Ok, it’s been 3 weeks since our last confession, uh, I mean site improvement list. We’ve been focusing on getting a digest email of notifications so that you don’t get overloaded with emails as we turn on more email alerts. Now, we send out a single email containing a list of all the alerts you received since the last digest. You can set the frequency of these digests as well as what you want to be notified about by updating your account settings (click the “gear” icon on the top of the screen then click “Settings” tab).

So what are these new alerts? You can now get alerts when someone likes your posts (and comments and replies), when someone you’re following posts a new topic, and when someone comments on one of your favorite topics. Note: these last two will go live tomorrow.

For the posts themselves, we put some basic tags below the text so you can link to other posts with similar content. We hope to soon give you the ability to edit these tags and create your own… bothon your posts as well as posts of others.

Lots of improvements in the messenger including the ability to share photos with others.

For member’s interested in dating:

In member search results, you can now choose between list mode and grid mode as well as see which members are online now. You can also search by city or zip (US only).

Changed the single gender of “transgender” into “transmen” and “transwomen”. If you are not interested in meeting a transperson or not trans, you won’t see a way to specifically search for them. Note: if you're transgendered, please update your gender on your account page ("gear" icon).

We made lots of behind-the-scenes changes to improve the speed of pages.

If a member is being annoying, you can now block them by clicking the “Block” link on their profile page. If you do that, you won’t see any of their posts and they won’t see yours.

You can now “recycle” your unwanted posts from the post’s page. This just gives the post to the username currently named “Anonymous” so that the discussion can live on. For members who turn off their account, we recycle topics that are general in nature (e.g., no personal reference).

We are working on a bunch of new features and services and welcome your feedback, bug reports, suggestions, etc. We are hoping to have Android and iOS apps done by early next week and the ability to view the members who “liked” your content.

Thanks for your patience!
