Hiya, folks!
Just wanted to provide a small update on some quality of life updates I've been making to the site. Most of this benefits the team more than you but there's some value in it for you too!
Added complete functionality for emoticon and BBCode usage in statuses as well as profile cards and feeds.
Users can no longer post links of any kind, including http, www, com, net, etc in statuses. This is an effort to alleviate prohibited advertising and bot spam.
We've finally upgraded our Member Notes application. If Staff deems it necessary, we now have an option to inform you when we add a note to your account. If you receive a notification that a note has been attached to your account, you can view it by opening My Notifications in your profile settings and clicking on the note's timestamp.
Added a new notification on the file submission page that reminds our users that files will not be approved instantaneously. See a preview of it HERE.
Added a new alert on the Compose New Message page to remind users not to send unsolicited requests to Staff for support, content, etc.
Upgraded our Friends Online application, which will now sort friends by their session time.
Demo and VirusTotal links, as well as version compatibility are now hidden on the file index page due to page stretching. You can still view this info via the file's page.
We will continue to release minor QOL updates in the meantime, at least until we officially upgrade to IPB 4.x!
