YTMND 2.0 Changelog

Global

• Brand new design created specifically to infuriate you.
• All URLs are now rewritten, so most pages with query strings have new, cleaner URLs.
• All pages are now templated XHTML strict; all CSS, JS, etc moved to external files for speed and cleanliness.
• All pages are now available gzipped for faster load speed.
• YTMND has had its database completely overhauled and scrubbed, the majority of the site is now fully UTF-8 compliant.

YTMNDs

• YTMNDs can now have both a foreground and background image.
• YTMND foreground and background images can have finite placement on the page (e.g. top right, bottom center, middle left etc).
• 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 (preformatted monospace), spoiler (hidden until mouseover) and user/site/asset links.
  • User/site/asset links are currently undergoing a retooling, so it's advisable to not try to use them.

Activity

• User activity is now tracked thoroughly. This can be changed somewhat in your user preferences.
• Site/Profile views, votes, comments, site creations/edits etc all show up in your activity page.
• /spy is now a crapflood.

Frienemies

• YTMND now supports friends and enemies.
• Becoming friends or enemies with a user makes their user name change color around the site.
• Befriending someone makes them show up in your "feed", where you can stalk them.
• Currently making someone your enemy does nothing beyond making a statement.

Comments

• Comments have had their size increased to 2000 characters (less if you use multibyte).
• Comment nesting now goes to five levels, for multi-threaded conversations.
• Longer user-names are now visible in comments.
• Wide comments no longer push controls to the side, or break boxes.
• Comments now have unique immutable links which can be copied from their timestamp.
• Comments on user profiles now link to the parent comment if the comment is a reply.
• Comment links will go directly to the page the comment is on.
• 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.
• Has a default sort based on URL, e.g. /users/max/sites sorts oldest-to-newest, /users/max/sites/recent is newest-to-oldest, /users/max/sites/top_rated is highest-scores first.

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 :(

New user profile pages

• Frienemies page - Gives an overview of who your friends and enemies are, as well as all "inbound" relationships.
• Activity page - Shows your recent activity.
• Feed page - Shows when people comment on your site, and all of your friends' activities. Sort of like a personal /spy.

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.

Assets Page

• Now shows a plethora of extra information.
• URLs can now be /assets/<asset id> in addition to /assets/<asset md5>

Keywords Page

• Tried to make it slightly more useful and failed miserably.

Misc

• Passwords are now hashed before logging in so plaintext passwords are no longer sent.
• A PayPal calculator built into the sponsorship page.
