I feel... old.
Oh god and now I'm 23.

• Better Safari Support. We now support back to Safari 10.
• Increased internal limits on # codes & images allowed.

Few other mention-able updates

• Greenlight System. Once your submission is greenlit, it won't go back into the queue if you update it as a level 1.
• Responsive Video Sizes restored. Youtube videos will now scale to fill the space they have available, desktop, mobile, widgets, etc.

• Server Voting. Removed a spam check that was false flagging.
• Mobile Ads. Set fixed mobile Ad dimensions to prevent content shifting as they load.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
Things are still lively over on this thread. Spygron is passionate about Planet Earth and is looking for other members to help with their cause! In their first forum post, they opened the discussion up about the problems Earth is facing - problems such as pollution, global warming, endangered animals, etc. This time they’re asking for action. Let’s see it happen!


creeper2357 was featured in an article on Minecraft.net for their replication of San Francisco's famous street, Lombard Street! If you’re not familiar with this street, the reason why it’s famous is because of it 8 very sharp turns spanning 1 block. Creeper2357 did a fantastic job replicating it!


Several of our members were featured in this article on Minecraft.net which covers common building tools that some Minecrafters use. A very useful article! Congratulations _Killerack__ , DarthEnigma, Gabersid, Roman_95, Shaliquinn, Z00, and creeper2357 for your features! Great work!

WHAT!? THERES A CONTEST FOR SHIPS!?

Happy Saturday, PMCer's! We hope you're enjoying your week so far. Who else wishes the pink buttons were still around? Did anyone click the floating hearts in the header? They exploded into tiny little hearts! It was raining love <3 It was a relatively quiet week this week, but we were behind the scenes working on the text editor update which is now live!


credit_card General Editor Highlights

• font_download Unified Font : Editor text uses the same font as the website!
• wb_iridescent Spoilers are easier to work with & harder to break. You can use the unfold_morearrows to move spoilers.
• Ω Over 700 special character & icons are now available. Click Ω
  to access them. They are text based which allows you to resize them
  with the font size & color them with the font color picker
• color_lens Advanced Color Pickers on text color & background.
• grid_on Table management & STYLES! Working with tables will be MUCH easier now. Besides being easier to create, edit and delete rows & columns you can now MERGE & RESIZE them! You can also change the table background style... none, site (default) & material are currently available.
• history Auto saves periodically so that you can restore or recover posts. Location independent (wall post, thread, submission, etc)
• zoom_out_map Better Fullscreen : Now fullscreen won't take up the actual fullscreen... why? Because if
  you have a large monitor having text span across a thousand yards is
  going to be unpleasant to read & work with. No more!
  

image Advanced Media Support in Editor

• perm_media Advanced Media : Images, Video & Audio | All media is visible in the editor AND playable!
• image Image Dimensions
  : you can now set the width & height of an image / gif. Can define
  one or both dimensions. Define one and it will maintain the aspect
  ratio.
• videocam Video Support : Youtube, .mp4, .webm, .avi, .gifv!
• audiotrack Audio Support : .mp3, .wav, .ogg
• edit Edit Media : Select media element & click the image icon. Right-click the media if it's video / audio.

There are always bugs & tweaks to be made after an update that needs to support many different locations & purposes on the website plus devices, browsers & operating systems. If you found a bug with the editor or have a feature suggestion, please open a ticket.
