These are the Win changes since the last update post:
- fixed pagination in search (previously would lose the sort option)
- switched caching from Caffeine to Redis (and then dealt with the intermittent issues it caused in various places such as inbox and, rarely, posts)
- improved title suggest function (it's a bit slower, but supports a wider variety of sites, including those protected by Cloudflare)
- fixed issue where embeds would double instead of close if 'expanded' when auto expand embeds is enabled
- adjusted the image uploading error messages to better indicate what is wrong, as well as allow you to try uploading again without refreshing the page
- fixed issues with some servers being unable to connect to the media upload server
- csrf changes to reduce error rates when submitting content after extended periods of inactivity (fetch csrf from cookie rather than HTML, in case cookie was updated after page load in another tab)
- fixed an issue where you could potentially jump between servers every 30 minutes or upon IP change (now you will stick to one server unless it goes offline, by cookie)
- fixed an issue where expanding a comment thread would also try to jump it into view - expanding a comment thread should not jump the page.
- following an issue with the above change, later fixed issue where collapsing a comment thread would jump way further down (the point to which it should jump to was being calculated prior to the thread collapsing)
- fixed an issue where the site would be temporarily unavailable for 1-2 minutes every few hours for automated backups (which, at high traffic times, could have a knock-on effect when a flood of users are trying to get back in)
- updated ToS wording
We're also working on the stability during press briefings. Beyond the automated backups which were mentioned in the above changelogs, performance has remained good for the past two days of briefings.
Another update will be coming tomorrow.

Are there any plans to make this site more friendly to off topic discussion? Such as niche discussions about things unrelated to Trump and politics? I think that would really help drive up the traffic on this site
SubTrump, which could be about anything from Space Force to Unlocked Tech to Pizzagate roundup to Time Traveler confirmed....
I agree.
I think it could be done easily enough by creating like a 'new' or 'hot' filter that brings you to a page only displaying 'off topic' threads, which of course are always on-topic... Any/All discussion on certain topics could be inside a single thread and people could make comment/reply chains in place of threads.
