Increased Image Size | Tired
I don't have a whole lot to say. I added a link below everyone's avatar so it's more obvious to new members where to find their pictures.

I also increased the max photo upload size to 250kb instead of the usual 200kb. Hope this helps some of you try...

E-Mail Alerts | Tired
It took SO LONG to get e-mail alerts working. I'm glad the announcement went through the first time without problems, too. I wouldn't want to annoy 120ish people.

Anyway, you can change your settings for e-mail alerts in Settings.

Home Updates | Tired
I've changed the homepage to display the 12 newest users, and all of the currently online users. It also now shows the original format, just showing every member's name. It's not in ABC order yet, hopefully soon.

I also changed so saving CSS doesn't...
About Me
The most important person in my life is Olivia. I am a Christian. Nintendo is one of my favorite game makers. My favorite food is Fettuccine Chicken Broccoli Alfredo.

About Project Coterie
I've always wished there was something better than some of the community websites that are available today... so I made this one, in hopes that you'll feel that this is that something better. While my intention is that this website permanently be ad-free, it may not be possible by my doing alone. Someday, I may ask for donations to help with server costs. When that happens, I hope that many of you will assist in any way you can.

If you are currently signed up for beta, please inform me of any suggestions you have for new features or improvements by either commenting on the journal entries I've written regarding site progress, by commenting in my profile, or sending me a message.

Shoultz: I have an idea.
When viewing a photo from a profile, instead of clicking it and you will be returned back to the manager, have it that it will show the next photo.

...or maybe a slideshow feature.

"GammaQuest" shows the FULL name when looking at it in your friends and stuff, but mine doesn't show more than up to the second E! Unfair! =[

;P

I have a major headache... and need someone to entertain me, but it doesn't seem as if anyone wants to. The majority of people who are currently online on my MSN buddy list seem to either just be morons, jerks, perverts, drunkards, or boring... Grr! I need entertainment. =[

this site is a very sweet concept and i give props to you. i wonder though, will the section 's ever be moveable or will it ever be possible to create custom sections? through CSS or a sweet drag-n-drop structure like iGoogle?

Shoultz: I have an.... well a couple of ideas to invite new people to join the community.

I've noticed on gaiaonline.com, tagged.com, and facebook.com, they have an invite feature when all you have to do is list the e-mail addresses that you want to send an invite to. They get a e-mail from here, asking the receiver if they want to join. Anonymous or not.

Also, why not make a image and a code to copy and past the code to personal websites, other web communities (i.e. Myspace, facebook), and message boards or forums boards (i.e. gaiaonline, square phoenix), blogs (i.e. blogspot, blogger, live journal).

Just a couple of ideas I've thought of. Use them or don't, doesn't matter. Just trying to give to this community.

Jeanne: Thank you for your comment about my avatars. ^^

I have some suggestions. I think there should be an option to change the gender (in case of "slippage" during account creation) and an information box with options you can just fill in (such as email and screen names for different types of messengers). I hope that wasn't too demanding.

Still loving the site. Keep up the great work! =]
