Hi folks, the weekend is here and it’s time for the Friday update. Our tech team has been working on something major that we’re not quite ready to announce, so we’re a little bit light this week. We’ve got a few bug fixes to run through, and then I thought we’d start a discussion in lieu of any bigger platform news!
Big fixes and optimisations
Discord bot
JustAbot, our handy Discord bot, sends bounty updates right into your server (click here if you’d like to install it in yours!). A bug preventing these updates from being sent has now been fixed, and Discord command messages are now visible to everyone.
JAComposer
Fixed underline colour on links to match text. Numbered lists are now consistent between JAComposer and the rendered version.
General updates
Particular notifications that weren’t showing the correct time will now do so.
London Film and Comic Con bounties
Several bounties have gone up on the site this week in partnership with and celebration of London Film and Comic Con, which is happening in west London next weekend. You can learn more about the show and pick up tickets here, but you don’t need to be attending to get involved in the bounties! Check them out:
What would you do (or are you doing) at London Film and Comic Con?
Pitch a movie or TV show starring the actors attending London Film and Comic Con
Show us your celebrity autographs, selfies, and convention merch!
What makes a spoiler?
Since Summer Game Fest earlier this month, we’ve been thinking about an age-old debate: spoilers in game and film trailers. Where’s the line between showing just enough to get fans excited, and showing spoilers? And where’s the line when it comes to sharing recommendations, reviews, summaries and so on on platforms like Just About?
What do you think about the various solutions that are available to these risks, such as spoiler boxes or more robust content filtering? Are they too heavy-handed or do they help preserve the magic? Are there similar features you’ve seen that could help, or perhaps there’s another way to use spoiler tags to hide certain content?
Let us know in the comments…but no spoilers!
