Stashbox and Shup Site Updates July 31
After ignoring the site for a while, I decided to dive in and update a bunch of things tonight.
For example, since the launch of this version of the site, I found it brutishly irksome that files downloaded from Stashbox didn’t cache. This means that if you’re viewing a thread on a forum full of images hosted on Stashbox, every time you load that page, the images would re-download; I knew there had to be a better way. So from now on, things will be much more responsive and less bandwidth will be wasted. Woot!
Problem number two was pointed out by Sensei Tim. In a semi recent conversation, he put forth that once one had left the Stashbox homepage, there was no clear way to upload another file. Thus the addition of the upload form to every page (right under the header) is justified and people will be able to upload with more efficiency.
Updating the search engine began as a simple menu change: I wanted to change/add menu items and this required me to jump into the search engine code. Once there, I decided to enhance it a bit. Move your mouse over the “Search Uploads” link on the right side of the page for more information!
A few CSS and other layout changes later, and I am ready to take a break. Oh, and I updated the stats page a few days ago; it’s niftier now.
Adios!
