We have released a great new feature: Message Introduction.
Your Message Introduction appears to users in the moment they are about to compose their first message to you.
With this, you can let users know what type of private conversations you are interested in having or what you are not, what they can expect when contacting you, or anything else on your mind.
• [b]Privacy Improvements[/b]
You can now make messages from [b]Users who you have Muted[/b] be sent to your [u]Messages Requests[/u], unless you already have a conversation with them in your Inbox.
This is a new option in your "Filter Messages" settings (accessible through your Messages page). ☑ Users who I have Muted
In addition, if you want to move a conversation from your [u]Inbox[/u] to your [u]Messages Requests[/u], there is now a new button [b]Ignore Messages[/b] that does that:
Contrariwise, you can also move messages from your [u]Messages Requests[/u] to your [u]Inbox[/u]:
[big]• Remove Followers 🔒[/big]
You can now remove Followers.
Removing a user from Followers will also [u]restrict the user[/u] from following you again.
If you want to allow that user from following you in the future, you can remove the block very easily, so that they can follow you again: https://similarworlds.com/settings-blocked-followers
• [b]A few other Improvements to Friends lists[/b]
- We now show the user names instead of "SW User", if the user has canceled their profile and they are still on your Friends list (only you can see the real name).
- You can now see the time at which someone Followed you, or when you Followed someone, in your Friends/Followers lists.
[big]• New Image Max-Size 🏖🏝🌄[/big]
We have increased our maximum image/photo size from 650x600 to [b]720x720[/b].
This allows our users to upload bigger photos to Similar Worlds, improving the quality of the images shown on posts and messages.
[big]• Other Relevant Improvements 🛠 [/big]
• We are now line-breaking big links on posts, to make them easier to select and copy.
• Loads of improvements to the popup position and size, especially when the keyboard opens. (a good example is the Insert Image popup, which we found a bit dificult to use on Mobiles)
• We don't allow posting nested replies on a Comment from someone that is blocked, anymore.
• The "Show Less" (of a user) action can now be found through the Profile button: "Mute/Block/Report".
• Multiple improvements to Scrolling and Navigation on SW.

Nuno (Hmm...almost Portuguese!). At any time, are the SW 'wizard texhnology team' considering removing the indicator bar which states that the message has been deleted? It tarnishes the post of the author and creates an impression that is not entirely favourable with the author's readership or the authors and authoresses. 'Newcomers' - as well as 'seasoned' authors - would be encouraged far more to create posts without the, often'obliterated, page-blemished and unsavoury remarks often scattered precariosly on that which they consider, rightly or wrongly, as 'their personal page'. It would be 'good for business' and perpetuate a far more constructed 'environment' amongst the authors and authoresses. Oh, and can we have a more regal robot. Perhaps, something like this:-
@EugenieLaBorgia yea I get what your saying leaving all the deleted status bars on your posts doesn’t really make it appear any better for the author much less those that reply to the post . I gotcha .
@Highonheels Yes and those who like to disrupt the posts intentionally do not have the pleasure to see their 'marks of mischief' displayed on the post itself. Those who have that malevolent intent to disrupt view these marks as though they were 'trophies'. It becomes an, almost, pathological desire to accrue such marks which, in their turn, encourage the miscreants to be even more disruptive. Authors and authoresses may liken it to those foregone days where ink and blotting-paper were used; nothing is worse than seeing words, often, thoughfully-composed, covered in ink blots. A well-presented script creates a healthy sense of literary accomplishment and encourages the writer to create more. I, for one, have no qualms in witnessing my comments - which some may find inappropriate - removed from their posts or comments. Refining the site, honing our emotional responses and our manner of literary expression creates a stimulating environment rather than one where 'internet sedition' is, sometimes, anticipated by authors and authoresses. In the corporeal world, our choices to impact on our societies are often curbed through the sheer number of opinions and actions, each, in their own turn, clamouring for some tiny shred of sinewy recognition. Here, on this site, our 'world' is more insular creating a greater cohesion amongst members and giving them the ability to impact on the course of the existence of that world with greater purpose and clarity. Finally: "You just gotta love that robot!!"
