I plan on doing a variety of small updates over the course of this week, so if you're interested in that kind of stuff, then watch for this thread to be updated.

Chatroom
Late last week, I upgraded the chat to the latest version. This caused some initial problems, and I've had to since re-install it twice. Today, I think I also fixed the undefined bug and managed to bring F.R.E.D. back as well (I had to be tricky to get him to go into his pad).

I've also added roughly 50 new statuses so that you can let everyone know whether you're feeling grateful, sad, happy, confused, rushed, exhausted, etc. Unfortunately, the chat will not load them in the order I specified. Instead, it's loading them in a seemingly random order. So, have fun with that!


Blogs
On the blogs index page, you were able to see blogs that you couldn't access. That is, you'd see someone's entry, but when you clicked on the entry, you get an error message. This is now fixed. But to keep things running fast and smooth, only blogs that are open to all will show up in the hot post of the day area. Additionally, only comments to blogs that are open to all will show up in the Recent Blog Comments.

On top of that, only a member's most recent blog entry will show up in the recent blog entries area. For whatever reason, some people will make a ton of new blog posts in a span of a few hours. As you can imagine, they end up cluttering the recent blog entries area. From now on though, only the latest blog entry from that user will show up. (Uh... I hope that makes sense)



That's it for now. This post will be updated throughout the week with new updates.

Quick question: Was giving people with less then 250 posts have a custom title an update too? Because I seem to have one now . . .

Thanks. :D

This happened awhile ago. Not sure exactly when, though.
