Ah-Ha! Hello there!
- In my attempt to become more of a known face to my people I'm going to be taking over the staff notices!
- Hope you all don't mind me popping my head in!

- From: 70 Lavender & 70 Roses

- Please check your Spam / Junk folder however, it seems like they still don't like us too much!
- You should now properly receive verification e-mails if your e-mail host is live/outlook/hotmail!
Donation Page Updates
- Donation page has got a slightly updated look!
- We have disabled the ability to donate $1 or less due to paypal fees.
- Previously you could donate $1 or less but wouldn't receive any ohms!
- We have corrected the math behind the spenders bonus to correctly apply a +15% when spending $10 or more.
- Previously this was incorrectly giving a rough 17.5% increase instead, which was not intended.
- Discounts / Bonuses? We're gonna have 'em!
- We will now be offering discounts/bonuses on certain outernet days for purchasing ohms!
- Mothers day (12th May) will be the first to give a bonus in ohm purchases - a whopping 25% extra ohms!
- These bonuses will only last for the 24 hours of the outernet holiday
- They will start at midnight Voltra time and end 24 hours after.
- They will stack with the spenders bonus - so tomorrow you'll be able to get up to 35% more ohms!
- We will now be offering discounts/bonuses on certain outernet days for purchasing ohms!
Additional E-mail Security
- Account registration now checks all e-mails against common spam e-mails due to a recent surge in spam accounts being registered.
- Please note we will be transitioning to a new SMTP relay server soon so if any verification e-mails are not sent then please try again once we confirm the change has been completed on these notices, thank you!
E-Mail Relay Update Complete
- Email verification's should now be sent once more!
- If you tried to verify your e-mail or registered while we were changing over, please click the re-send button on the verification page!
Shop & Item logs
- This one is more of a back-end update however we now have logs for when a user purchases an item or opens a consumable.
- This helps us pinpoint issues and verify purchase/opening if anything goes wrong and you do not get your item.
- This also helps if we mis-price an item - now we have the ability to refund those who bought it at the wrong price.
- This helps us pinpoint issues and verify purchase/opening if anything goes wrong and you do not get your item.
Shinier Orbs
- Orbs back-end have been refactored and now should pull item information faster while loading in the inventory.
- They also now support unlimited items to be added inside (previously a limit of 10 unique winnable items per orb was in place)
- This is mostly back-end again so you shouldn't notice too much, if you own a lot of orbs you might notice your inventory loading *slightly* faster though!
Notification Limit Increase
- Notifications from the user card in the header will now show up to the amount of new notifications you have.
- Example: If you log in and have 30 new notifications - the drop down will show all of them!
- Defaults to 10 if new notifications are less than that amount.
- Please note you can always view your 50 most recent notifications in the homepage!
- Example: If you log in and have 30 new notifications - the drop down will show all of them!
Empty Rolls
- Any empty die rolls in post actions will now be ignored instead of triggering an error.
Accessibility Settings!
We hope that this will help with those pesky font colors on certain themes for those who have difficulty reading them!
- In your settings page under Accessibility (or use this shortcut) you can now:
- Set it so all forum posts default to the themes default color.
- Set a minimum font-size for all forum posts
- Remove all user-profile custom CSS
- Set it so all forum posts default to the themes default color.
We hope that this will help with those pesky font colors on certain themes for those who have difficulty reading them!
