When I click "mark unread here" and then go back to that thread's unread it sends me to the following post rather than the one I clicked. This seems wrong...

I could've sworn it was titled "Mark Read Here". (It is not.)

Weird.

The feature is Mark Read At, and Marri knew the alt text was bad.

Updates which people have mostly already noticed and commented on:
- Unread links are moved to the beginning of links on both Unread and Owed
- There's a Mark Read At button on replies now (may interact unexpectedly with marking an entire continuity as read but I expect this to come up almost never) (also I think the hovertext is still Unread so I should fix that)
- Breadcrumbs on characters/templates/galleries now trail back to the owning user, if it's not you

Huh. I think I prefer "Mark Unread At" than "Mark Read At" especially because, like, if I accidentally go to the next page and don't want to i have to return to the previous page and mark read at there. But if other people prefer "Mark Read At" then I guess that's the will of the people.

I prefer Un-.

I have made tickets for "make it Mark Unread At with behavior as expected and warnings on hidden posts". I might have made multiple tickets? WHATEVER, TICKETS HAPPENED.

Looked into domain names a bit. There might be weird ANAME issues with Google domains; we'll see if I can work around it or not.

Updates:
- You can favorite things. Specifically, posts, continuities, or users. There is a Favorites page which contains any post that you have favorited it/its continuity/an author. You can unfavorite, but because I am lazy that's only by going to the original post/author/continuity page and clicking Unfavorite for now, no unified "list of things I favorited" yet. Also, it doesn't seem to adequately distinguish "favorite you have opened and have no unreads" from "favorite you have never opened", which aggravates me and I should fix.
- The user profile page got a facelift a la icon page.
- The Templates page is no longer a thing; relevant functionality now exists on the Characters page.
- There is now a single unified PostScraper class that I can use for future imports. And so I can import Linear B, as long as I've got Linear D in progress.
- You can now see Time Started, Time Last Updated and Status in a post's stats page.
- The minimize gallery option should now work everywhere. Or at minimum on character and icon pages.
- Contribution options are consolidated onto one page now.
- Throne fixed a couple bugs with cameo authors. Namely, they couldn't actually post and you couldn't get rid of them. I guess no one was using the feature to notice xD
- Throne added a bunch more validations you should never see or care about unless you're doing something incredibly intentionally hacky.
- Throne fixed some margins on narrow screens to improve link wrapping.

Patreon list in no particular order:
- Asynchronous emails
- Domain name: glowfic.com
- Change the default layout to be Starry Light
- Have the option for only-opened-threads to be your default Unread page
- More sort/filter options for the Unread page

Other than hiring a Maitimo to convince people to change the relevant part of RFC 1034 and all the common DNS implementations (which seems like the best solution), convincing Heroku to get a static IP address, or settling for www.glowfic.com, it looks like you can’t useGoogle’s name servers with Heroku. However, most good registrars including Google let you use a different name server, and Heroku’s help page on custom domains lists several that do work (including their own PointDNS add-on).

~yay Marri~ <3333

There is now (as far as I can tell...) no option to see all your character, represented by icons, divided up by template. The "Templates" page on icon view used to do that, but the "Characters" page on icon view still just jams them all together. Could we have that option back? It's my preferred way to browse through my characters.

[Marri]

It looks easily doable if I have glowfic.com point to http://www.glowfic.com, and it's probably even more nicely doable if I invest more time than I have investigating DNS records.

You are correct; I am sorry it vanished. I should actually get around to that icon view refactor I totally never did, and include the missing option.
