Prosebox News, now with less "I've already seen that" in Site Updates
You now have a button on the main page to hide news items you've already seen. News will remain hidden until I add something new. Valuable real estate restored!
Private comments only in Site Updates
I've added the option to the entry editor to only accept private comments. Let's make sure this works.
Formatting fix in Site Updates

News Carousel? How nifty. in Site Updates
That's right! No longer shall my news items simply drop into oblivion. Oh no, the latest three news items will rotate at the top of the main page, making it much harder to miss them. I'm not s...
Happy editor fun time in Site Updates
Ok, so it's not a rich text editor, but here's a toolbar for you. It's still Markdown. The preview function is better integrated. It's definitely an improvement. Enjoy!
Suggestion Box, November edition in Suggestion Box

Moving things, breaking things in Site Updates
I decided I was finished with Godaddy.com and transferred my domain elsewhere. In the process, I forgot to fix "prosebox.net" without the www prefix. So it was probably down for a little while....
Time zones in Site Updates
You should now be able to set your time zone under Settings. And this will affect the date and time you see on the site when it's listed. :-)
Prosebox, now with less "The dog ate my entry!" in Site Updates
I've seen a couple of entries today about entries being eaten by Prosebox. Prosebox doesn't actually decide to mess with you and randomly eat entries - most likely, you either thought you hit th...
Q&A, Part One in Site Updates
First off, THANK YOU! Initially, I was so reluctant to come to PB for the same reasons that so many are still clinging for dear life over at OD. Even though this site doesn't feel quite like "...
Comments - now with twice the awesome! in Site Updates
I revamped the entry page for commenting. First of all, the Leave a Comment form is now at the bottom of the page. If you don't feel like scrolling through all the comments to get to it, never ...
URLs, opening in a new tab in Site Updates
Since I want to make it as difficult as possible for people to leave Prosebox, I decided to fix URLs in entries so they will open in a new window or tab. You don't have to worry about it, should...

In a few minutes I'm taking down Prosebox to quickly run a database script. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. Will update this when complete. UPDATE: Done! Thank you and carry on....
Suggestion Box, October Edition in Suggestion Box
First of all, a welcome to all the recent newcomers! I thought that What's-his-name was coming back to fix that other site, but the recent entries on here seem to suggest otherwise. There seems...
2,000 and Dark theme tweaks in Site Updates
Yay, we have over 2,000 users! How cool is that? Also, I'm still tweaking the Dark theme. I've tried to soften the colors a bit more for people with sensitive eyes. Plus it's less eye strain ...

The new Dark theme is now available to everyone! Just visit your Settings page (you know, that screen that allows you to change your icon and display name), and you'll notice some fun new stuff....
Come to the Dark Side! We have cookies! in Site Updates
I'm looking for a few beta testers to join me on the Dark Side. I've created a new "Dark" theme for Prosebox and need some adventurous souls to help me try it out. Just a few people to start, p...

One of the most common questions I see is "How do I put pictures in my entries?" Currently, there's no super-easy way to do this. It requires a little bit of knowledge about how images are sto...

Aaaaaaaggghhh! Google!! in Site Updates
I've noticed some recent concern about Google indexing public site content. (I, for one, welcome our not-so-new search overlords) To address this concern, I've created a robots.txt file. My un...
