An update was pushed to the site yesterday that contained the following things of note:

1. Accidentally adding a duplicate club relation used to generate a MySQL error that wiped all of the club relations; this has been fixed.

A few people reported this happening even when they didn't think they were adding a duplicate relation. However, I suspect that was also tied to this bug. If anyone encounters this problem again, please give precise details about the steps leading up to the bug and a screen-shot of the message.

2. Setting a series to re-watching used to decrease the user's stats (i.e. Time Spent on Anime); it no longer does.

3. Un-checking re-watching halfway through a series used to set the entry as completed with an uncompleted episode count; it automatically fills in the field for you now.

We are currently focusing on trying to return some of the functionality to the site that has been lost to performance problems and bugs in our growth spurts. I can't say for certain what will be done next, but we'll keep you informed as things progress.

I know I posted this in the previous topic, but, the API returns badly encoded Unicode characters (it's encoded as Latin1 instead of UTF-8) and I made a full post in the API club including a very simple fix that would take care of it: Click I'd like to see this fixed mainly because it would save a lot of headache from developers who have to deal with fixing the encoding in their programs.

I'll make this a priority in next weeks round of updates.
