A few small, but highly useful, changes
A small front-end update went out this morning which changes two things:
Friends Admin: You can now select multiple people to befriend or defriend — check it out
Quotable Button: It will now prompt you for confirmation of your nomination. Several complaints about accidental quotables prompted this.
There’s also been a backend update to the way a user’s tags are stored and how friends are stored. Database changes. So, if you see any funky behavior related to those items, please post about it here.
Thanks!

Jeff changed the tags on this post: they were "friends, Database, Confirmation (Christian sacrament), Related, Tag (metadata), Button, Front-end and back-end, morning, post, Small" 2 years, 3 months ago.
Jeff, do you know on the friends bit, it had a section at the bottom where you could add friends who you had chatted to before or people that were like you, has that bit gone now or someplace else?
I took it out. I figured it would be better for people to meet in chat or posts and add from their instead of random people showing up on that page.
Plus, that portion of the page was a bit heavy on computation time.
ahh ok thanx for explaining, although i did like that function so you could choose to add them later rather than then and there, but atleast i know its gone and im nor going insane wondering where it went lol
Thanks for the cool changes you are making Jeff. It seems like there are always great things going on to make the site easier and better to use :)
Small, fast, simple revision cycles are the best :D Annoying for people who only visit once in a while though :/
I wish i only visited once in while, then maybe i would not be so hooked, i cant even turn my comp off at night lol
Hehe. My complaining has now required the addition of one feature I hate.
Prompt: Are you sure you wanna do this?
*Yes*
Prompt: Are you really sure you wanna do this?
*Yes*
Prompt: Are you really really sure you wanna do this?
*Yes* dammit.
Prompt: You realise by doing this, there’s no way of going back, it’s done forever and ever, till the end of time and you will be screwed if you make a mistake.
Forget it, *Cancel*.
Prompt: Are you sure you wanna cancel?
*throws computer out window and screams*
Seriously though, I appreciate the annoying prompt in this case. I was clicking all kinds of quotables by accident. Thanks! :D

No…i…dea…
The auto-tagger does funny things sometimes -_-;
I forgot to add, friends now get auto-cleaned. Meaning, users who haven’t used the site in over a month, got banned, or have been disabled no longer show up in fan/fave/friend lists. If their status changes back to active, they’ll automatically reappear.
Myself and several users were tired of seeing plenty of “dead” users littering f/f/f lists that couldn’t be gotten rid of. :/
Yes I noticed that too, thanks! I had several non-users on that page and was wanting a way to get rid of them.

What’s the activity thing on the profiles?
THAT is a very good question….
Its there to tell you what you have been doing the last 3 months, if you hover your mouse over it it will show you how many replies you have done and how many posts also the date of them etc
