For anyone curious / confused, we previously didn't show the Follow button unless you were logged in. Now we're showing it to everyone so that casual visitors know that Following artists is an option. If they click it, they'll be prompted to log in / sign up.

@TomFulp, Do You Want To Add Rating Pods On The Previewing Art Projects On The Project System?

Maybe but it's not high priority.

It would be great if we could help get him to the finish line. Here are some of his movies on NG for reference:

Site Work

On Feb 14th we announced that we updated to the latest stable build of PHP, however we ended up having to roll it back to tackle a few things. As of the 20th, we’re back on the latest stable build.

For a few days our nightly emails weren’t going out but they went out today. There’s a bug however where the links in the emails are all going to the front page; these emails will be paused until that's fixed. Monday update: The bug is fixed and the emails are running again.

Our biggest bug has now been fixed; if you ever experienced the bug where you uploaded an image in the author commentary of a project, only to have it be replaced with a line of text showing the path to where the image should be, that bug is now resolved. You will need to go back to those projects and re-upload the image, however.

In late November we introduced Project Templates but there were some bugs, for example if you set a default project template, it didn’t actually apply it by default to your projects. This ended up on the back-burner but has now been fixed. Let me know if you experience any bugs with the template system!

There was a bug where you couldn’t open the “Icon Options” menu on your profile in Safari or other iOS browsers. This has been fixed.

There was a bug where the art edit form wasn’t auto-saving the Creative Commons settings if you left the page without performing a save elsewhere. This has been fixed.

Lots of other small bugs and new issues related to the PHP update have been resolved. We’re still in bug fixing / code clean-up / quality of life improvements for the foreseeable future.
