New Features Added - Commenting, Source Proofs, and Prophecy Keys
Saturday, November 5th, 2022 12:18pm

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that I've just deployed a number of long awaited upgrades that I was previously unable to do because I didn't have the time, or opportunity, to deploy them on the site.  I finally got some time this week, so I knocked them out, and have now deployed them on the site.  Here's some of what was added to the site for you to use and enjoy.

1.  Comments on Sources - You can now comment on Modern Prophecy Sources, as I've added the commenting plugin to those pages, just as requested.  You may now spam the comments section share your thoughts and concerns about each source, proofs you may have found for each one, questions, etc.

2.  Proofs on Sources - I know a number of you have been asking for this, and I've finally done it.  However, I would ask a small favor of you in regards to this new feature.  Please, please be patient with me as I populate it with necessary proofs.  I have almost 1400 sources to go through, and over 16,000 proofs (not all are attached to modern prophecies, but there are definitely a LOT that are) that I need to go through in order to get everything updated and properly fleshed out.  That's going to take me a good 2-3 months amidst all the other regular work I have to do, both on and off the site.  So I'll get everything done as fast as I can.  In the meantime, if you have a source that you want to share with someone, but which is presently bereft of proofs, please let me know and I'll get that populated for you.

Otherwise, just generous amounts of patience will be necessary as I work to get this new feature up to speed given the volume of data that I have to work through.  As for needing help with populating this feature, I'm not ready for that just yet.  In time, yes, but not right away.  Why?   I've just completed this upgrade, and want to be 100% certain that everything works exactly as intended.  Once I'm sure that it's completely ready for primetime, and to have other admins come in and help out, then I will gladly put out a request for help, and bring in a few extra hands to help work through the backlog.  Until then, please be patient.

3.  Prophecy Keys - This is another item that I know you guys, especially those of you on mobile devices, have wanted to see for a while.  These will only appear on Modern Prophecies, and only the parent entries, but that should be enough to help you understand the type, and status of each modern prophecy listed on each parent entry.

With all that said, I hope all of you like and appreciate the new upgrades, as they were a lot of hard work, but also very worth it.  Also, for those of you who are mobile users, yes, I am still working on getting a mobile version of the website into production.  That, however, is a LOT more involved than it sounds.  So it's been kinda low on my priority list.  However, if one of you wants to donate some time to create a working mobile theme for the site, please do.  I don't need it for a specific flavor of CMS, such as WordPress, Drupal, etc, as mine is entirely custom and scratch built, so you'll have no worries there.  All I require is a flat HTML theme with all the necessary files, scripts, images, and other elements required to make it work.  Once I have that, I can do the rest to integrate it into the CMS.  And, as always, thank you to everyone who helps out, and visits the site.  You are greatly appreciated.

Your Brother in Christ,
Steven Lake
