Fix

We have fixed a problem that many of you have brought to our attention - you will no longer be sent back to the top of the page when going back and forth between pages, for example going back after seeing a post's comments.

Update

This week we've updated the platform with one of the most requested features, as well as a few other changes:

• Post editing - You can now edit the text and category of a post, no more need to delete your own post if you've accidentally made a typo or picked the wrong category.
• Achievements - There are now achievements which appear on your profile once you get 100 likes on a single post, 100 followers, 1000 followers or make your 100th post.
• Improved notifications page design - The notifications page has now got an updated design that accommodates the new features.
• Bugfixes and other UX improvements - All thanks to your continued feedback!
• Unfroze all props on the server
