Another fairly small update with some improvements to the Bounty system.
- Bounties can now be edited as long as they have not been claimed. Everything except for initial bounty award can be modified.
- You can now browse past the first ten entries on the "Most Wanted" bounty views.
- Various internal optimizations and performance improvements.
- The remaining bounty GP rewards have now been removed entirely. The ones that were still in the system will be returned shortly were instead added as a credit reward at the usual 1:10 ratio.
Hey, I put like three hours into that bullet point. I could have been more specific, but people wouldn't care, and for good reason. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
- GP has now been removed entirely. The few remaining GP rewards will be returned shortly were instead added as a credit reward at the usual 1:10 ratio.
Poop. I was using all the GP I was amassing on Doggie Bags. It was much easier to separate my porn funds from my waste-on-invisible-game-goods funds that way. Also, Y U NO PUT THUMBNAIL PREVIEW ON BOUNTIES yet?

I meant the optional image the bounty poster could upload in the way it works on the search pages of the gallery. And until today, the Most Wanted only showed the top ten, which gets pretty static.
Thanks for the bounty updates. If at some point the bounties would be searchable, that would be awesome. Oh, and if standard could be split into editing / other, that would be great.
Also, how about adding a PM button next to the bounty poster so that way any potential bounty hunter (ESPECIALLY new ones) will be able to contact the poster directly?
It's frustrating trying to contact a newbie hunter via PM when they know nothing about forums. So a PM button would make it easier for them to contact us the bounty posters (and realize the existence and usefulness of forums), and in return make it easier for us to respond to them.
I'm not sure a search is technically necessary since there are like twelve pages of "active" bounties. Nor can I see how it would be helpful even if there were more. How would it be used exactly? Under what circumstances would you need to search for bounties?
As for splitting out an additional "editing" category, that should be covered reasonably well by Translation? Since many bounties are for doing both, I don't see the point in having a separate category for it.
A PM button is potentially useful and easy enough to add, so I guess I'll add that at least.
