YTMND 2.0 Changelog

Global

• Brand new design created specifically to infuriate you.

• YTMND foreground and background images can have finite placement on the page.
• Site descriptions, origins, etc have all had their size increased and support rich text.
• Citations are now shown on site profiles.
• Inbound links are now shown on site profiles so you can see where traffic to YTMNDs is coming from.

Rich text

• Rich text is supported in multiple areas of the site.
• Rich text includes bold, italic, underline, code, spoiler (preformatted monospace) and user/site/asset links.

Comments

• Comments have had their size increased to 2000 characters (less if you use multibyte).

• Posting a comment on a paged site/news post will now redirect you to the page your comment appears on.

Private Message System

• Completely rewritten from scratch.
• Messages are now threaded, so every reply is added on to the original message, instead of copying the entire message multiple times.
• Number of unread messages is now shown on every page.
• No more unnecessary AJAX, each message has a full URL.
• Removed blocked users, because no one used it and it never worked that well.
• New option to receive an email if you get a private message (off by default to combat possible spam).
• Messages in the "trash" older than 30 days are now automatically deleted.
• Private messages support rich text.
• Filters on the main mail view:

     Quick-filters to hide read/unread messages.
     Filter text box to filter by Sender/Subject.

• When composing a new private message, each comma-separated username will auto-complete.

News

• News now has an RSS feed.
• The five news posts listed at the bottom of the news now show surrounding news posts instead of the most recent five.
• New news page listing available at /news/list
• News is now searchable.

Options/etc

• Lots of options added and removed.
• You can now change the email address associated with your YTMND account.
• You can now retrieve a forgotten username.
• When you use the "forgot password" function, it sends you a verification mail rather than just changing your password.

Users List

• New sections which allow you to see (Most/Least) sponsorship and Most/Best/Worst commenters.

User Profiles

• All pages rewritten to make use of AJAX where applicable.

Default page

• Added some basic comment statistics.
• Now shows latest activity.

Sites page

• Now properly sorts on all applicable fields, sorting should also be much faster.

Comments page

• Comments page now also shows news comments.
• Comments now link to all associated parties/pages, e.g. the parent comment, site, news post etc.

Lists page

• Removed for now. RIP :(

Contests

• New contest option to only allow new sites.
• Contest placement is calculated based on votes between the start and end date of the contest, so old sites no longer have an advantage.

Misc

• A PayPal calculator built into the sponsorship page.
