When you tell us something is broken or buggy, it lands here once we have fixed it. If you reported it, you should be able to find it. If something is still not right, reach out to us and we’ll be in touch.

- Tapping a notification takes you to the thing that happened, and nowhere else. Yesterday we made the name of the person in a notification open their profile, and that was a mistake. Their name is the first and boldest thing in the row, so it is the natural place to press, and pressing it took you to their page instead of the comment you were trying to read. The whole row does one job again. If you want to get to the poet, tap their name on the comment itself, which is where it was asked for and where it still works.
- We told you yesterday that older notifications about comments would take you straight to the comment. For some of them that simply was not true, and they still left you at the top of the poem to hunt for it. We found the ones that were still wrong and they all land properly now.
- A notification about someone liking or commenting on your work now tells you who it was. When it genuinely cannot work out who, it now says nothing rather than filling the gap with something that was never right.
- Tapping the name of someone who has not picked a username yet used to take you to a page that does not exist. It no longer offers you a link that goes nowhere.
- A recorded reading your browser cannot play now says so, instead of doing nothing at all and taking the rest of the page down with it. This mostly affects older recordings opened in Safari. Those recordings still will not play there, and that is a separate thing we are working on, but you will at least be told rather than left pressing a button that does nothing.
- The daily writing prompt has been quietly turning over since June, long before any of you were here to read one. Fifty-nine of them came and went with nobody to see them. Starting tomorrow we are putting those fifty-nine back, one a day, in the order they were written, before the list carries on where it left off.
- The box for writing a comment is a proper box now. It used to be one line tall, so anything longer than a sentence ran off the side and fixing a word in the middle meant dragging back through your own writing to reach it. It starts four lines deep, grows as you write, and you can put a thought on its own line with shift and return. That covers leaving a comment, replying to one, and replying as the poet on your own poem.
- Editing your own comment is something you can find. It was tucked behind three faint dots beside your name and that was the only way in. Edit now sits next to Reply and Like on your own comments, and the box it opens holds the whole thing rather than one line of it. The dots are still there, and are easier to see, for everything else.
- If you edit a comment and it trips the poet's word filters, you are told it is waiting on their review. Until now you got a tick and the word updated, and then the comment quietly went missing from the poem with nothing to explain why.

- Boosting a poem was close to impossible to find. Everything told you to highlight the poem first, which was correct, but then the button to actually boost it was nowhere near your highlighted poems. It sits with them now. Go to your own profile, look at the row of highlighted poems at the top, and under each one there is a small rocket that boosts that poem for seven days. Tap it once, then once more to confirm. The poem has to be public for the rocket to appear.
- Someone who leaves a comment is now someone you can actually get to. Tap their name or their picture and their profile opens. That works on a poem, on a photo, on replies to either, and in the lists where you look at comments on your own work. Some of those already linked the name but not the face beside it, so half the row did nothing when you pressed it. Both halves work everywhere now.
- Clicking a notification about a comment used to drop you at the top of your poem, so you had to scroll down and hunt for the comment you were trying to read. It now takes you straight to that comment and lights it up for a moment so your eye lands on it. Replies too, which are the easier ones to lose. This works on notifications you were already sent, not only new ones.
- If your membership was given to you rather than paid for, the page promised you 100 free credits every month and you were not getting them. You are now, once a month, counted from your first one. This starts from here: it does not fill in the months that already went by.
- The panel for adding a cover photo to a poem has been redrawn. It now sits up off the page as its own card, with a line of color across the top, and it looks and behaves the same whether you are writing a new poem or editing one you have already published.
- The little box in the corner for telling us something is here to stay. It was built for the alpha and was set to disappear when the alpha ended, which would have left you with no way to reach us from inside the site at exactly the moment there are most of you.

- Poems marked as mature had stopped appearing in Discover, in Trending, in the poem of the day, and anywhere else you would browse for them. That included for the poet who wrote them, so you could publish something and then not be able to find it. They show up again now when you are signed in.
- Links to highlighted poems on a profile were leading to a page saying the poem could not be found. That included your own. They open properly now.
- Every notification about a new poem said the poem was called "Untitled", whatever it was really called. They carry the real title now. This one had been wrong for every single new-poem notification we have ever sent.
- A poem you started as a draft and published later was slotting into New Poems at the moment you first began writing it, not the moment you published, so it landed pages down the list and looked like it never went out. It now shows up at the top when you publish it.
- Your home stream could come up completely empty. One broken item in it was enough to take the whole list down with it, and a stream that shows nothing looks exactly like a stream with nothing in it. One bad item can no longer hide everything else.
- Coming back to the sign-up screen holding your verification code sometimes showed a blank box with nowhere to type it. The form keeps its shape now while it finishes loading.
- The page for writing a poem, and some help articles, were failing to open for a small number of people. Both are fixed.
- The note box in the corner for telling us something was written as though everything you might say is a problem report, so an idea or a compliment had nowhere natural to go. It now asks a question that fits whichever you picked, the Send button stays on screen while you write, and nothing about it suggests you only get one sentence. Say as much as you want.
- Scheduling a poem from a phone did not work: tapping the date and time box did nothing, so there was no way to pick when your poem goes out. On a phone you now get your phone's own date and time picker, which is how it always should have worked.

- Collections can now be shared with a link. You turn sharing on from the collection itself, and anyone you hand the link to can open it without needing an account.

- Your setting to stop people right-clicking and selecting your poems was not actually doing anything. It works now, including in Focus Mode, and you can still select and copy your own work. It discourages casual copying, it cannot stop someone who is determined.
- Deleting your profile photo left a broken picture behind wherever your face used to be. Your photo now clears properly, and any picture that fails to load shows the plain letter avatar instead of a broken image.
- Poet cards now put the photo on top with the name and country underneath, so every card in a row is the same height. A long username no longer wraps onto a second line: it trims with dots and shows in full when you hover it.
- Suggested Poets was showing a single poet, because it only offered someone who had filled in every part of their profile. Poets who are actively publishing now show up there, with the fuller profiles first.
- On the homepage, the Today's Poem label and date moved off the poet's photo and onto the page itself, so the date stays readable no matter how bright that day's picture is.
- The Today's Poem card opened on a strip of empty space instead of the photograph, and it was worst on a phone. The card now starts on the picture, and the label and date are bigger.
- On Discover, the poems you land on first are the newest ones. New Poems now sits ahead of Trending and is the tab that opens for you.
