nothin like coming onto toyhouse to kinetic-memory click on what turns out to be the wrong subforum. i love the new ones, don't get me wrong! but please, i'd love to have the changelog actually reflect.. everything that changes. or like a weekly sprint/update ????
anyway, thanks y'all for all ur hard work, i would just love for you to tell us all about it.

Oh yeah, they added an edit button to world pages too =w=)b (previously had to edit through Admin tools)
yeah like, new features appear all the time and the only way to find them is to like, scour through dropdown menus everywhere.
Did you know about, not only Tabs for characters, but SPLIT tabs, and even Sub-gallery tabs? you can have character galleries set into sections.
Also folders can be flattened. Its amazing, but i have no idea when these features started cause i just randomly found them while editing XD
I've voted here before, but +1, more than ever. This site is complicated, and eternally changing, which is a good thing, but it's hard to navigate sometimes when I have no idea what's changed.
I'm finding new little things that weren't there last time I saw, such as blocking stats, specify sensitive content, world pages, and hyperlink credits, to name a few. I had no ideas these features were there, and they're good features to be aware of. It can be fun to stumble across features you weren't aware of sometimes, but this a storage site, it has functions, and new functions are just appearing. It's a little offputting and a little frustrating sometimes.
I guess what I'm felling is, support, I'd really like there to be a consistent place where updates are always listed. A lot of new, helpful things come in little batches, which are perfect for the changelog this site has made, but having it not updated is not helpful. Being in the dark is not fun, and though my trust isn't worth much, it feels weird. I love this site, but not the level of communication.
@wiicked i'm slightly concerned about coders who aren't excited to show off all their hard work tho :c i love the staff and the site dearly, i just want them to tell us about it when stuff happens!
i'll keep this updated while the official changelog isn't, at least.
God please. Walking into the forums all rearranged made me a bit mad actually? Like it was fine the way it was what the heck? I’d like to at least know that they acknowledge the changes they make, hell even maybe host votes for some bigger changes? Idk it just seems weird that they don’t update the changelog
yeah, like, im sure many people would be very willing to do a user-ran 'changelog' but.... the problem is.... actually noticing the changes. some of the changes are subtle, and some are for features not everyone uses or thinks to check. that, and we're just users, we aren't in the know to what all is changing and what the admins do, so it would be kind of impossible for a changelog to be up to date all the time, whereas a admin-ran one could be updated as soon as they have the time to update it, and with accurate information to post, to boot.
hard +1, i very much want to know what's going on when things update and when theres a new feature that theres legit just...no announcement for im confused honestly?
