Hello,

I am sure you have all recently noticed a large amount of lag in all rooms.

The datacenter that we lease our servers from is having issues with their core router.

The os that the router runs is no longer able to keep up with the amount of traffic the datacenter generates as it has grown.

The datacenter is co-coordinating a replacement router scheduled for 00:00 AM PST 6/4 or roughly 30 hours from this post.

We will still stay up even with the lag, and we will keep you updated if anything changes.

Hey guys,

I would like to announce that we have added the image deletion feature to our gallery today.

 

You will now be able to delete any images you have uploaded if you are logged in, or any images that came from your ip while you were logged out.

 

Sorry about the delay on this one,

Its been our most requested feature!

Enjoy!

(EDIT) :

I have also just locked down tags with the same sort of logic.

 

You can no longer edit other users tags.

Small update to our gallery.

We now have a captcha added for non logged in users to do things like add comments.

This is due to a large amount of spam we were receiving.

We had temporarily blocked comments from users who werent logged in as a stop gap measure, but this was not very clearly communicated.

 

Hopefully things work as expected for you guys again,

Changes in this update (v11.10):

• Added mirror mode for rooms.
• Darkening the background after opening a dialog (like a modal dialog) to focus user’s attention.

• Your username will be colored when someone mentions you (also, a PM sound will be played)

• Rebuilt userlist context menu so all options fit.
• Fixed ‘multiple selected layers’ bug.
• Added events when someone is promoted or demoted.

• Fixed user registration limit not working

Hey, no updates to the client this time.

Our gallery however has been updated to let you vote on images and Flockmod usernames now show up properly on comments.

You should now be able to see the new ‘popular’ navigation section on the main gallery page to show upvoted images.

It has daily, monthly, and yearly sections currently.

Enjoy!

Flockmod 11.09A is out!

This update is in relation to our recent switch to flockmod.com.

It fixes gallery uploading, and moves the links over to our new domain.

Its a proud day for us here at FlockMod!

We have acquired and moved to http://flockmod.com/ as of today!

Its been a long road from our simple beginnings…

Here’s a picture of v7 from a couple years back, the earliest version I could find out there still.

Hope you guys enjoy the updates!

Sorry about any downtime the domain switch may have caused.

If you are still having issues accessing the app, you may need to close all flockmod related tabs and clear out your cache.

We had some major issues occur for a few minutes during the transfer that your  browser may have cached.

Luckily, switching domains is not an everyday thing 😛

We shouldn’t have that sort of issue happen again any time soon.

Happy new years everyone!

Flockmod 11.09 is out and we have some new tricks for our moderators!

If you are a mod with user events on in the config, you will now see the reverse dns of users shortly after they connect.

This should help with identifying users switching ip’s or using proxies.

 

We are also releasing our new tool, codenamed ‘modhax’.

This tool allows moderators to specify a trigger zone, and any users attempting to draw in it will have the specified action applied to them.

This tool will prevent users from developing scripts or tricks to draw faster then the moderators can watch, as it will check in the program to see who did it.

More detail on how to use modhax is available HERE

 

Enjoy guys,

FDT
