14 hours ago: Yesterday's updates broke one of the modules used by the Similarity Scan file search option. I've reverted to the previous version for now.
15 hours ago: Pushed a small tweak to the image dispatcher script to slightly reduce the load, and lookup time (potentially) by a few milliseconds. Woo.
- The front/search page has now been redesigned to 1280x1024+ optimal resolution. Mostly to make room for..
- A new Display Mode has been added for the front page. This mode displays all the thumbnails directly on the page, as well as the name and rating of the gallery, and its torrent/expunge/tagflag icons.
- The Popular Right Now pane has been retconned to include the rating/torrent/expunge fluff. (But not tagflags.)
Sure it's fast, but it can always be faster
- The image pages have been trimmed of unnecessary fluff, and heavily optimized. The compressed size was reduced by 30-50%, depending on if you have ads or not.
Note: The way the site stores browser settings has changed. You will have to reset your settings from the My Settings page.

0.16.2
Torrent Love
- The Torrent and EHTracker screens now run off g instead of gm, and both should be much faster.
- Added two filter options to the Torrent screen. You can now choose to filter only those torrents that are seeded, or filter all torrents (with peers) that are currently unseeded (as far as the tracker knows).
- A search field has been added directly on the torrent page. For the most part it works exactly like the one on the index page (including grouping and exclude/wildcard usage), except that it only searches torrent names and works with the torrent ordering/seed arguments.
- The Torrent screen can now be ordered by size/seeds/downloaders/completes. There is also an order option that prioritizes the display order by just how much a particular torrent is screaming for seeds.
- Added a toggle that makes the page only display your own torrents. There is also a link to this from the EHTracker screen.
- The expunge vote button on the Gallery Torrent screen is now slightly less obnoxious.
Geolocation for Fun and Profit
- The image dispatcher now takes advantage of the H@H location-awareness goodness. -- If you're from North or South America, you'll primarily get your images from H@H clients located in those two regions. If you're from Europe or Africa, that's usually where they'll be from. Except there's still no H@H clients in Africa. Just lions. Which doesn't help. -- If you're from Asia or Oceania, you're out of luck. There's not enough H@H clients located there to do much, so you'll still get images from wherever is available. (We have like a gigabit worth of H@H clients, and of those, only ten megabits are in Asia. Get on the trolley, will ya?)
Hath Perky
- Hath perks with functionality that's fully covered by a metallic aura now show as "Obtained" when you have the aura in question.
- The new hath perk "Source Nexus" has been added. This perk is an alternative way to unlock the Original Images toggle introduced in 0.16.0.
Misc
- Remade the old half-assed "Top Bounties" page. This is the first page that takes advantage of the recent resolution bump.
- Comment voting wouldn't always flush the cache for a gallery if the gallery in question had an ancestor gallery, which made stuff appear glitchy. This should be fixed now.
- Tags added to the pseudo-taggroup !BLACKLISTED! will now be ignored when tagging galleries.

1.0.3 Release Notes
- Added a new URL type to allow the system to specify a filename directly. Together with a change already applied to Galleries, this will fix the save-as filename problems.
- Added a safeguard to block all connections not originating from the C&C server during startup. (You will quite likely see some rejection messages if you close and restart the client in less than five minutes.)
- Reduced the amount of historic logs the system keeps. It will now keep just the last iteration when the logs are rotated.
- Due to some security enhancements in recent browsers, H@H can no longer be set to run on low ports except for 80. Valid ports are now 80 and 1024-65535.
- Applied Hairs' patch (slightly modified) to fix slower than intended cache index scanning during startup.
