New Features: September 2008 Archives

By now most everyone has probably found the new tab that has appeared below your timeline with the title of "Responded plurks" This tab followed the reintroduction of the "Private plurks" tab that reappeared last week. That now makes 4 tabs below your timeline that will allow you to filter the timeline display by "All plurks", "My plurks", Private plurks", and "Responded plurks". These are great features that are very useful to manage the various messages and discussions that you are involved with on Plurk. With the introduction of all of these tabs it is inevitable that we will want to modify their look and feel to match our profile theme. This tutorial will describe how to round the corners of the tabls to make them look like folder tabs rather than square boxes.

The Plurk development team is busy working on several new features and functions. They are also doing a little housecleaning and preparing the user database to become more useful. As such they needed to initiate an email validation routine for users. This will impact new users as they sign up but was rolled out to everyone in order to verify that the email message on record was correct and that users are receiving emails from Plurk. They therefore had the system request that each user validate their email address with the system. As you logged in you were notified with a bright reddish pink box in the title bar asking to validate your email. Well I couldn't just let that pass up since it clashed with the other messages on the system so I themed it. At first I thought why bother but then decided to do this in the off chance that Plurk will use the same CSS tag for other future messages then this will set them up to look more aesthetically pleasing and match the overall theme.
