Poll system has been redone.

Poll creator has been completely redone and is now using html5 canvas technology. This dramatically speeds up the creation of polls particularly on low performance devices like smartphones.

Additionally new features have been prepped for the future.

Syling has also been done with the poll system and the way polls are treated on the server has been modified and future-ready for 4+ amount of possible poll answers.

When a poll is published from a 18+ club, it will be flagged and be filtered through Parental controls everywhere around the site.

Parental Controls

More improvements have been made for Parental Control support throughout the site.

Image Galleries (Pesonal and Clubs)

It is now possible to upload very large image files for support of 8k+ images as well as reasonably large gifs.

General Changes

Various styling changes have been made on all platforms.

Compression

I started to compress files that need it. It makes a huge difference but it really will only be noticable once I enabling caching. But there's so many changes to be made that I will only enable it when those things are complete. If you're curious, about 100kb of data has been removed per page.

Upcoming Update(s)

Thank you for your time and see you next update!

Today I turned my attention to fixing issues caused by removing embedded scripts and placing them in its own file. While this will dramatically speed up site load times and this will be even moreso when I enable caching (so you don't re-download every resource on each page load), it caused many problems.

This was expected but now every feature needs to be tested and fixed accordingly. Please let me know here or on Skype if I missed anything. Thank you!

Our ISP is experiencing technical difficulties which will make the site take longer than usual to download images and other data. Please bare with this. They said they will try to fix it within 24hrs.

More improvements will be made tomorrow and likely all issues will be corrected. Thank you for your patience!

I rewrote the image uploading software from the ground up!

- Supports custom thumbnail creation

- Supports zoom in / out and pan

- Supports filters (private beta)

- Much faster / responsive than the previous version

- Works with touscreen devices (let me know if it doesn't on yours)

Additionally I did some magic to make the site load much faster now.  Caching is still not enabled though (because that would make the site not work during heavy development)

Presently testing image upload feature for clubs / j-spot. There will be some bugs relating to the j-spot cover image, club covers, avatars and club banners. I am steadily adding compatibility to all of these with the new upload system. Should be ready tomorrow sometime.

Today I focused mainly on some crucial problems with the site. By crucial I mean iPhone users couldn't use the site until this update and parental controls not working as it should. Here's the list of what's new!

A patch has been applied to all of Jappleng where many "popup" containers would appear behind the darkening of the screen, making it impossible to view, create, or edit certain things.  This issue should be entirely resolved now. Sorry for the incovenience.

Areas which were affected the most:

View ID Card feature

New album / Image functions

Various confirmation screens.

Additionally, some issues where popup containers did not close after clicking on the dark space around it has been resolved.
