picture uploading problems Sat 5th Sep 2009
hi all,
I just fixed a problem with pic uploading - if you've had problems with this recently then please give it another go. You might find it works now. If not, please let me know,
tony
Password retrieval fixed Mon 1st Jun 2009 It was broken, now fixed 
We've just moved to a new server and this was a side effect. Anything else strange, please let me know...
tony forum tweeks Sat 31st May 2008 Some more forum code updates today. I've removed the avatar pic from the list of topics page, and introduced a topic emoticon and an option sub-title. Seems to work, but shout if not. Forum text cursor focus Tue 27th May 2008
When you clicked New Post or Reply the cursor wasn't always set correctly in the new text area that slides open. This should be behaving properly now.
However, I note that Quote puts the cursor at the start of the text on Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, which correctly positions it at the end. I'll look into this some more shortly.
The development blog is back Tue 27th May 2008
After absence of a couple of months I've brought this page back into service. I kinda missed it. Welcome back news page!
home page comments to pictures Wed 2nd Jan 2008 slight tweek here - gone are the speaker's avatar pics, and intead is shown the actual picture commented on. I much prefer replying to home page comments Fri 14th Dec 2007
Added a new "Say something to x" link on home page comments. Makes it more obvious where to post your reply...
deleting comments on home pages Wed 28th Nov 2007
This now has a nice Yes/No prompt box.
In addition... Thu 15th Nov 2007
You can now vote on the Pic of the Week voting page
photo rating tweak Thu 15th Nov 2007
Slight change to photo rating. Only photos uploaded this week (Sun - Sun) are eligible for voting. At midnight Saturday, the photo with the most votes will be the new weeks pic of the week. Hope that makes sense!? The only difference is that before you could keep on voting for any picture, and now you can't.
Home page tweeks Thu 8th Nov 2007
Slight change to the home page title, and also moved the Edit home page text link from preferences to here, for improved ease of use.
Posted downtime alert on home page Wed 24th Oct 2007 Yep - from 8:45pm On Thu 25th, koivsta will be down and out. Our ISP is relocated over 100 of its servers from London Docklands, where rack prices are spiraling, up to Manchester. Unfortunately, this is a physical move which means proper downtime. All should be back in place we you get up on Friday morning, however. Personally, I'm off to the pub to try and not think about things like bus crashes, and the like
Also, made some minor cosmetic tweeks to the home page news feeds. Hope you like my twitter.com intergration! It really does work. photo count Sat 20th Oct 2007
added a photo count next to gallery names on the home page tabs.
Picture URLs Sat 20th Oct 2007
I just added back the standard internet address link for individual photos. You'll find this on your Manage Photos tab. Useful for posting pics on forums - koimag.co.uk, etc.
minor tweeks Thu 18th Oct 2007
...to the home page layout - more to come on that. The much requested discussion groups are coming along nicely and will probably appear next month some time...
"Pic of Week Candidate" text bug fix Mon 15th Oct 2007
This text, as shown next to the upload date of pictures being shown at full size, was incorrectly printed on last weeks photos - but only on a Sunday! It should now display only for pics uploaded *this* week, where Sunday is day 1. It was also incorrectly showing for pics in For Sale and Personal galleries.
Non koi related pics Mon 8th Oct 2007
These are now allowed! However, they must be placed in a special 'personal' gallery. To create one of these just click Create Gallery on your home page and then click the check box to the right of the name field. You are only allowed one personal gallery, for the time being.
Personal galleries are not listed on the home page Galleries tab, but uploads are noted under News and Comments. You can obviously link to these pictures and galleries from other sites. This feature is seriously beta so please let me know of any problems.
Are you a man? Sat 6th Oct 2007
On your Edit Preferences page you can now select to set an optional Male or Female flag. It's entirely optional. However, setting this will allow the system to generate more meaningful news messages using words such as His or Her.
User joined date Fri 5th Oct 2007
Home pages now display the date at which a koivista user joined the site. This is shown just below the name at the top left of the screen.
Development blog Fri 5th Oct 2007
You may have noticed that things keep changing on koivista! We're always striving to add cool new functionality, and there's a lot of new stuff to come over the next few weeks. We've added this section so that you can keep track of exactly what is happening.
