What's New

A running list of updates and improvements to The Jab Archives.

Library — brand new writers' section

A dedicated space for stories, separate from the art gallery. Authors can post multi-chapter stories with a full editor (rich text or BBCode), custom title images, and content warnings. Readers get font/theme/spacing customization, reading progress that's saved automatically, bookmarks, chapter comments, and even a one-click EPUB download to read offline. Built-in guides walk both readers and writers through everything.

Comics — sequential reader with chapters

Artists can now organize their pages into proper web comics with chapters, a cover, and a dedicated reader. Find them under the Comics tab.

Notifications — redone from the ground up

Your notifications are now split into an Image Posts page and an Activity page (journals, comments, follows, likes, messages, and more), each with its own unread count. You can dismiss individual notifications or clear a whole category at once. You'll also now get notified when someone starts following your gallery.

Keyboard navigation

Browsing a gallery post? Use your left/right arrow keys to jump to the previous or next image.

Homepage

The artist spotlight on the homepage now rotates through a better, fresher mix of creators instead of favoring the same few.

Mobile fixes

Fixed a couple of navigation quirks affecting some mobile browsers, including the top menu occasionally not responding to taps.

Other reliability fixes

Resolved an issue that was causing image uploads to fail for some users.

Forum

The forum is now a read-only archive — existing threads and posts remain browsable, but new registration and posting are closed.
