Tripredacus reported that some international toys had long, nonsensical gibberish describing their release information. That was my attempt at "natural language" generation, and obviously it needed a little work, so my solution was to nuke it. I'm now using the more terse version that I use elsewhere.

Fixed various CSS issues introduced with my last update:
- the associated part gallery on part details pages (reported by Engledogg)
- the shaded small part box gradient on part details pages and elsewhere
- this and that
Also:
- restored the missing instant delete link for freshly uploaded photos
- now hiding the "Modify <part name>" links on the part details pages for guest users (that's been broken for months)
- brought back the "Custom" rejection option for photo review. Ed knows what I'm talking about.
That's all the bugs I know of. If you guys have anything to report, please do it soon before I start the next big project.

Overhauled CSS:
- now using SASS for everything
- wrote a SASS mixin for generating cross-browser linear gradients (using SVG). IE9 users should now see all the same gradients the rest of us do.
- divided CSS file up into smaller files, and am now only including specific CSS on the pages that require it. This has reduced the filesize of downloaded CSS on the home page by about 25%.
- restored font behavior on forum pages (with thanks to Tripredacus and PhantomDustclops for reporting the issue)
- removed the pointless "News" heading on the forum pages (Trip again)
- did some minor styling changes; orange is now the primary site link color, with green being secondary. Trees and breadcrumbs are a dark grey
Issues with submission moderation:
- when getting a validation after submitting a submission review, the form now properly re-initializes with review widgetry
- rejecting photos now sends the proper events to the imagepickers

Haven't done one of these in a while! Recently, I've rolled out a major refactor of all the front end code in shmax.com. I won't bore you with the details unless someone's interested, but it involved rewriting every single piece of front end code on the site (over 97 javascript files). You may have noticed some subtle changes here and there, but core functionality (hopefully) wasn't changed.
Every time I do something like this I inevitably break a few things, and the past few days have been spent on fixes. Most recently:
- fixed issues with uploading photos
- fixed issues with submission review
- restored caching of javascript assets
- fixed submission notification email
- fixed mold picker
- fixed (m) symbols on photos (moderators only)
- fixed photo credit widget
- fixed cookie storage for profile sort/view settings
Thanks to the mods and users for reporting these, most notably Engledogg, SoS, Spliffdizzle, and various other folks.

I took a stab at doing a simple autocomplete feature for the main site search. Type a few words up there and you'll get the idea. There are a lot of ways to make this more complex (eg. adding part and toyline results, adding a "see all results" link, and so on) but I thought I'd see what you guys think of this much, to start. Let me know!

- updated the copy on the home page a bit to reflect developments that happened long ago (such as expanding to toylines other than Transformers)
- fixed the "parts" link in the same copy (it had been pointing to the products page for years; why doesn't somebody TELL me these things?!)
- added links to same copy for forms, toylines, and countries
- fixed issue where one could crash the search results page by using a forward slash in the search string (reported by SoS/Engledogg)

Due to an unforeseen screw-up of my own design, I had to restore data from last night's backup. Anything that happened on this site since midnight has been wiped away, but the good news is that the bug has been fixed, and I've learned an important lesson about screwing-up, and will never do it again. Thanks to Engledogg for catching the problem and reporting it.
