Hello guys. Just want to let you know that we're constantly trying to get better at this -- trying to constantly upgrade and improve the frontend as well as backend.

For frontend, thanks for the feedbacks, we have fixed a bunch of nuances like font color/background color on copy/paste issues across different themes. Adjusted alignments and some gui issues.

We also added watermarking on our images, this way images you share in HB does not get copied so easily. We are also in the process of adding some additional settings as we go along. These include switching the integrated GIF to GIPHY from Tenor (Yes you can add GIFs directly from HB). Adding more detailed reactions, image compression via subscription and integration to kraken.io (should further speed up site and images), and eventually adding CDN delivery and redundancy.

For backend, we have streamlined backup, doing an rsync to another external machine. We will also be making additional backup modifications for incremental backups and multiple backups so we have multiple snapshots we can revert to if need be. We also added additional security where we cross reference signups across multiple blacklists and SBLs to mitigate spam.

Lastly, we are planning more raffles after the next one completes.

Thank you again for being a huge part of HB.

I have no idea what most of that means but because I don’t understand what it means, I’ll take it as very important stuff that keeps making this place great

Keep up the good work! What’s been done here in a few days is 1000x’s better than others that took months.

Brilliant idea on "copy writing" our photos with watermarks @muscles. I've got to admit it's getting better. It's getting better all the time.
Thank you. We're still trying to optimize a lot of things. Glad you guys are liking the changes.

As someone said before me, this forum really is a joy to browse and use. For sentimental reasons I'm attached to RWI but it's been 2 months and counting and, FOR ME, it's still unusable and a far cry from being back - about to give up on them; so keep up with it
