I have been doing site updates for about 20 hours now. There have been several fixes and changes which will hopefully make things more interesting.
Some of the changes are:
More spam protection for posting comments and rages. Captcha for anonymous posting is currently disabled while we test these new spam features out. If spam gets out of control we will need to add captcha again.
Posting rages has been updated. Rage submissions should not be lost any longer if you fail the captcha, and there are not better validations on the different fields. The downside is the fancy editor will be disabled for a while.
Voting and Karma have been updated, this should help out with rages getting pushed to the front page (if logged in users will vote rages up).
Several security fixes have been added.
Proformance tuning. The site didn't really need more, but it doesn't hurt.
Not added yet but next on my list is a site chat and messaging system. Users will be able to chat with one another or send private messages, join different chat rooms, etc. Anonymous users should be able to use it along with logged in users but we will be testing this out to see how it goes.
If I have the time and energy I have some fixes that I will hopefully get to for profiles and image uploading.
What else needs to be done?
