MeetFighters News

Hi Fighters,

First a public service announcement: wrestling will remain a part of the Olympics. We can all stop panicking now. :)

I decided to spice interest groups up a bit a while ago. The first step is now complete, which brings photo galleries to interest groups. Any member of a group can upload photos to the group's gallery for others to browse, discuss and rate.

Additionally, interest groups feature more prominently on the Recent Changes page, showing your most busy interest groups, and possibly some others that might interest you.

I have some more plans for the groups for the (near?) future:

• Let group owners appoint a few trusted lieutenants to become group moderators.
• Moderators can then make sure the discussion stays on topic by being able to remove forums and photos that they consider to be outside the group's scope.
• Maybe more to come? Your ideas can help!

Some unrelated changes that happened since the last site update:

• The new and modified users are displayed in a more compact and appealing format on the Recent Changes page.
• There is now a limit on the number of favorites and blocks one can have.
• The dialog showing messages is now more robust and can also flip to the next or previous message directly.
• It is now possible to change the title of a wrestling event after its initial posting. It is also easier for event organizers to keep track of their submitted events.
• Disabled the cloudflare CDN as it was causing some unforeseen problems for some users. The new server can handle the load anyway.
• It is now easier to change your e-mail address (also helps at registration time).
• Trial users can no longer upload videos. (Apparently it was a popular passtime to register here and then proceed to upload something taken off youtube...)
• Fixed a couple of bugs, including one involving thumbnails in the newsletter. (Made some new ones to fill the void.)

That's it for this week's news. Keep on wrestling!
