Minor font adjustments (Chrome/Windows users, any better?)
Made the fave star slightly more visible (more faves please!)
ESC key now does intelligent things on topic/comment/reply/flag/edit forms
Added staff badges for all Mediocre employees
Completely rewrote implementation for detection of which topics you've visited (slightly grayed out links on topic list page). No longer uses URL hacks, which allows us to have...
Added support for subscribing and unsubscribing to notifications from the topic details page
Added support for notifications when replies are added
Tweaked the notification emails slightly (kept topic title as subject to preserve mail client conversation views, placed content as high up as possible to help surface relevant bits in mail client previews, added unsubscribe link)
Added email to moderators when a flag has been added
Made the fave/like/vote star larger for @bluejester and @c
Updated mehdown with better support for blockquotes
Fixed issue with unintentional zoom when switching to landscape mode on iPhone
On mouse hover of "username says" text show topic creation date on the topic list page
Don't allow browsers to cache topic list page when clicking back button (fixes issue with color of visited links)
Prompt user if they unintentionally try to leave page in the middle of creating a new topic. Experimental. If this works well we will add to comments, replies, etc.
Renamed "reply" to "add a note" to hopefully better indicate that we're ideally not looking for a threaded conversation, but still wanted to provide a way for someone to provide a quick "thanks", or "worked for me", or "hey, looks like that link you posted is broken" without creating a new comment
Switched to Mavericks OS recently. My Mac informed me I no longer have an RSS reader, but Apple would be happy to sell me one at their App store. Suggestions?
@Thumperchick yeah, as I mentioned above it was experimental but we just had too many bugs logged against this feature so we recently removed it. maybe we'll bring it back in a future update if we can solve things like browser support issues, mobile and email issues, and corner cases like what to do with the forum's header image if the first image we find is inside a spoiler tag.
@shawn I know y'all like white space and all, but these forums are mad bright, yo. Even with my screen brightness down all the way, I keep waking up my wife. Maybe add an optional night mode that will toggle the background to black and text to white. You know, like a lot of GPS devices do so you don't have a bright display when driving at night. Thanks.
@spitfire6006006 They just added that feature this week! You can find more forum updates in the log over on meh. (The inverted color update is this comment.)
Added support for users to edit their own comments for up to 5 minutes (plus a 5 minute grace period)
Added support for notifications when an @username is mentioned in the topic title or body
Added support for YouTube video URLs, like this baby dancing to Beyonce:
Added experimental support for mouseover spoilers using the BBCode syntax [spoiler]Hello World[/spoiler ]
I say "experimental" because I'm not sure of the browser/mobile support and I'm not sure how we're going to handle this in email notifications.
Seems to work for images too:
[spoiler]

Do animated GIFs work too?

@shawn The pictures work perfectly in mobile (tap to go clear), but I couldn't seem to get the text to unspoil.
If an reply has spoilers, couldn't you set up a notification email that simply states "you have a reply that has a spoiler, click to read"?
Added support for Vimeo videos
@dave, how do the toname and fromname look in this email notification?
@shawn looking good! Still need to fix the urls for users, but otherwise I think it's set.

Messing around here first time, hit delete on comment same time you did this & forums went down.Thought it was me.=P.Glad it was you.
now i know, everyone will reply once before they see what the difference is..
i wonder why i get an email notification to these changelogs.. :)
@shawn, Thrilled to see the RSS feed! That makes following the forum a lot easier for me. Thanks!

@ceagee, Since Google Reader shut down I've been using Digg Reader
Thanks. I'll check it out.
Added a JSON feed if that's a thing you're into: https://mediocre.com/forum/topics.json
Awesome job on the color scheme. So much easier on my old eyes.
Added experimental support for embedded Tweets. Just copy/paste a Twitter status URL:
/status/408452069045968897">https://twitter.com//status/408452069045968897
https://twitter.com/%5F/status/408452069045968897
The underscore is problematic.
Good call. Glad I said "experimental"
Looks like all URLs with underscores are having issues. I've filed a bug with Pagedown: https://code.google.com/p/pagedown/issues/detail?i
Added support for SoundCloud URLs
Added
strikethroughsupport.Wrap your text with double tilde characters: ~~

Added Kickstarter embeds (thanks Amir): https://github.com/mediocre/mehdown/pull/10

@medz maybe one of these will help

@Ignorant Thanks, but I didn't see any mobile browsing solutions there.
@medz Must've listened, there's an option under 'my account' now

@Thumperchick heh, yeah I noticed after I posted here. Either way, just figured I'd mention it
