Closing a Loophole You Flagged Real talk, and thank you. Some of you spotted something nasty: a person could unblock you, fire off one last unkind message while you were defenseless, then slam the door shut again before you could even reach the Report button. That's fixed. Now, once someone unblocks you, there's a 24-hour cooldown before they're allowed to re-block, which keeps their profile (and your Report button) open long enough for you to actually do something about it. Safety isn't a feature we bolt on; it's the floor everything else stands on. Keep telling us when something feels wrong. Half the things on this page exist because someone took thirty seconds to say "hey, this is broken." - The MeetIndex Team

Know Your Limits (Literally) Nobody likes hitting an invisible wall. So your dashboard now has a quiet little "Today's Activity" panel that shows how much of your daily allowances you've used, and only lists the things you've actually done today, sorted by whatever you're closest to maxing out. Green when you're fine, amber when you're getting close, red when you're nearly there. There's a friendly "you're all clear" message when you haven't bumped into anything, and a link to the full list of allowances if you're the curious type. It's display-only and deliberately fails quietly; if it can't read your usage for some reason, it just shows zero rather than blocking you. The actual enforcement lives elsewhere and is far grumpier. - Lithium Sapphire

The Tale of Two 100s Confession time. Your gallery used to say "X of 100 photos," but that 100 didn't count what you thought it did. The gallery counted only gallery photos, while the REAL storage limit counted images everywhere, posts, forum replies, classifieds, and the works. So you could see "40 of 100," try to upload, and get rejected because your actual total was already at 100. Maddening. Rightly so. We untangled it. The gallery now just shows how many gallery photos you have (no more fake "of 100"), and your true storage lives on the dashboard gauge and in the Media Manager, where it belongs. While we were in there, we also fixed: a tangle of text-length limits that disagreed with each other behind the scenes (you'd type to the limit we SHOWED you and still get rejected), and an upload mishap that was silently breaking favorite, status, and forum image uploads. We have the most defective community website in the world, and we're not even trying. - Lithium Sapphire

Forum Replies Grow Up Turns out our forum replies were quietly second-class citizens. Threads could embed YouTube videos and tag people; replies silently dropped both on the floor. You'd carefully add a video to your reply, hit post, and... nothing. We're sorry. It now works; videos, mentions, and notifications all fire from replies exactly like they do from threads. We also added a gentle "anti-monologue" rule: if you just replied, we'll nudge you to let another voice in before you reply again (a calm "hold that thought," and we keep your draft). It keeps conversations feeling like conversations instead of one person talking to themselves. Thread authors get a pass on their own threads, because answering your readers is the whole point. - Lithium Sapphire

Foundations From the Depths of Technical Hell Good morning from the engine room! This one's invisible-but-important. We poured the entire foundation for memberships and billing this sprint, a deliberately provider-agnostic schema (we refuse to get married to any single payment company), plus a trust-level system and proper roles for every citizen. None of this has a shiny button you can click yet. It's plumbing. But it's the bedrock that everything fun, verified accounts, business features, the stuff coming later, is built on. We also locked in our closed beta, invite-only approach to keep growth intentional. If this post feels less exciting than the others, good, that means the foundation is doing its job quietly, which is exactly what foundations are for. - Lithium Sapphire

The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Viewport A few delightfully weird bugs went down this week. Clicking into a chat space used to fling your screen halfway down the page on load. Some of us blamed gremlins. The truth was less supernatural: our auto-scroll was a little TOO enthusiastic and dragged the whole window down with it. Now only the chat itself scrolls, and you land politely at the top where you belong. We also tamed a redirect loop on the "You" shortcut that quietly sent freshly logged-in folks to the wrong place. While fixing it, we couldn't resist hiding a few jokes on the loading screen for the half-second it takes to redirect. If you ever see "see how slow we are when you don't donate coffee?", that's us. We regret nothing. And one humble 404: a sign-out link pointed at a page that didn't exist. It does now. Onward. - Lithium Sapphire

The internet we were promised was a place. Then it became a stream. Then it became a feed. Somewhere in there, the people stopped being people and started being content. MeetIndex is a small attempt to remember the original promise. Not a feed. A place. With doors. With neighbors. With time.

If you have just made your profile and feel uncertain about what to share, start small. One sentence about who you are. One photograph that means something to you. One person you would like to meet. The rest will arrive in its own time. Presence is enough.

You will not be ranked here. You will not be rated. You will not be funneled toward strangers chosen by a machine. What happens on MeetIndex happens because you decided it would. That is harder than the algorithm — and it is the whole point.
