This week had no focus; I had final exams to worry about! So our updates are a mish-mash of little things that I found the time to add over the week. Read the full news article for a full list of the changes!

Next week's focus will be on social networking features. We're looking for ideas that help you keep in touch with and feel like a stronger part of the Smash community. The first update will be a generic "alerts" system that tells you when someone leaves you a shoutout, tags you in a video, etc.

Remember to leave a comment on this news post if you have any ideas. Note: please mention if your suggestion was given by someone else in another topic. We'll give both of you a badge, while you might not get one at all if we find someone else who suggested your idea first without you crediting them. Be honest!

The admin staff here at All is Brawl knows that we've got a great site set up, but we certainly aren't going to rest on our laurels. We continuously make updates and upgrades to the site on a near-daily basis; some are fairly obvious (like our stage library), while others are a little more subtle (like improvements to the behavior of our beach balls).

In order to better respond to your requests and communicate more about the smaller things we fix, this Wednesday and all following Wednesdays will be used by our development team to fix five issues as suggested by our users. Every Wednesday I will make a news post about the five things we fixed on that particular day, and that thread will be your chance to give us feedback on what you think should be fixed the following week. We'll pick five issues from those suggestions and get on them the next Wednesday, and whoever made the suggestion will get a special badge!
