ⋅ September 14, 2013
Shows how oblivious I am... didn't notice the color change until I started reading people saying "I want my all-white back!" Wow, people really do hate change.
Kate ⋅ September 14, 2013
I like the new look, but would LOVE if you could get the background (everything that's not the writing block) to gray. It brings the focus to the main block of the page, and on a larger screen, all this white is jarring. Thanks for all the hard work!
simple mind Kate ⋅ September 14, 2013
Well, the background is gray now, but it's a very light gray. Perhaps darkening it up just a bit? I'm still tinkering as I like to do so I may do that. I may even make the white slightly off-white just for those who it causes eye strain.
Kate simple mind ⋅ September 14, 2013
It IS gray now! Love it. It wasn't a few minutes ago for me.
simple mind Kate ⋅ September 14, 2013
I just darkened it up a tad. Some monitors don't have as much contrast as others so it's hard to find that perfect balance sometimes. :)
Jack ⋅ September 14, 2013
I'm loving the cosmetic changes and I've been playing around with the entry manager. Good times. Still holding my breath for the dancing moneys.
simple mind Jack ⋅ September 14, 2013
Well, your wait for the dancing monkeys is over! (see my latest entry)
Deleted user ⋅ September 14, 2013
Awesome, I go away for a month and come back just in time for a fancy new site design but late enough for the mysterious red background issue to be resolved. Result :-)
simple mind Deleted user ⋅ September 14, 2013
It's not even mysterious any more. When you accidentally leave in Javascript with the actual word "red" in it that shouldn't be there... silly me.
james ensor ⋅ September 15, 2013
Nice touches!
Way better than the bad touches you used to give me. shudder
Chaosindreams ⋅ September 16, 2013
I sorta liked having that bar pinned to the top, it made navigation easier. Any way we can have that as an option to select in the future? Maybe it's just me. I'm always the weirdo...
Loki ⋅ September 17, 2013
Glorious what tweaks you have so far done! I like them! I seriously thought I went to wrong site at first as I have not been here for a bit. I do love what I see though. Great job! ♥
