Very minor updates have been stacked in this announcement thread.

Aug. 16th
  • The Multi-User page has had a small addition so that the loading spinner gives a minimum "reserved height" to the content area.

Aug.14th
  • You can now rename your Farm from the Fields page, by clicking the button by your farm's name.

Aug. 1st
  • The Users Online page now has sorting and users-per-page settings.
  • The PokéDex page has been significantly lightened in terms of data sent, which should have a noticeable impact on mobile users especially, but should help everyone.
  • Most Bonus Counters have received an increase to their target numbers, due to the increased activity. Uzumi's counter, however, was lowered.

July

Date Update
Jul. 31st
  • The Fields page tooltip for Pokémon now shows within the Field area itself, to the left or right depending on which side the Pokémon itself is. This has also been applied to the "Select a Pokémon" pop-up boxes, which should simplify access to the "Select" button. Furthermore, a button has been added to the bottom of the Fields page to toggle between viewing your Private and Public Fields page.
Jul. 29th
  • First, when visiting a user's profile, you will now see how many interactions have been made between you and that user, just above their party list. This number updates as you click on their Party.
  • Secondly, there are now "Open all" links on the Users Online page, your Friends List, and the Today's Interactions page ("received interactions" only). These links open a special page where multiple users' profiles can be viewed at once in a quick and easy way. On that page, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Left Arrow / Right Arrow or A/D to navigate left/right between profiles.
Jul. 28th
  • Dressing up is back! From the menu of any Pokémon you own, you can now select "Dress up" to access the new and improved dressing-up feature. Hope you like it!
Jul. 26th
  • Zygarde Core, 10%, 50% and Complete Formes have come to PFQ! As ever, the method to get them is a secret for you guys to figure out, so good luck, have fun, and maybe you can get your hands on one! All existing Zygarde have been changed into Core Forme. You will be able to "promote" them to their previous (50%) Forme through the secret method.
Jul. 23rd
  • A suggestion was made for a [math] BBCode to perform calculations in posts. This can be useful when combined with [inventory] codes. To quote my post in the suggestion thread... (Check PFQ for Quote)
Jul. 18th
  • The Wishforge's Gem-exchange service has returned. You can now trade smaller gems for bigger ones, for your Trading convenience. Enjoy!
  • ModWatch is back. This page allows you to see into the busy lives of moderators. It is intended to provide transparency with the users so you know what we're up to.
Jul. 15th
  • The Wishforge now comes with a translation service, allowing Ravyne's speech to be more readily understood by English-speaking individuals - which is most of us.
  • The "New Farmer" status has been added. Users marked with the icon are "New Farmers" (specifically, they registered in the last week and/or have not completed the tutorial yet). Interacting with New Farmers gives you a 50% boost to Interaction Points gained, in addition to any existing bonuses. In addition, Gems no longer have the "random chance" aspect that was dependent on hatching a lot of Eggs first.
  • The Farm Page's Interactions tab has been implemented to show you a graph of all your interaction history. It is grouped by month, and you can click on a month to show a daily breakdown of that month. Enjoy!
Jul. 12th
  • Friend Requests are back! You can send someone a friend request by going to their user page. The option appears in the menu alongside Send Message and Send Trade. You can accept/reject friend requests in the same place, or on your Farm page. You can remove friends from the menu on their profile too.
  • Enjoy!
Jul. 10th
  • When you go to rename a Pokémon, the default names in English, Japanese, French, German and Korean are now available as options.
  • Unfortunately, aside from English, default names will not change appropriately when you evolve a Pokémon. This will be added in the next time we have maintenance. For now, when you evolve a Pokémon, you can simply Rename it again and hit the corresponding button.
Jul. 9th
  • Bulk discount is now available on Egg Passes and Lucky Seals. Enjoy!
Jul. 5th
  • You can now view your most recent trades in the Trade Centre's History tab. Up to 25 Trades are shown.
Jul. 4th
  • I'm removing the placeholder Advertisement space from Summary pages.
  • New, modern code has been added for mobile users. In particular, the site will now show a "you are offline" page if you happen to lose connection to the internet (much nicer than the boring page). Also, supporting browsers will now prompt you to add PFQ to your home screen.

June

Date Update
Jun. 28th
  • Gender selection is now available again from your Profile page, in the same menu as "Edit Trainer Card" and "Edit About Me".
Jun. 27th
  • Site Skins return!

Complete with a brand-new editor with real-time live preview, and the ability to define your own background image too, skins have never been better! Enjoy!

Jun. 22nd
  • The last week has been spent performing various bugfixes and performance improvements. Some minor, some major. Most of them were back-end stuff that wouldn't effect anything you actually see, except maybe page loading times.
  • Mass Click Weekend should go well, thanks to recent fixes, but only time will tell!
Jun. 14th
  • Premium Boxes can now be claimed from the ZC page, if you have earned enough Loyalty Bonus to get them.
Jun. 13th
  • A new sort of BBCode has been added. It's a "help" feature. Basically, if at any time you need help with a particular BBCode, just type [help=BBCode name] (obviously using the name of the code you want help on) and hit Preview - or the Send button, both will work as it won't allow the post to be made if there's any "help" queries in it. You will get helpful information about the code you asked about.
  • Ready to celebrate template makers?
  • A new "Insert Template" has been added on the forums when writing or editing a post! It also gives you access to the Template Editor where you can create, edit and delete your own custom Templates. It should be fairly simple, but very powerful. Enjoy!
Jun. 11th
  • As a test (meaning it can change or be undone), I have added a "preloading" overlay to pages on the site. You may briefly see a "loading..." spinner over the entire page. What this means is that the page has loaded, but the JavaScript hasn't. The JavaScript is the part that lets you actually do stuff, like interacting or sending posts, and without it your browser may do unexpected things instead. This should prevent that from happening.
  • The Site Chat has returned!
Jun. 4th
  • When sending a Pokémon on a Scour Mission, the tooltip now shows Energy and Preference instead of various details about Nature/Egg Groups that aren't important for that feature. Similar changes may be made to other "Pokémon Selection" features in the future.
Jun. 2nd
  • The PokéDex's "details view" is now available!
Jun. 1st
  • Security Updates!

PFQ has had HTTPS for a while now, but there was still a small vulnerability where if you just type "pokefarm.com" in your browser it wouldn't use HTTPS until the server said "hoi, get secured!". Now the server sends a Strict-Transport-Security header. What this does is tell your browser to never ever connect to PFQ insecurely. So now, even if you specifically try to go to "http://pokefarm.com/", your browser will refuse and take you to the secured "https://pokefarm.com/" directly, thus closing the vulnerability. All websites should do this. Websites that do not use HTTPS are inferior to those that do In addition, I have added the Content-Security-Policy header. This acts as a whitelist for the browser, making it block any and all content that isn't specifically allowed by the policy. This helps reduce the risk of someone finding a XSS vulnerability in the site and exploiting it. However, since it is a whitelist system, I may have missed certain things that should be allowed. If you discover anything not working that should, please let me know so I can see if the CSP is responsible for blocking it. While this may have unintended side-effects, the overall gain is a more secure website and is totally worth it. The internet is a dangerous place, but with this update I hope that PFQ is now significantly safer from a technological perspective.

  • Added Collection Areas for items and currency in the Trade Centre. This should prevent the issue of currency "disappearing" when a trade is completed, by keeping it separate until you're ready to collect it-otherwise it would risk getting overwritten, if you were interacting at the time.

May

Date Update
May 25th
  • The Pokedex was remade.
May 24th
  • You may now Report Users without hvaing to go directly through a Mod.
May 19th
May 12th

April

Date Update
Apr. 28th
  • You can now store and retrieve money from the Money Safe again.
Apr. 26th
  • Just a minor update for now: mobile users will notice that the little "handle" you use to show the Counters, your money, etc. at the bottom of the screen has been made bigger and moved slightly away from the bottom edge so its easier to hit.
  • You can now buy GP from the newly re-coded Gold Poké Page. You can also redeem any existing vouchers you may have.
Apr. 24th
  • You can now buy Incense from the Daycare in order to breed Baby Stage Pokémon.
Apr. 21st
  • Display Codes are finally back, or at least starting to return.

Apr. 18th
  • Summon Items can now be unlocked! Head over to the Summon Items page to see what you've got!
Apr. 16th
  • Rephrased the part about fields in the unfinished section to include re-ordering fields.
Apr. 14th
  • You can now search for items in your Inventory. This applies to both the Farm Page and to the "Give Item" menu choice. It will also be used in the Trade Centre.
  • The item search will search anywhere in the item's name, so th will find "Thunder Fang" and also "Death Wing" and "Thunder Feather". *It also supports Regular Expressions for any nerds out there. For a very basic run down:
  • ^th will match items starting with "th"
  • th$ will match items ending with "th" (eg. DeepSeaTooth)
  • .* matches zero-or-more of anything (optional wildcard)
  • .+ matches one-or-more of anything (optional wildcard)
Apr. 7th * Mega Evolution now has a proper animation, rather than piggybacking off the Forme Change one. Enjoy!
Apr. 4th * EXP locking has been brought back, so you can actually see if your Pokémon are EXP Locked or not and toggle that effect from the menu.
Apr. 3rd
  • It is now possible to buy Zophan Canisters[1] again from the ZC page. You can find it linked in the currencies list. GP and Credits pages are coming soon-in particular, Relic Trading will be on the Credits page, at least until the Shop is up and running again. ;)
Apr. 2nd
  • Summon Items can now be used. They cannot be unlocked yet, the only unlocks that were done before the Recode are available right now. Unlocking new items will be coming soon!

March

Date Update

Scour Boosts and Scour Slots can now be bought from the Scour page.
Mar. 23th
  • The "set visibility" option works now and it is displayed using a small padlock located next to the number of pokémon in the field (at the bottom of the field).
Mar. 19th The "Pokémon Selection" module - that is, the series of pop-up boxes you use to select Pokémon for things like Scour Missions and the DayCare - has been improved. When selecting a field, you get to see the field. Click on the Pokémon you want, confirm its info in the tooltip and click the "Select" button :)
Mar. 16th
  • Registration is back open!
  • Added Super Training Bag reward to list of things not done.
Mar. 15th
  • The Supplier has re-opened.
Mar. 14th
  • Added Upgrades to the Shelter.
Mar. 13th Accidentally forgot to purge old interactions from the interactions table! x-x; That caused major problems at one point on the previous iteration of the site, so that was fixed.

It only took 9 hours at 100,000 interactions every minute... >.>;; That's a lot of interactions ^^;

Mar. 11th Further adjustments have been made to try and reduce to amount of deadlock errors; it will retry once if a deadlock occurs before relaying the error message to the user."

Mar. 8th
  • Added "Dress-up" to list of things not done.
  • Added "Template System" to list of things not done.
Mar. 7th Boxes can now be viewed and opened. Access to the page is done through the item's tooltip, so it's easily available whenever you see a Box eg. from Scouring.
Mar. 6th Mechanics have been altered for scouring. Sending scours out at 0% energy is now more punishing.
Mar. 4th First post layout has been altered. There are other ideas behind displaying the information, but this has been selected for now. Further alterations may be made.
Mar. 2th Daycare had some major errors with cross-breeding (aka. special exceptions) eg. exclusives, Unown etc. - these have since been resolved, apologies for the inconvenience. As an additional experimental "quality of life" - change that we're testing out, scour-returns can now be sold from the tool-tip from returned scours.
Mar. 1th New scour mission layout! Instead of having everything displayed, each scour area is displayed in tabs! When each particular Tab is selected, the relevant information will be shown. This should be easier-going than what it originally was - feedback is appreciated!

February

Date Update
Feb. 29th The Mass Click Weekend is now (lel I made a typo, sorry!) fully automated (in terms of giving out prizes - so Niet no longer has to be around to hand 'em out!) - staff can now upload the sprites that they make, making the whole process a lot easier!
