* On the "Certification Required" error page: show help text under the
checklist to make it clear that clicking the checklist item will link
to the profile photo or cert photo upload page.
* Add more helpful text around the site to address common confusion:
* On the Photo Upload page for profile_pic and the user is already at
quota: add special text saying they can use an existing gallery
photo as their profile pic instead.
* On the self Gallery view page: if the user has no profile pic
currently set, offer advice and links on how to set one.
* Fix the image max-width on Gallery lightbox modals
* Add an Alt Text field for users to describe their photos for accessibility.
* Alt texts appear on mouse over on Gallery pages, in the lightbox modal (on
mouse over or by clicking the ALT button that appears), and in a box on the
permalink page below the photo caption.
* Max length of Alt Text is 5,000 characters.
* Fix a bug with the right-click blocker not working on the lightbox modal.
* On a user gallery page: if the current user can not see their default
profile pic (friends-only or private), include a notice and link to
the FAQ about this.
* Add a new placeholder avatar for profile pics that are set to
"Inner circle only" when viewed by members outside the circle.
* Add a Search page to the forums to filter by user ID and find threads and
replies matching your search terms, with "quoted phrases" and -negation
support.
* On user profile pages, add an "Activity" box showing statistics on their
forum threads/comments, likes given/received, photo counts, etc.
* On the "Newest" and Search page for Forums: show an indicator whenever a
post includes an attached photo.
* Add endpoint /go/comment?id= that finds the right page that a comment
can be seen on for the current user and redirects there.
* Resolves issues with link discrepancies in comment notifications, if
the recipient sees different page numbers depending on blocklist
status.
* Supports copyable permalinks to any comment on the site reliably.
* Add a way for users to temporarily deactivate their accounts, in a
recoverable way should they decide to return later.
* A deactivated account may log in but have limited options: to
reactivate their account, permanently delete it, or log out.
* Fix several bugs around the display of comments, messages and
forum threads for disabled, banned, or blocked users:
* Messages (inbox and sentbox) will be hidden and the unread indicator
will not count unread messages the user can't access.
* Comments on photos and forum posts are hidden, and top-level threads
on the "Newest" tab will show "[unavailable]" for their text and
username.
* Your historical notifications will hide users who are blocked, banned
or disabled.
* Add a "Friends" tab to user profile pages, to see other users' friends.
* The page is Certification Required so non-cert users can't easily
discover any members on the site.
New feature: User Notes
* Add a "Notes" tab to user profile pages and galleries.
* Users can create one private note about another user.
* Admins can see all notes left about a user.
* Admins also see Feedback & Reports regarding the user on that page.
Bring back the online chatters list
* The Usernames are filtered down based on blocklist status.
Add a permission system for admin users so you can lock down specific admins to
a narrower set of features instead of them all having omnipotent powers.
* New page: Admin Dashboard -> Admin Permissions Management
* Permissions are handled in the form of 'scopes' relevant to each feature or
action on the site. Scopes are assigned to Groups, and in turn, admin user
accounts are placed in those Groups.
* The Superusers group (scope '*') has wildcard permission to all scopes. The
permissions dashboard has a create-once action to initialize the Superusers
for the first admin who clicks on it, and places that admin in the group.
The following are the exhaustive list of permission changes on the site:
* Moderator scopes:
* Chat room (enter the room with Operator permission)
* Forums (can edit or delete user posts on the forum)
* Photo Gallery (can see all private/friends-only photos on the site
gallery or user profile pages)
* Certification photos (with nuanced sub-action permissions)
* Approve: has access to the Pending tab to act on incoming pictures
* List: can paginate thru past approved/rejected photos
* View: can bring up specific user cert photo from their profile
* The minimum requirement is Approve or else no cert photo page
will load for your admin user.
* User Actions (each action individually scoped)
* Impersonate
* Ban
* Delete
* Promote to admin
* Inner circle whitelist: no longer are admins automatically part of the
inner circle unless they have a specialized scope attached.
The AdminRequired decorator may also apply scopes on an entire admin route.
The following routes have scopes to limit them:
* Forum Admin (manage forums and their settings)
* Remove from inner circle
* Add they/them as example pronouns on the Edit Profile page and make
the examples clickable to fill them in easily.
* When viewing a photo gallery and you opt-out of explicit, have a link
to your settings page to opt-in.
* Update the rules on the homepage and signup page.
* Add a notice on DM pages about the privacy policy and TOS.
