A real update! Holy wow. in Site Updates

OK, so I’ve fixed some rather nefarious behavior and added one minor feature…
First, the fix. The book save behavior was not working as it should, particularly for people who like to use different privacy levels in the same book. Whether or not you changed the privacy level of the book, any time you saved any changes to the book (like updating the description), it would reset all of the entries in that book to the default privacy level.
That is now fixed.
Also, when you do change the privacy level of a book and save it, it will only change the privacy level of entries matching the old privacy level. Which I think would be the expected behavior.
So for example, let’s say you have a Friends Only entry and a Private entry inside a Public book. All of the other entries are default Public. You decide you want to go Members Only, so you change it and save the book. Now your book is Members Only, and so are all of the entries that were Public. However, the Friends Only and Private entries remain unaffected.
And the minor enhancement:
There has been no way to put a link to a Youtube video on Prosebox. Dropping in the Youtube URL automatically embeds the video. If you just want the link, you can do this:
<a href="https://YOUTUBE-VIDEO-LINK-HERE" target="_blank">My video!</a>
Notice the target="_blank" part. That’s the magic HTML sauce (and you have to use HTML rather than Markdown).
The result is:
Kind of a hack, but the best I can come up with based on how the Youtube embed works.
Oh yeah, and people keep asking me about the ads. I turned them back on a while back but I guess I forgot to post an update. I expect there to be a subscription option added this year, but for now the ad revenue is nice. :)

Was wondering about the ads just figured I was on the crazy train

Now I want Mongo DB and I don't even know what Mongo DB is.

Still ads are fine but the videos drive me crazy, especially when I accidentally roll over them.

Yay! Thank you!

Don't worry about the ads. You get that money, son! Though I may well subscribe when the time comes. Since were friends and all.
TruNorth ⋅ February 27, 2015
I don't mind the ads as they are currently placed. I will be interested in a subscription. I want the site to provide the owner with income so the site will be worth maintaining - so ads and/or subscriptions that provide adequate money is fine with me.

i don't usually pay attention to the ads. so, if they give you revenue, keep the ads. take care,

I LOVE that the YOUTUBE link comes up in separate tab. Thank you!!

Eh. Adblock does the job nicely.
I was wondering if you were going to make a mobile app, or at least a mobile version of the site. It looks bloody horrendous on my mobile device.

Weird. It's fine on mine!

I suspect your idea of fine and my idea of fine are two different animals.

What device are you using? I've never tried it on my 4" phone, but it's great on my 7" tablet. If I recall correctly the design is intended to work on mobile already and there is no plan for a separate version.

iPod touch. I'm unable to change my profile picture which is annoying as hell.

I would pay a reasonable subscription fee for a kickass site. So far, so good! Adblock plus may be the new norm?
simple mind Neogy Titwhistle ⋅ March 01, 2015
Thanks! I don't think Adblock will ever become prevalent enough to kill web advertising. Although it is interesting to consider what would happen if ads became no longer viable on the web. I think the vast majority of copycat sites would die, and the remaining higher quality sites would become very exclusive and cater to a subscription crowd.

Ads? What ads? halo
Regardless I am interested in a subscription function just to support the site. However, I wish you implemented it earlier, because I have less money now. Hopefully I can still afford it.
How did the book privacy change function before? I noticed a few entries I meant to be private were at other settings in a book I often toggle from members only to public. I thought I made a mistake, but maybe not?
simple mind synapse ⋅ March 08, 2015
It was reverting all entries back to the book privacy level when you saved a change to the book (any kind of change).

I know {Now} that one can change the ads one sees but I have only just found this out so I gleefully getting rid of all the ads that try to get me to buy yet again all the things I have already bought! Of course, I am not always thrilled by what I get in its stead which means I am looking forward to giving you money in exchange for no ads!
Hm, right now, I am being bombarded with ads trying to sell me windows. {Note, no capital letter!}
