Site Maintenance & Affiliate

It appears that whenever I step away from the site for several weeks, minor issues tend to arise. Recently, both the guestbook and contact form experienced functionality problems. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who reached out via email regarding these issues. The guestbook form displayed a blank page upon submission, which has now been resolved with a quick fix. Additionally, the contact form has been temporarily downgraded to PHP 7.4 while I explore a permanent solution or identify a compatible script for PHP 8. Beyond these technical updates, submissions on Exvius and Cloudplane have been processed as usual.

Affiliate Update
I am also pleased to announce a new affiliate: Erika of Cloud Illusions. Her fansites are highly recommended and provide engaging, well-crafted content. I encourage all visitors to explore her work.

This wraps up July's update. Further updates will be shared in due course.



Network Updates

In the past couple of days, I’ve focused on fixing a few things around the network, primarily backend coding and adjustments that have been bothering me for a while. I’ve also taken the time to read up on some CSS tutorials, which I plan to implement during the next layout change for either Enamour or Aelysia. Stay tuned for those updates. In case you're interested, I've added the link via Memento.
    Accessibility Improvements
  • Cliques – A new page has been added to my domain specifically for cliques/webrings/etc. I didn’t want to overcrowd my index page, as I strive to keep that area minimalistic and focused on faster loading times for everyone.
  • Navigation – The joined fanlistings and guestbook links have been removed from the navigation and added to the index page. Additionally, the contact form link is now placed in the main navigation for easier access.

  • Fanlisting Updates
  • Donation – A hide/show feature has been implemented for specific fields to appear for new donors.

  • Miscellaneous Updates
  • News Script – A snippet of my three most recent update log entries has been added to my domain's front page, so I no longer need to manually update the index page each time a new update is posted.
  • Coding – The HTML <optgroup> tag has been implemented to better group options in dropdown menus, offering a cleaner structure rather than using &nbsp; within the <option> tag.



Upgrade to PHP 8.2

The network has now been fully updated to PHP 8.2, with all previously reported errors addressed. While this update resolves the majority of issues, it is possible that minor bugs may still appear. Users are encouraged to report any issues they encounter.

The guestbook has been upgraded to its latest version. In addition, Cerine has kindly provided a refreshed layout for the guestbook. Taking advantage of this update, I have reorganized both the content and the underlying code, ensuring improved structure and maintainability. With these changes, no major updates to depreciated code should be required for approximately the next two years.
