    Just did some cool upgrades to the mobile version of the board. Now your device will remember which version of the site you used the last time you visited, and will give you that version again the next time you visit. So if you're one of the people who don't like the mobile version of the site, now you can just tap the "Switch to full style" button, and it'll switch to the full version and stay that way until you delete cookies from your device, or until you tap the "Switch to mobile style" button.

    Zoomable images now have a little magnifying glass icon above them, indicating that you can tap on the smaller image and see the full-size version, and tap again to make them small again. Unfortunately images inside "spoiler" tags still won't resize properly in the mobile version, but there's nothing I can do about that right now.

    The last minor change, but one that I'm excited about, is that the little pop-up menus in the mobile version work better now, and all have a little X button in the bottom right corner to close them. It was definitely a hassle trying to get those little menus to close sometimes.

    The board is going to have some downtime at some point in the next couple weeks. There's a new update to the software that needs to be installed. I'll let everyone know when that's going to be so they can be prepared for the (probably short) downtime. :)

    Do you guys care to have me keep letting you know about changes that are made?

    Any idea why some images continually don't show up on Firefox? I have noticed this often, but in particular (as an example) with the stuff posted on Hirota's blog.

    That's not a Firefox issue, it happens on Safari as well. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    It used to happen a lot with photos posted on Blogspot, but I don't think that happens as much anymore.
