The active blog menu in the user menu popup does not work as intended. The menu closes prematurely after trying to change active blog or just opening and deselecting the menu. Stuck on curent blog unless cursor is on select box and active blog is changed using keyboard. Using Mozilla Firefox 89.0.2 on Linux

The posts don't fit to the screen, they are too wide. Using Firefox beta on Huawei NEM-L21 (Android 7.0, 1080x1920 screen resolution)

There had apparently been an issue with the way we were activating push notifications that was preventing users from getting the notifications.

The bug has now been fixed (we've also fixed it for the 90+ people who already subscribed to the browser-notifications in the past month).

We've implemented a rate-limit on the number of posts a new user/site can make to groups to limit new users spamming groups with irrelevant posts.

The limit is currently set to 3 times the number of weeks since the site was created (for example: if your site was created less than 7 days ago, the total number of posts to any group that you can make per day will be 3; if you joined 8 weeks ago, you can post 24 posts to groups per day).

Posts to your own site/group are unrestricted regardless of the age of your account.

You can now get push notifications of new notifications you get on your site.

If your browser supports push notifications, you'll see a blue "Subscribe" button on the notifications page.

It's very non-spammy even for high traffic sites and will only send at most 1 notification per 20 minutes (if you've been on the site or have checked the notifications page in the past 30 minutes, you will not receive notifications).

This has currently been tested on Firefox and Chrome browsers. It should also work on the newest version of Microsoft Edge as well as Firefox for Android (it won't work on iOS at this time as Apple hasn't added support for push notifications via the browser). Read More »

Group owners can now block users -- this will prevent the blocked user from posting (or reposting) to your group.

Group owners can now block users -- this will prevent the blocked user from posting (or reposting) to your group.

To block a user from posting to a group, switch to the group account (with the drop down at the top right) then go to the profile of the person to block and hit the crossed-out circle icon (next to the follow button).

Another highly requested feature, hashtags, have arrived!

You can tag your posts with any keywords to help you and others find posts about a subject or theme.

Adding a hashtag is easy -- goto the "Create post" page and at the bottom, you'll find a place to add 1 or more tags for your posts. You can just tap the pre-set tags we've added or type in your own tags separated by commas.

You and your site's visitors can see the tags for a post below the post and click a tag to see other posts sharing the same tag.

You can also edit your existing posts to add tags to them. Here's a sample tag page for Read More »
