MeetFighters News

Hi everyone,

I would like to start with a big thank you to all the people who have helped me run this site. I'm thinking about the guys who have helped translate and are active on the Help and Support page. It takes a big burden off my shoulders and frees me up to improve the site!

So, starting this month, the top 5 supporters get a special medal on their profiles. It looks like a red gem with the AllFighters pictogram on it. (I will also be giving something similar to the localization team soon.) In addition to looking cool, the supporter medal grants all the little perks that donating members get.

Want to become a site supporter? If you are black or brown belt photo moderator, have at least 3 recommendation and willing to help the site, apply with management! :)

In other news:

• I have completed a big performance tuning on the site. It should be considerably snappier in those peak hours.
• E-mail notifications of messages are now limited to at most 1/hour.
• I started purging users who haven't logged in in over a year. This involves deleting their blogs, their profile data and other residuals. The end effect, in addition to freeing up some system resources is that these old profile names are again available and someone else can register them.
• Redesigned the Administration page, grouping all the options in three broad categories. This should make it a bit easier to find what you need. I also removed all these links from the "main" pages in the interest of cleaning up the interface a bit.
• I have split the list on the photo management page into four tabs (profile, private, gallery and unmoderated) to make it the interface a bit easier to understand. I also moved the photo upload form to a separate page.
• Fixed a bug that occasionally caused the unread message count to become negative.
• Lots of behind-the-scenes changes.
