Redesign and Board Admin Tools

We've put some work into the Qotr design to help new users find their way around the site a little bit easier.

We're also about to release settings to allow administrators to whitelist or blacklist members by email. This should be finalized within the next couple days.

Beta Has Begun!

To officially call Qotr "Beta" instead of just "Alpha", which to us was a baseline level of functionality and stability, we completed the following:

• Uploading custom CSS for member-made boards (check your board settings!)
• Updating board settings for admins
• Mod/Admin ability to delete quotes
• Ordering of quote lists by date or score
• Fixed bugs in paging (IE) and subdomains with spaces
• Listing and searching quote boards
• Settings mods/admins for boards

We also got ahead of ourselves and implemented some level of spam protection thanks to Akismet, and commenting through Disqus. Before we call our release final, we want to implement subscribing to boards, "follow" lists for members, and fix up our exernal API and allow Facebook / Google / etc logins.

Public Service Announcement: Browsers

We added a list of officially supported browsers to the help page. We try to make qotr.net available everywhere, but we don't specifically test in every browser. We officially test in Chrome latest, Firefox latest, and the latest Lynx. Yes, the text browser.

Alpha Opened

We have enough features (and stability) to be alpha! Make an account, register boards, upboat things, etc.
