Hey lovelies!

In these turbulent times, we're thrilled to share a long-awaited update.

First, thank you for your patience during our recent seeming lack of updates. And a special thank you to our awesome VIP supporters. Without you, we simply couldn't keep the site alive. While this update doesn't include any new VIP-only features (beyond the amazing VIP content we hope you are enjoying), your ongoing support is powering these improvements for everyone.

Behind the scenes, we've made massive backend changes to enable these and hopefully many more future features. Now, let's jump into what's new today:

Auto-Queue & Looping

Your Auto-Queue and Looping settings now “stick” across all media, whether you're watching videos or browsing image galleries. Turn Auto-Queue off on one item, jump to another, and you'll find it stays off. These preferences are saved locally, so they'll persist until you clear your browser data or close a private-mode window; once you do, you'll need to reset them.

Search Improvements

We've added instant search previews to make content discovery faster and smoother. As you type in the search bar, a live list of top matches appears, so you can spot what you're looking for without the extra click. This is also the first step toward a more powerful mobile search experience, and we can't wait to build on it. (Just make sure you're logged in to see the new search in action.)

Messages (DMs)

We've overhauled DMs, introducing our new Chat feature. Here's how it works:

1. Open Messages.
2. Click the New button.
3. In the message-type dropdown, select Chat.
4. Enter the recipient's username, a subject, and your message.
5. Solve the Captcha and click Send.

Tip: Chats must be accepted by the recipient before they appear in your inbox.

We'll be phasing out the old Messages interface in favor of Chat for a smoother, more modern experience. We'll transition gradually so everyone has time to adjust and share feedback.

Comments

Comments are back! We rebuilt the system to reduce abuse, and after a temporary pause, you can now post comments again! Thank you for your patience, it was a tough decision to pause comments, but necessary. This is the first rollout of the new system, so please bear with us as we fine-tune it.

Next we'll be focusing on compliance updates to secure the future of the site and our community. Thank you to everyone for sticking with us over all these years, we're deeply grateful for your support and hope we can count on it as we move forward.

Big hugs,
The HT Team
