Release Notes 2009-02-17

Template:Release notes/start A couple of fixes and bits today:

• All users are now requested to validate their email address. To encourage this validation, the Me page is not available until you've done that, nor are you allowed to comment on or rate things, or post to the forums. We strongly believe that having validated email addresses makes our users behave more nicely toward one another which is the primary reason we're making this change.
• Banned users should now see the reason they were banned when the try to log in. Hopefully this feature doesn't apply to you, dear reader!
• Room embeds were broken by yesterday's release. Now they're fixed again. Sorry about that.
• Fixed a problem with sharing games to Facebook. You should now see a nice screenshot and the game's description when sharing.

That's about it for now. Happy Tuesday!

NOTE: If you do not receive the validation email when you try to validate your email address with Whirled, please check your email account's spam folder. Template:Release notes/end
