First off, a big thank you for your patience during this morning’s brief, scheduled maintenance! We appreciate your understanding as we continue making improvements to enhance your experience.

 

Here are some of the latest updates:

🔹 Hardened Blocks – Blocked users will no longer see you in Online Now, Last Online, or Member Search, and vice versa—unless searched by name. Users who have blocked you won’t appear on your blog feed, while those you’ve blocked will still appear unless you manually remove them by clicking the down arrow on their post and selecting 'Hide Blog'

🔹 HEIC Image Support – Uploading images just got easier! We now support HEIC image files, which means Android and iPhone users can upload photos directly without needing to convert them first.

🔹 Crypto Payments – We’ve added support for cryptocurrency payments, providing more flexibility for those who prefer alternative payment options.

🔹 Text Chat in Video Calls – Need to share a quick message while on a video call? You can now send text chats directly within video calls for a smoother communication experience.

🔹 Find Friends Update – We’ve adjusted our Find Friends search to prioritize Premium members, helping everyone discover and connect more easily.

 

As always, we’re committed to making the platform better for everyone. Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for more updates!

 

Until next time...

K y i v - I think the users online should also prioritize premium members.

dollMaker​(dom male) - Does the HEIC Image Support, strip meta data from the photos, or do those uploading have to do that before uploading?

It's a shame Blocked people don't vanish completely off the platform, so they are no longer visible anywhere.

SubmissiveScorpion​(sub female)​{Ascending} - Couple questions:

With the hard block, will blocked users be able to see your likes/comments on other blog posts?

Is it the same for forum posts?

Not going to lie, that’s a game changer for many of us on here so thank you for that update.

K y i v - Scorp. I have found that a premium blocked user can still add you to their contact list and stalk away.

SubmissiveScorpion​(sub female)​{Ascending} - 🙄 Lovely.

I’ll take it as a small win then to no longer be activated by the “online now” page…

Cage Monkey​(staff) - Good point, thank you for bringing it to our attention! As of now blocked users and blocking users do not appear in the contact list and it is not possible to add blocked or blocking users to it. 😉

Cage Monkey​(staff) - We would like to keep public content public to all - in forums, profiles, blog and chat - so readers would not feel excluded or that they are seeing only part of the picture / conversation.

Another important reason for that is for users to be able to keep an eye open on what their ex could be saying about them.

The purpose of this change is for users not to be reminded of users they have blocked all the time but also not to remind users they have blocked about them with every activity they do on the site.
