    Big Little Changes

    First, let's address the elephant in the room. The 502 errors. We're too successful. That's really what it's come down to, plus poor optimization on the part of a dev team who never envisioned the site getting this big. Now that we know where we stand, we can continue improving the experience for everyone. It might be a little rough going, but we're here to make sure your trip is a pleasant one. Unless you anger us, then it's right out the nearest airlock with you, mister.

    Now that we've dealt with the bad, how about some good?


    • Anonymous peer and snatch lists: As many of you have noticed, the peer list is now forced Anonymous. We realize that this makes requesting reseeds very difficult because now it is impossible to see who has actually snatched a torrent. This is unfortunate, but it did lead to more development on the staff's part.

    • Reseed requests: Today we are rolling out a reseed request function. It will appear as a button directly under the "Add Tag" button on the right side of torrent detail pages. The button will only appear if a torrent has been unseeded for a week or longer *and* if the last reseed request was over a week ago, just to keep some of our members with many thousands of torrents in their history from slipping even further into the gaping maw of insanity. When a reseed is requested, PMs will be sent to the uploader and anyone who has completed the torrent. Partial seeders will not receive these requests. There will be a short message and a link to the torrent in question.

    • Last seeded notices: Not sure when that unseeded torrent was last seeded? Now you can see the last-seeded time directly on the torrent page. For now some of the numbers may not be accurate, since the only seeding timer we've had has been the last time anyone tried to download *or* seed the torrent. That is also a thing of the past.

    • Changes to inactive torrent deletion: Inactive torrent deletion will now only take seeding activity into account. People hopping on a torrent without seeders will no longer reset the eight-week inactivity counter. This does mean that we will lose a few more torrents than usual in the next few sweeps of inactive torrents. This is not a purge of seeded material, these are things that would have been deleted long ago anyway.

    • Bookmarking system update: Bookmarking has also seen some major changes, mostly for usability. Clicking the bookmark icon will add a torrent to your bookmarks, as it always has. You no longer need to go to the Bookmarks page to remove them though. Clicking the icon a second time does that for you. Not only that, but in a normal torrent search, the bookmark icon gives a visual cue as to whether a torrent is already bookmarked. Isn't that neat? I think that's pretty neat.

    • Request system update: Unfilling a request will now require a reason for the unfill. This isn't a huge deal, but more of a record-keeping one for requests. Be specific, 'doesn't meet requirements' is very vague.

    • BBCode updates: Unordered lists in BBCode have been a thing forever here, and we're adding the following additional list creation tags: list, ul, and ol. The first two are used to denote unordered lists like this one, and the last one will handle ordered lists, which should increase readability in tutorial threads and the like. For a full rundown on what BBCode we use, this page has the details.

    • Changes to site HTML and CSS: Anyone keeping up with the Design forum may have noticed that there have been some CSS and HTML changes to make styling less painful for our designers. Without getting too into it here, anyone writing stylesheets should find elements of the site easier to work with. If you're interested in learning more, you can check out this thread.
