I spent the last day almost solidly working on rewriting the backend system for comments. Most of it is, obviously, transparent to you guys. The only substantial difference is that blog comments now don't suck(tm). Please let me know if anything breaks because there's a good chance I slipped up somewhere with such a huge rewrite.

Just a couple of things I wanted to point out quickly.

RSS Feeds

Firstly, I've added a couple of RSS feeds to the site. More will be on the way but right now there's 2 you can use.
Tracked Stories: This is a feed for all the stories you're tracking, showing you when they update. You can find the link on the tracking page or the dashboard.

Hey guys, we're working on a new FAQ page. You can see it at http://www.fimfiction.net/faq.

The old one was horribly outdated, and had wrong information which was actually worse than it not being there at all! I've tried to add all the questions I could think of that I've received several times, so what I want to know from you guys is what else would you liked to see answered on there, and if you have any further suggestions for what to do with it.

So as some of you probably noticed, we took away the related stories feature for a little while. We didn't remove it, we were just improving it. The old related stories were dumb and bad, and they probably killed an orphan or something. We decided to do something about it by dragging the old feature out back Old Yeller style, and giving it a makeover!

EDIT: We added a "Human" category for Human in Equestria fics and Humanized fics and any other fics that have humans in them. Use it!

Chances are if you're reading this, you're either happy with the new like/dislike system or raging furiously about how I've ruined everything good about the site while trying to find my address to send me pitchforks in the mail. So, I thought I'd explain things a little bit, and show you my justifications for the redesign.

Our second Vault entry and author highlight is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be an earth pony and how their inherent magic affects their world.

As a heads up, I recently re-enabled the passwords system for stories for the current layout. If you want people to see your story before it's been published (like EqD pre-readers) you'll need to fill in the "view password" field and tell the people who want to see it that password.
