As some of you might have noticed, we had a fairly significant outage today affecting all of our services. It lasted for approximately 6 hours and during that time both our website and our iOS app were completely inaccessible. We did everything we could to bring it back as soon as possible, but...

Please bear with us and read the whole article because it's about a topic that gets more and more important each day and also about a recent bot activity we detected on BraceletBook. Over the last few days we started seeing a very suspicious bot activity on BraceletBook. It's not...

Just a quick update 🙂 We found another issue that was caused by the most recent update to our draw alpha generator. It only affected Safari browser on iOS and broke the ability to use 0-knots. More specifically, the long press gesture wasn't working properly, so it wasn't possible to...

Thanks to one of our users, we found 2 issues in our alpha pattern generators which didn't work quite correctly with 0-knots. We managed to find a solution with our moderators very quickly. It would take me a lot more time to figure it out all by myself, so big thanks to the whole team for...

As some of you might have noticed, we had a brief period of downtime today due to upgrading our server, so I wanted to post a quick update just to let you all know what was happening any why we had to do it in the first place 🙂. The summer season is just around the corner, and as every year,...

Some of you might have noticed a short period of downtime for both our website and our app. It took a bit more time than usually, when we're just pushing out some updates or new features, but we had a very good reason for it! 🙂 Our server provider recently introduced NVMe SSDs for our...

From the last time our FAQ section got updated, we gathered quite a few very good suggestions from our users and moderators on questions that are being asked very frequently and should be added. All of the newly added answers were entirely written by our awesome team of moderators! 🙂🙏 So please,...

We are doing our best to listen to our community and know what our users are looking for when using our services. Having a positive and welcoming vibe on BraceletBook is very important to all of us. As made clear in a previous blog post, we do not believe in censorship. However, we do believe...

We've been seeing an increasing number of inappropriate messages being posted to the Chat recently, and even though we'd like it to be accessible to everyone, we had to take some additional measures. We have to ensure all the sections of our website are suitable for all age categories,...

I think a lot of you knew about this issue, as some of you also reported it to me a few times, but for those of you who don't know our database server had a limit on the min. number of letters a word you search for could contain. Because of this, keywords shorter than 3 characters...

We're always listening to your feedback very closely and today we've made yet another change that a lot of you have requested! 🙂 Our rank algorithm which computes ranks based on user activity definitely needed a few tweaks and improvements after all these years! The goal was to balance...

As you might've noticed, we had a couple of downtimes in the recent days during which our website wasn't accessible, so I wanted to let you know what was happening 🙂. Every once in a while we have to update a lot of stuff on the server to ensure we're running the latest and...

Hey everyone! 👋 Some of you might have noticed and some of you might not, so I wanted to share this info with all of you so that you know what was happening 🙂. We had to do a pretty extensive data migration on our server. Some of the files needed to be migrated to a different storage device to...

Hello everyone! 🙂 After the last changes we made to our pattern review process, we kept talking with our moderators about even more stuff around keywords that we could change for the better. The main goal was to make the rules as consistent as possible, and also publicly available to all of you...

We had a discussion with our moderators today on the importance of pattern keywords which @KrazyKnotz opened. If you read our review guidelines, you probably already know it, but keywords play a huge role in our database. They're being used a lot by both our moderators and our users when...

Up until now, we were allowing swear words on BraceletBook in some very specific cases, for example direct quotes from movies or tv shows. This raised a lot of questions and concerns from our users over the last few years, and so we've been also thinking about it a lot with our moderators...

We started seeing a big increase in pattern series being created by some of our users. Some of those series were pretty big, and we found out we didn't think about this in the past, as it has become an issue only now. We talked about this with our moderators, and decided we have to add some...

We've been waiting for this moment for so long, and now that it's here we can't believe we managed to achieve it. When we first started BraceletBook, we truly believed we can bring a lot of value and useful tools for all the wonderful bracelet communities around the world, but if...

First of all, I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We've been having yet another issue with the consent dialog showing up after every action on the website for some of you 🙁. I made a small mistake in the last update, which made the dialog think it...
by Admin 2 years, 9 months ago
After the change of our consent management platform, we've been having some minor issues. Some strict browsers, like Safari for example, were not playing well with it. A separate popup was being displayed for our blog, and even on the main website, it was being shown too frequently. This...

It seems like this problem was present on the website for quite a while, but we didn't know about it. Yesterday, thanks to @LoopyCat letting us know and providing a lot of support, we managed to find out what caused it and resolve it pretty quickly. 🎉 The issue was present only on mobile...

Hey everyone! 🙂 Over the last few days I did a couple of small updates and fixes I had in my todo list. Nothing big, just a few minor improvements that needed to be done in order to allow us for bigger changes we're planning on 🙂. The conversation list was taking a little while to load for...

For the last two weeks I've been working very hard on something I've been postponing for a very long time now, but it had to be done at some point 🙂. It's not something that's visible for you end users at all, but rather something that will allow us to continue storing all of...

We've release an updated version of our iOS app to the AppStore recently 🙂. There's no big changes, but we've added proper support for some newer devices and fixed a few issues you might've come across while using the app. We've also tweaked the UI a bit in some places 😉,...

We've received some feedback from you - our users about the changes we've made with the generator warnings recently. We really think we've made a big step in the right direction, but there were a few things that could be improved a bit. I've been working really hard with our...

We've received some feedback from our users and also moderators on the way how the interactive generator is working with colours. It seems like ordering them based on how they're being used in the pattern wasn't good for every use case and so we decided it would be best to always...
by Admin 3 years ago
Hey everyone! 🙂 Our moderators have reported an issue regarding inaccurate colour warnings in the generators to me yesterday 🙁. Sometimes it was enough to just change the order of 'colors used', and the generator was confused about it and showed different warnings about colours. I found...

Have a question regarding the normal pattern generator and concerned about the warnings it displays? We've got you covered! 🙂 @halokiwi noticed a lot of our users, mainly beginners, find it hard to understand the warning messages the generators display. They were very proactive and wrote a...
