More Updates and Improvements to Writing.Com

1) Book Manager Update

The book manager got a glam-over, clean-up.

There's now a more proper toolbar that allows you to turn on/off all the gizmos and doo-dads, like bulk ordering, access restrictions and more. Tags have been added as well. Clicking the tags let members manage the individual entries as well as filter the entire book's entries by tags. The bulk system has tags available, too. Check 5 entries, click the "Tag" tool from the bottom and add tags to all 5 at once.
                   

(Shout-outs to Brandiwyn🎶 for the initial tag request and Amethyst Angel ♡ for the bulk tagging request that led to this latest beautification. )

2) Item Edit "Time" Update

Previously, every edit to an item updated its modified time.

Now, only changes to the item's title, brief description, or main body will automatically update the time.

You'll find a checkbox at the bottom of the item edit form for the modified time. It will be checked automatically when you change any of those three listed areas. If you didn't change any of them, you can still opt to update the time by ticking the box.
         

(This has been tested, but until it's been out there for a good bit, please don't rush out and test this with some item you haven't edited in 10 years because you didn't want to lose the modified time from 2016. That's a terrible test case. A forum you edited last week is a much better test case. Please feel free to report any bugs in "Bug Reporting" .)

3) Three New Emoticons!

It's PIE for everyone!
All kinds of PI(E)!
(and just in time for Pi Day March 14!)
