Image by slava (via Tim) Well, it’s been a long time coming. We finally decided enough was enough, dug in, and wrote up a chatroom last week. It’s been in testing for just a little bit, so there’s quite a good possibility something may go wrong, so just PM us and yell. Tidepool – Support […]
Making it easier to follow people 7:38 pmPhoto by mikebaird on Flickr. Finding it hard to navigate the massive wave of avatars on profile pages? Good news! With the increased limits on your fluther, we decided it was time to speed things up by reducing the things shown on profile pages. You’ll now see a random set of up to 15 users. Also […]
Nominations for a new moderator! 1:42 pmPhoto by jonnyhunter We’re going to do something a little differently this time around and ask the collective for nominations for our next Fluther mod. Please PM me and let me know your choice. Thank you!
Photo by yellowcloud. You may have noticed the new background wallpaper celebrating the magic of snowflakes winter — or, in the case of San Francisco, the magic of grey skies and freezing rain (still magical!). Many thanks to gggritso for submitting the background.
A bugfix and an increase for your fluther 1:41 amPhoto by kekremsi. A few of you may have wondered what the limit on the size of your fluther was when you bumped into a limit at an unusual number. And you’d probably scratch your head when we said the limit was 150 and yet you were still at 138. It turns out, it was […]
Beginning a browsing experiment 5:48 pmWe’ve pushed some new tabs (Discussions and Questions) on the main page to beta users, kicking off a period of experimenting with the way that we all can view and filter information on the site. PM me, Ben, or Tim if you’d like to be included in the beta group. Special thanks to johnpowell for […]
We finished processing everyone’s avatar images. We’re still tidying up some of the default avatars, but we’re really excited about actually seeing the jellies in our collective. We may or may not have spent the afternoon looking at profile pages. Enjoy!
Know who knows? Then pass it on! 1:01 pmSometimes you see a question on Fluther and you’re tempted to write, “I have no idea how batteries work.” But you resist that temptation and wait for someone smarter to answer (we appreciate that). Other times you see a question and think, “I have no clue how to wax a piano, but my friend Rupert […]
Avatars are changing! 11:28 pmI swear, sometimes I wonder if there’s a hidden mic at Fluther HQ. Just this week people were talking about phoenyx’s nifty avatar enlarger, while others were embedding hidden messages in the tiny 40 x 40 avatars we use on the site. During all this (and completely unrelated to the shenanigans on Fluther), we’ve been […]
