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

Next up: importing all of Pedro's requested threads

In more administrative news, I think my caching changes have gotten my Amazon charges back to their original reasonable level, but it'll take a month or two to be completely sure. In the meantime, more than zero people have proposed swapping Paypal for Patreon at me. It has the benefit of offering recurring and I think being better about international; it has the drawback of charging me a percentage. I'm not totally sure how either or both handle internet anonymity of donors or if there are other things people would want I'm not thinking of. Does anyone here happen to have opinions or preferences in either direction?

I will totally throw money at you on Patreon, but I worry with Paypal I won't remember to regularly. You could perhaps have a mix of both? Patreon for people that want to toss small amounts of money at you every month versus people that want to just throw money at you without having to worry about that account stuff.

what a good marri <33333

General reminder that there is a list of 'issues' here that is basically the to-do list for the Constellation and is relatively frequently checked and issues are removed from the list as we do them. You can in fact vote on them and make your own issues in the list here (or post them here and hopefully we'll remember to add them), in which case we shouldn't forget about issues, though in the past I think we have not caught all the suggestions so they aren't all on there.

… There are a few relatively trivial ones there. I guess we will get around to them shortly, now that I've noticed them? (The voting isn't a guarantee we'll get to it in any reasonable time period, unfortunately, but it should at least give us some sort of indication of what features are desired more than others.)

It has come to my attention that if Pedro's threads are getting scraped, my icons are going to get duplicated

Someone please remind me tomorrow to go through Sunburst and find which of my journals get used there and organize lists of which dreamwidth icon URL should correspond to which constellation icon ID.

Throne fixed the 25-only thing on Pedro's import so it's now almost done... @Kappa I told it to skip Sunburst for now but we should chat at some point just to make sure I didn't break anything <3

I have no objection to maintaining both a Paypal and a Patreon; I'll go set one up. But y'know, tomorrow, because it is now the Time of Bed.

It, uh, it didn't skip Sunburst XD

Yeah, it also didn't skip anything else... and now there are a bazillion duplicates. I continue to not understand how it worked locally but I'll clean it up in the morning :/ sorry!
