Date	Update
February 22nd	The following updates were posted to a user-made thread in the Bugs forum: Site stats will now update once per day and the set time is around the lowest activity of the day. The Shelter contents database now works with pages of 10k instead of 700k. The hidden shelter chain bonus has been boosted from 25% to 50%. A one-second cooldown was added to the shelter buttons. This helps with lag and reduces the instances of clicking too fast.

February 9th	Implemented the ability to choose which nature a Holiday Custom Sprite is upon buying the Sprite.

January

Date	Update
January 29th	The minimum size on the Trainer Card has been changed from 6pt to 10pt. This matches the current PFQ legibility guidelines.
January 16th	Type Race Team Leaders icon changed to last until the end of the month.
January 2nd	Egg Supplier quantity input is now capped at 250.
January 1st	Added the ability to be notified if a Pokémon's Happiness falls below a specified number. This happiness can be specified as a percentage ("Happy%"). However, internally this is converted to the exact value. Example, if 25% is selected, subsequent editing will reveal the exact value 64/255. Upvoted posts will now show when they have been upvoted. The Egg Supplier's bulk discount for buying Eggs in quick succession has been replaced. Users can now enter a Quantity on the order form itself which then adds the bulk discount to the entire order. Buying two eggs used to cost 100% + 90% = 190%, whereas now it costs 2 x 90% = 180%. The bulk discount is more powerful! The bulk discount also applies to the Priority Shipping option! All eggs that are ordered in a single order will arrive as one package. Users can still claim them one by one. Image Uploader allows users to rename files and move them between folders. The links given by the Uploader now use the user's internal user ID instead of their username. Meaning no more breakage when a user changes their username. Tournaments now shows the full Leaderboard while a tournament is in progress. Type Race adjustments: Full team rotation order is displayed. History is now grouped by year if the user has participated for more than one year. History no longer shows months without participation. The elected Team Leader will be visibly designated as such with an icon by their username, wherever it appears - users online, interaction page, forums, PMs, wherever. When the Type Race ends, players will be able to provide feedback by rating their team leader's performance. These ratings will result in the leader receiving bonus Z-Fragments - between 2 and 16 of them. Players will receive 2 Z-Fragments just for voting, even if they abstain. Individual Goals have been adjusted: The 10th is now earned at 1,300 points. 5 additional targets have been added going up to 3,000 points. 2nd place team will receive 2 Z-Fragments. 3rd place team will receive 1 Z-Fragment. Albino chances are boosted by +20% for the Eggs of the team. This stacks with Z-Crystals.
