[X] My Assistant

- Credit and Karma logs were moved to under My Settings.

- The number of levels for maximum number of gallery thumbnail rows was reduced from 7 to 4. Hath perks and donation levels now overlap - in other words, you no longer have to donate to max out the number of rows, but donators get the hath perks for free.

- Similarly, the hath perks and donation level bonus for number of images loaded outside H@H now also overlap. (This is really less relevant today, since ~98% of all images are served by H@H.)

- The default maximum number of favorites was increased from 500 to 1000. The old first tier of More Favorites was therefore removed. The old second tier was also removed, but it will still work for those who previously bought it. The old third tier (5000) is now the first tier.

- People who already both donated and bought hath perks that are now covered by donations, as well as those who had the removed More Favorites perks, will have the hath refunded shortly have been refunded. As some of the hath perks are now stronger, some costs have also been adjusted.

- Because an increasing number of people are using scripts to automatically download the archives for all galleries, which is causing a huge increase of the load on the archivers, a couple of cost tweaks have been implemented:
-- Archives for galleries that were both uploaded more than a month ago and that have not been downloaded for more than a month, and are therefore unlikely to be cached, now have a higher cost to reflect the work of recreating it. (In other words, this will not affect the ~175000 most popular galleries or anything posted the last month.)
-- The archive download cost will now change dynamically depending on how many archives you have downloaded the past week. (This factor will not take effect if the recreation cost modifier was applied.)
-- Instead of a percentage discount, donation stars now instead grant a number of free archive downloads per day (averaged over a week). You can see the numbers on the donation screen.

(Patch was pushed somewhat prematurely to avoid having to do merges in the future. Various other changes may be observed due to ongoing backend changes.)

now people will be 1% less confused!

The "My Archives" link disappeared.

We are the 99%?

It means we're not going to be charged more if the story's amusing? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Wow! So many free downloads per day. That's more than I have ever downloaded in one day (or possibly a week). Thanks Tenb

Excellent work big boss! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks Tenboro, now instead of 11 hours of coding go get 11 hours of sleep and get caught up. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- The number of levels for maximum number of gallery thumbnail rows was reduced from 7 to 4.

Yay, i'm upgraded from 14 to 20 rows.

When i wanted to open an image by number in a big gallery, i had to to find the page number by doing an integer division by 70 in my head. Now i can divide by 100, much easier. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's soooo much nicer.

Yeah I took that update at face value and nothing special, but now after opening a number of large galleries recently, it's so nice.

Good update. Now if only 10B address the issue regarding wani incident and announce what he is planning to do would be wonderful. Release us from this misery 10B

Judging from your comments, it seems to be a good patch. Getting some free downloads must not be bad. Not at all. Thanks, Tenboro!

Edit: I forgot to ask, why is Karma still there? Are you going to change it into something relevant?

The free download thing isn't actually working entirely like it should (it's counting any download towards the limit even if you "paid" for it), but I won't be able to fix that until tomorrow.

why is Karma still there?

It's just a means to send messages now.

You mean, just to say "Hey, here is some Karma because I like you/your post!" ?

Can't do Negative Karma anymore.

Karmas! (Sasshovoice) are still good for historic purposes and remind you of how you got most of your mod power back in the days, and how much you actually deserve. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Also this. Some people just never post and don't activate their PMs, but they probably don't read their karmas! logs either. Still a decent way to troll comment on a post without clogging up the thread. (Credits are another alternative.)

500 free favorites and less confusing stuff about thumbnail rows, in short. Good work. Thanks Tenb. Still feeling antsy 'bout the auto aura revamp into HV-only stuff, but oh well, this is offtopic and cheapskates gain 1 Hath a day now. Besides, it's better that way - HV shouldn't really help with mod power at all. (Yes, I'm asking for a flat -6 here because the freefall from Karmas! Manehattan Project wasn't enough (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

Will you consider adding more favorite categories option one way or another? 10 is just not enough for me. ;_;

I'd be happy with just 5 more...

Dude you have 500! I've used about 60-70 and I guarantee I've seen a hell of a lot more galleries than you. Be more selective, be less horny.

I've recently added 2 for kicks, but I still notice I don't need them at all. Browser does that just fine. Not directly related to categories, but you get the point. See the markup.
