It's been a while since the last site news. Let's see what's been happening!

FightPedia

I am looking for FightPedia editors! FightPedia is a "wiki" for MeetFighters, concentrating on topics related to combat sports and the site itself. I consider it an experiment in collaborative editing. Let's see how it goes! For now, it is completely empty except for some placeholder pages. It's up to YOU (as in, every member of this site) to make it something great.

If you want to contribute and shape FightPedia, please drop a comment below. Do explain what it is that you want to add or change.

FightPedia is available for preview here.

Mobile App

Work has began on a MeetFighters Mobile App targeting the Android and iOS platforms. The app itself is in very early stages of development, largely in a pre-alpha, proof-of-concept state. I expect to see a first release sometime around mid-April. More information will be coming early April.

We are not yet ready for an alpha test, but post a comment if you have ideas for mobile app features.

New Messaging Page

I am working on a new messaging code, something cleaner and more streamlined than what we have now. There is a beta version for the adventurous here. It has most basic features in place, but lacks that certain spit and polish.

Check it out if you dare! :)

XXX Gallery

I am considering the option of posting photos that are not family friendly in profile galleries. There is obviously some demand for this sort of attraction. On the other hand, there is a risk that too much sugar could attract folk who are not interested in fighting.

Before I commit to this, I want to ask Your opinion on the matter!

Would you like to see XXX photos in profile galleries?

• Allow XXX photos in profile galleries
• Don't allow XXX photos in profile galleries
• I don't know

Would you post your XXX photos in your profile gallery?

• I would post my XXX photos.
• I would not post my XXX photos.
• I don't know

Miscellaneous

Behind the scenes, a lot of improvements went into the site code:

• New photo and video upload code that leverages new features in web browsers.
• Lots of code cleanup and optimization.
• Reinstated the CloudFlare CDN for faster page load times globally.
• The number of unread messages is shown in the page title. You can see when you have new messages with a glance at your browser's tab bar!
• Some usability enhancements for the Help and Support page.
• The search results and user list have expandable parts for accessing the dialog, sending a new message, etc.
• Your private notes can be sorted by country.
• The dialog page is broken into multiple pages if you have exchanged over 100 messages with someone. It's not unheard of...
