What's New

What we fixed and what we're working on at GS Poetry

When you tell us something is broken or awkward, it lands here once we have fixed it. Newest first, with the date it reached the site. If you reported it, you should be able to find it.

Something still not right? Send us a note and we will write back.

What we fixed

Today's Poem sometimes featured a poet who had taken their photo down, so the card showed an empty space where their face should be. When that happens now, the card points you to Discover instead.
The feedback button in the corner had a tiny, faint envelope on it. It is a proper envelope now, and big enough to see at a glance.
The homepage is new. It walks you through what GS Poetry is, one section at a time, and ends by inviting you in instead of just stopping.
The activity ticker on the front page was mostly rows of people signing up. It shows a wider mix now, more of it, and you can click straight through to a poem.
Poems with no cover picture were being handed a stock photo, so a poem could show a picture that was never yours. A poem without a cover now simply has none.
Poem titles in some lists led to a page saying the poem was not found. Poem links now work everywhere a poem is listed.
A long poem posted to the stream ran the whole length of the screen. Long posts now show the opening and let you expand the rest right where you are.
Pasting a poem in from somewhere else could drag its colors and highlighting along, sometimes leaving the words unreadable. Pasted poems now match the site.
Today's Poem showed zeros for reads, likes and comments, and your Activity Overview disagreed with your Top Performers. Those numbers are right now.
On Discover, New Poets now leads and opens straight away, and the country list starts on the United States.
Poets without a photo now all share the same GS Poetry letter avatar, poet cards no longer show a bio nobody wrote, and cards stop clipping their top edge on hover.

A busy day of fixes, most of them from things you told us about. Keep the reports coming.

What we fixed

Poems now publish looking the way they did while you wrote them. Line breaks and spacing no longer shift after you publish.
The Enter button on the front door was refusing tester codes. It lets you in now.
GS Pro was failing to switch on for people who were gifted it or started a preview. It switches on properly now.
A few emails from us were quietly failing to send. We now notice when that happens and retry the important ones.

What we’re looking at

Carrying the rest of your toolbar styling, like alignment and indents, through to the published poem just as faithfully.
