TinglyTube Notices

TinglyTube Changelog | December 2020

Hey there, and welcome to our December 2020 Changelog!

We publish one of these notices/changelogs monthly so you know what has changed on TinglyTube over the last month, from features getting added to bugs being fixed, we'll list it all! But if you want to see these updates in realtime, you can check our profile wall as we sometimes post similar updates there, or check our Statuspage to see our current server status and any ongoing/past incidents, you can also follow our Twitter if you want, we're pretty active on there.

And now presenting our December 2020 Changelog!

• Error pages now give an actual explanation of the error, instead of the former generic ‘unexpected error’ explanation.
• Users must now verify their email address before making a blog entry just like they must do to upload a video or claim a custom shortlink, this is to help prevent automated/spam bots from signing up and making spam blog entries.
• The user edit profile page now includes a card at the bottom of the page asking you to consider donating if you like TinglyTube and are able to do so, which you are absolutely not required at all to do! TinglyTube will always remain FREE!
• Fixed the spacing between the dash in the homepage title. All of you perfectionists can now sleep without being kept awake due to that stray space...
  

but before we officially end this month's changelog, we'd like to take a moment and say thank you to the TinglyTuber who donated a total of $50.00 to us via our donation page, your donation is greatly appreciated and will help us continue to grow and expand!

Well, that's about everything we did in December 2020, we know it's a bit shorter than most of our other changelogs, but that doesn't mean TinglyTube won't keep improving, we've got a lot more planned for January and the rest of 2021 ;) Anyway, thanks for reading, and we hope to add many more features in the future to make your experience better! If you have any feedback, feature requests, or found a bug, don't hesitate to let us know via our Support/Feedback form, and we hope you have a Happy New Year ahead! 🎆 🎆 🎆

- Team TinglyTube.

Hey there, and welcome to our November 2020 Changelog!

We publish one of these notices/changelogs monthly so you know what has changed on TinglyTube over the last month, from features getting added to bugs being fixed, we'll list it all!

And now presenting our November 2020 Changelog!

• Emojis are now supported in most areas of the site, such as video titles, descriptions, tags, and comments, as well as blogs, blog titles, blog comments, and last but not least, private messages and search queries.
• Links in video descriptions, comments (video, blog, and wall), private messages, the website field in user profiles now hyperlink! (are clickable).
• Removed the Yandex.Translate widget from the 'Langage Selection' menu due to low usage and to save loading time. For more information on why we removed the Yandex.Translate widget, refer to this help article.
• Changed the color of the text in private messages for improved readability, especially on screens with high-brightness levels.
  
• Private videos no longer show on the homepage, but still currently show in site (not search engine) results.
  
• The Standards on the Community Standards page are now organized into 'cards' for a much neater look and easier readability instead of just plain bullet points.
• The last login date now shows a tooltip that explains that it may not be completely accurate (This is because it only shows the last time a user actually logged in after being logged out).

TinglyTube Changelog | October 2020

Hey there, and welcome to our October 2020 Changelog!

We publish one of these notices/changelogs monthly so you know what has changed on TinglyTube over the last month, from features getting added to bugs being fixed, we'll list it all! But if you want to see these updates in realtime, you can check our profile wall as we sometimes post similar updates there, or check our Statuspage to see our current server status and any ongoing/past incidents, you can also follow our Twitter if you want, we're pretty active on there.

And now presenting our October 2020 Changelog!

• Show/Hide Password feature added to the signup and edit profile page so you don’t get your password wrong.
• Username input on the signup page now limits you to fifteen alphanumeric characters and no-spaces so you’ll be able to pick a valid username the first time around.
  
• "Change password" inputs on the edit profile page no longer autofill on most browsers, so you won't accidentally trigger a password change when you try to edit your profile information and hit 'save'.
  
• User profile pictures are no longer cached (temporarily saved) on our servers, this way, they will instantly change when you upload a new one.
  
• Appeals form introduced so users can now appeal various different policy enforcement actions, such as video removals or account suspensions.
  
• Most images on TinglyTube now use lazy loading (don't load until you actually scroll to them) to save precious loading time, especially on mobile devices.
  
• “Print” option removed from the share video menu, because who in their right mind is going to print out the video viewing page?!
  
• TinglyTube is now registered as an online service provider with the US Copyright Office so that we now have 100% full safe-harbor protection against any copyright infringing content that our users may upload or link to.
  
• TinglyTube is now legally TinglyTube Media, LLC. a Michigan limited liability company with the ID number 802539685.
  
• Swapped out the boring, pixel-restricted, PNG version of our website logo with a new SVG one! SVGs don't have pixels, but instead are made using math, lines, and shapes, so they look perfect at any size! Including on a t-shirt or mug ;)
  
• The video upload progress bar is now animated with stripes!
• The maximum video file size increased to a full 2.99gb.
• Our main server upgraded yet again! With more memory, storage space, and better connection speed! This will be the last upgrade we do for a while!

Well, that's about everything we did in October 2020, so thanks for reading, and we hope to add many more features in the future to make your experience better! If you have any feedback, feature requests, or found a bug, don't hesitate to let us know via our Support/Feedback form.

We got significantly more stuff done than we did in August, so buckle up as we present our September 2020 Changelog!

• Added 'Send Feedback' button to the uploading page, so you can send feedback regarding the uploading process, or report any problems with it, right from the uploading page! More info here.
• Sign-Up/Login with Facebook feature added. This allows you to create a new TT account using your FB profile, or link your existing TT account with your FB profile.
  
• Subscribe button changes to grey on click when you subscribe, signifying that you're subscribed, without needing the page to reload or be refreshed.
• Got AT&T to unblock our servers' IP address, which was caused by bad-actors who had our IP address before us, who were sending spam. Users with AT&T owned/affiliated email addresses now receive email notifications from us.
• You'll now receive a notification email when someone comments on your wall.
  
• Upgraded our main server with more RAM/Memory (16gb) and Storage-space (400gb, 100% SSD) to handle more concurrent video uploads and users (better to plan for the future, and be safe, then sorry :)
  
• New shortlink of tingly.tube added, for a total of three shortlinks (tinglytu.be, tingles.cc, & tingly.tube).
  
• Donate via PayPal page added, which allows you to donate any amount you feel to us, which will greatly help us in continuing to operate TinglyTube for years to come :)
  
• "Claim a Custom Shortlink" feature added that allows all TinglyTube users to claim a custom shortlink that leads directly to their TT profile, using one of three shortlinks currently available. More info here!
  
• Community Standards introduced, which are just an extension of the acceptable use clause in our Terms and Conditions. They outline what behavior is acceptable on TinglyTube, and how we handle it.
  
• Video uploading FREE and OPEN to all! You no longer need to submit a form and wait for us to unlock uploading permissions for your account, all you need to do is verify your email address if you haven't already. So... why not upload something tingly?! ;) -> https://www.tinglytube.com/upload/video
