Chats changes
- CHATS NOW ACTUALLY WORK! Sorry for you being unable to create chats for the past day, but this issue has now been fixed
- Chats are a little more compact now, so they hopefully don't feel as weird
- Chats no longer refresh the page every time a message is sent/received
That's it for now! Please continue to report bugs and suggest features.
Rainbeam 1.7.0 (Threads)
- You can now go to "Share" on any response and press "Follow-up"
- You can now put the ID of a response in your replies to reply to them in a separate response
- Pressing "Follow-up" adds this to the question and makes it automatically do this when the question is answered
- Added some extra sharing options (Twitter)
- Increased sharing text from 240 characters total to 280
That's it for 1.7.0 (+ a bunch of bug fixes). Thanks!
Drawings Clarifications
Hey! Here’s some small clarifications as we refine the drawings feature:
- I will add undo/redo at some point!
- You can now download/upload images
- The image format has been updates to specify the width and height of the canvas that it the image was created in
- The maximum size for a drawing is 32kb (up from 8kb)
Thanks for testing drawings, I’ll continue to make it better from here but I’m happy with what we have right now!
Also if you read all of this, you can play with drawings at https://neospring.org/site/fun/carp!
I was wondering for the report stuff if the people at hand could get some detail when a harmful report gets processed? I know people can get petty and report for no reason I'm not sure if there's successful processing like other platforms where something actually harmful gets taken down and noticed but I've been getting some pretty nasty anonymous asks full of slurs and just disgusting language so I wanted to know if it was possible that when something gets to that point if the reporter could get info like country of origin's information like that Ive just been dealing with a lot of ex relationships harassing me
Yes, questions that are reported will have the sender's account deleted, and their IP address banned if applicable. IP addresses are included with all questions, even anonymous. This allows us to catch users going anonymous or users that never had an account.
Nearly every type of content is reportable in some way, although some reports may take us awhile to process. It is recommended that you include an email in your reports, but we'll likely begin automatically including your account ID when you report.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there anyway to embed this site to another website? i wanted to add it to my neocities website :^)
Hey it would be cool if notifications saved in their location even when marking as read until we delete it,, unless ofc it takes up too much storage space! Just so we dont lose comment threads by marking as read and such!
hi! my friend got his profile all set up but for some reason i can't ask well... asks. this is what it says: Nothing with this path exists or you do not have access to it! he hasn't changed anything that could possibly mess with the asks as far as we're aware. any way to fix or change this?
i tried to send myself a question (while being logged out) to see how it looks like (anon pfp) but its written "Nothing with this path exists or you do not have access to it!" is there any problem with the ask option? because i allow anon asks!
Me and some other users have been getting harrassed by an anon, the first time he sent us a weird rentry depicting sexual themes, the second time he sent us an ao3 (which i'm not gonna read, so i'm assuming) it depicts of sexual themes. Are you able to do anything about this? -🐟
hi, would there be a way to back up previous curiouscat asks exported as json (https://pastebin.com/Q20ZE5eP) and import them into neospring since it's shutting down very soon?
hi spark ! i am the anon that sent the ask reporting the lack of response to me trying to change my username. i tried again, the issue still persists, however i was trying to think up some sort of way to overcome this as i have a chronic retheme addiction & being inable to change my username was driving me mad. i went incognito, logged into neospring (while still incognito), & the issue resolved itself. i have yet to test around & see if itll work now even off incognito, but the point is the issue is resolved now.
i dont have any experience with coding or how this site would even work, so i was wondering if you yourself had any idea what lead to this & how being incognito fixed it? all good if your clueless, im just a curious gal.
Please teach me how to input images for pfp & banner? I've tried many times, but still failed 😭
Hai .. Would you ever consider making a list of the css that can be used to customize ur profile ?
hi spark ! when i try to change my username , nothing happens . my view is moved to the top of the settings page but their is no success or error notification, its just .. nothing . it doesnt update anything , either . this happens on my alt account aswell .
Hello! I hear other people are wanting the same thing to, but would it be possible to add an option in your settings that either doesnt allow you to check a blocked users profile, or allows you to check a blocked users profile? I don’t know much about wrbsite coding, if anything, but theres a suggestion! -🐟
Session question asking bug has been fixed, sorry for the inconvenience!
For those interested, an explanation is available below.
Neospring uses Turbo to fetch pages on click and replace the current HTML document, so the site feels smoother and like a SPA. The issue is the script
tag that handles the ask
function for profiles used a const
variable in it. When Turbo would update the page, the new version of the script would fail to overwrite the ask
function because it could not update the value of a constant.
The fix was as easy as updating one line.
Thanks for being patient! (also brought back shadows on responses)
Sorry , when I press enter once while trying to make a new line specifically on my bio it doesn't work and I have to press enter twice .. Is this intentional ?
spark why is it when I block someone , I cant even view their page at all. I do not like this
That is how blocking works in most places. You do not need to view their profile at all if you have blocked them, that is the point. Blocking somebody means you want nothing to do with them at all, you should not want to view their profile or anything about them if you have blocked them. That is implied.
I'll reconsider if enough people want it, but this is also the solution that most people preferred for blocking!
Hey, I've noticed the share function only shares the first line of text, when Twitter can handle a lot more, which makes it so I have to tediously copy ask and answer to fill everything in. Could you make it so it works like on retrospring, where what's copied/shared is the most Twitter can post, and messages above the character limit for Twitter get abbreviated with a little … character?
I'll up it to 280 characters (+40 characters). The function I wrote for this just takes two different parts of text and then combines them with a link and figures out how long each segment can be to fit within the target character range. I can likely also add a way for you to manually set the character amount.
Hi, I’m so sorry if this is the wrong place to put this here, but I’ve made two neospring accounts in attempt to get rid of this “You cannot access this resource” message but it won’t go away no matter what. I’m not sure what to do as even deleting my account wouldn’t work cause it said the same message again. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue, but can you please look into it?
hi! i tried to change the image for my header and when i pasted the link and pressed save, suddenly every field on the profile customization went black and i can't change anything anymore :( even if i press save, the fields go back to being blank and they won't be saved. the css for the colors of my profile also shows at the bottom of the page. could this be a bug? thank you for this awesome app and i hope you have a great day!!
no idea if a concept like this even works but on tumblr there's the option to respond to asks privately and they won't appear on timelines and your profile, would that be possible to implement here, or nah?
Can u not do mandatory nsfw warnings please… keep it only for global posts i dont want it on my profile its the expected stuff here
thinking about getting an app soon??? _
Not really an “app” since I don’t have the time to maintain a website, IOS codebase, and Android codebase.
I’m going to make the site more PWA accessible so it will feel more like an app (allows you to add to homescreen). I just need to finish doing the manifest!
Hi spark! Thank you for creating and sharing this website, it’s very cute and easy to use!
I wanted to ask if there was a plan to have the option to restrict public view from minors? I’m an adult and while I don’t post NSFW content, I would be more comfortable if they didn’t see my account/posts… 🥹
hello there way i can report few accounts?? there group of people who trying to harass me and already blocked their accounts but im very scared because they already looked up on old pictures of me on my family members account (in Instagram) and they using my deadname as making fun of me and i love using its website and i dont want to feel unsafe here
is there a reason the shadow's option only works for pfp and banners now instead of post's and responses? it used to be really helpful when theme's had the same colours for the bg and reponse/question cards
hey spark!! is there a way i can change the capitalization of my username without having to change my user twice T_T i rlly wanna have @Batman instead of @batman
