Welcome to uncle Joni's travel stories
Unfortunately I've been really busy lately with my Master's thesis and there haven't been any updates here. I haven't forgotten about the page though, and I'll add short stories of Spain and Italy before long!
I should also get a new Internet connection with massively improved upload capacity next week. After the upgrade the load times especially for pictures should decrease drastically.
It's been silent here for a too long time now. I finally finished the report for my Easter visit to Ukraine. The peak list is also updated with a few new mountains I climbed this autumn. I'll write short stories of those trips eventually!
Once again I've done a lot for the page, and the end users can't notice it! Anyway it should be a lot easier for me to make changes to the page, and the database has been re-designed almost completely.
It's quite likely that something is broken so let me know as soon as you notice something out of ordinary!
The server these pages are on has been updated now. The old server was a 700 MHz Athlon from the year 2000, and the currect one is 3500+ Athlon 64 with two gigabytes of ram. Especially the gallery should work a lot faster than before. Let me know of any malfunctions you might encounter!
The edit button for comments has changed a bit. You can now edit a comment by pressing a small edit icon that is located next to the header.
I added one more feature for the comments. The comments section has its own paging now. This might not be so necessary at the moment but with more comments coming in it's nicer to be able to only load a some of them at a time. The comment limit per page is set to six for testing purposes. Please test if the paging works and report any bugs to me. Thank you for your assistance! You can check the paging for example on the bottom of this home page.
I added a couple of new features for the site, and they are both connected to commenting. First one of them makes it possible to add empty lines to your comments so that you can actually write paragraphs instead of just a huge chunk of text. Empty lines can be added simply by pressing enter :).
The other feature lets people, who have signed up and logged in, edit the comments they have written in the past. There's an "Edit comment" link under each comment you have written, and by pressing that you will be taken to the editing page. You might find the feature handy should you ever make mistake you want to fix.
Believe it or not, but the report for Asia is ready! I might still be adding a few paragraphs here and there when something new comes to mind, but it's done anyway! I'm sure there are spelling errors and grammar mistakes so please tell me about them so I can fix them!
Now go and read the story! I hope you all will like it!
The security updates are done. Let me know if you notice something that doesn't work properly!
Thanks to Julia for reporting a bug :)!
I'm making some security updates for the page. I hope this won't be affecting the users! When I'm done, the page should be safer against hackers and ready for bigger audience ;).
Comments
Let's hope the possibility for editing comments will make people comment more as they don't have to be afraid of mistakes anymore :).
