Updates, Downtime, & Playtime

Greetings fellow enthusiasts!

We have another update... As you may notice the navigation bar is once again home for requests.php, collages.php, and top10.php. As such requests are no longer allowed in the forums and must be created by using the requests.php section. Improvements to torrents, metadata, and fetching info are still underway. The torrents.php should once again have full functionality. Thus you should now be able to search for all your torrents.php. For older torrents please use the "title search" field, and for newer torrents the field "tags" or "search terms" are much more efficient.

Search Terms will search in the description, media info, and tags. Hence going forward, tags will be very important for all torrents. As our systems and parser improves, we will automagically be able to add more and more tags. The rest will be minor manual tagging by staff, FLS, and volunteers.

There have previously been attacks on MTV in regards to brute forcing user accounts. We understand this was filling up user inboxes with a massive amount of PMs. As such we have made it easier to delete private messages. In the past you could only delete 25 at a time. We have now given three options; 25, 50, or 100 messages per page. Thus you can now delete up to 100 PMs at once! This setting is found in your user settings page under "Private Messages Per Page". Goodbye pesky reseed alerts   Just kidding, those help everyone so it's nice to check them out and reseed when possible.

Last but not least... As you may have noticed we recently had some downtime, which was due to an unforeseen circumstance with a part of our infrastructure. Replacement hardware had a minor delay and after trying our best to restore we ended up having to completely redeploy some of our front-end servers. We have since increased our monitoring in an effort to prevent a re-occurrence and we would like to thank everyone for their patience well we were offline.

PS: Always remember to report any bugs you find during your site visits. The more information we have, the more we can debug and improve our home.
