Quick fixes, news, and a feature!

2008-07-21T16:27:00.001-07:00

We've fixed the issue some people were having when logging into or registering for SS Friendship. You should now be able to log in without problems.

We are still experiencing issues with our automated PayPal payment processor, and any featured orders will still need to be manually processed. We apologize for this, and any delays that resulted from it.

With that said, let me give some news on the SS Friendship redesign. As stated in a previous post, our new design is complete. We have added numerous security features which should ensure that there will be no cheaters on our site. Anyone wishing to cheat will have to spend more time than it's worth!

One feature the new SS Friendship will have is targeted adding. You will be able to chose who you add: males or females, only people 18 to 24, or even only people from California. You will also be able to filter musicians, comedians, and so on if you would prefer not to add them.

Stay tuned, we expect to have more announcements by August, and may be ready to bring you all the new and greatly improved SS Friendship!

PayPal issues

2008-05-17T03:40:00.000-07:00

PayPal has made some changes to their system which broke our system which automatically receives and activates subscriptions from PayPal. Because of this, we must manually enter subscriptions into our system. Please give your subscription some time to be activated.

We apologize for this inconvenience and are working on resolving it.

Updates

2008-05-11T15:27:00.000-07:00

Hello ship mates! We have fixed the add buttons, MySpace had changed the way friend adding is done and it broke us!

There is good news about the new SS Friendship, the design is complete and things are moving along nicely. We have a surprise planned for you all on the weekend we launch, stay tuned!

You asked for it, and now it's coming!

2008-02-27T23:58:00.000-08:00

We're in the process of completely overhauling SS Friendship so we can once again become the best MySpace friend adding website on the web. You'll see new and improved features as well as improved cheat protection (which, we believe will stop almost of all cheating). Some features we're working on have not been seen in any other friend adding website! We're keeping a tight lip in regards to these features so we'll be the only one with them.

There is no set date for when SS Friendship 2.0 will be complete, but we are working on it night and day.

To make this even better: we're taking feature requests. Got an idea that you would like to see here on SS Friendship? Leave a comment with your suggestion!

By popular demand, lower-priced subscriptions!

2008-02-18T20:37:00.001-08:00

We've been getting a lot of e-mails from members asking that we lower our subscription prices recently, and never being ones to deny our members, we have reduced the subscription prices by 33%! This is effective as of 2/18/08 and will be a limited time offer.

The new subscription costs are as follows:
One day - $2.50
One week - $15
One month - $50

Take advantage of this offer while it lasts!

Another bulletin fix has gone live

2007-08-08T22:50:00.000-07:00

We have brought another bulletin fix online. Before, due to MySpace's msplinks.com system, when you would click a persons image in a SS Friendship bulletin you would be sent to MySpace.com instead of that person's profile. We have fixed this now, although for some profiles it still sends you to MySpace.com. We've done about all we can do for this issue.

If bulletins break again, please e-mail us as some of you have done, and we will try to fix it ASAP. In the mean while, feel free to send an e-mail to MySpace letting them know you aren't happy with them limiting what you can and can't do!

Bulletins fixed

2007-08-05T14:19:00.000-07:00

Bulletins have been fixed, they should no longer be garbled. MySpace has made more restrictions on what you can and cannot post in bulletins. Bulletins may still be slightly broken due to MySpace's msplinks.com system which sometimes doesn't send you where you want to go when you click a link on MySpace.

Deleted profile

2007-05-04T14:52:00.000-07:00

We're not sure what to make of this. MySpace has decided to delete our profile for absolutely no reason at all. They seem to be targeting other friend adding sites as well. Because of this, we are no longer able to offer support via MySpace. If you need to contact us, please do so through e-mail.

Bulletins fixed (for now)

2007-04-16T15:09:00.000-07:00

Bulletins have been updated and should now go through on MySpace. If you notice your bulletins not going through, let us know as MySpace most likely blocked us again (for no good reason!)

Broken bulletins

2007-04-13T13:30:00.000-07:00

MySpace has recently blocked all forms from being used in bulletins which means the SS Friendship bulletins will not go through. You can still get referrals by using the profile join box however. We are working on a fix to get around this newest MySpace restriction and should have things back to normal shortly.

Quick patch

2007-03-22T20:41:00.000-07:00

Hey folks, we just put up a patch that should fix the Invalid ID problem new members were having. MySpace recently updated their website which broke the part of SS Friendship that gets your MySpace display name and picture when you join - this is why you were getting the Invalid ID message.

Updates galore

2007-03-18T10:21:00.000-07:00

There have been several new updates over the past few days. Bulletins have been fixed - they will now show up correctly when you post them. The join box code has been fixed so it is now sized correctly. Last but not least - we've patched a hole which was being used by cheaters.

We will be changing the way our system selects people for you to add. This new change will help everyone get more friend adds as a whole. As stated in the last update, we are also working on a new way for points to be earned.

New profile code

2007-03-11T10:33:00.000-07:00

Our new profile code will allow you to put the SS Friendship join box right on your profile. Place it in your profile and start earning more points from referrals!

In other news, we are working hard on finishing a new feature that will allow you to earn thousands of bonus points. If you were thinking it is impossible to get into the Top 10 - not anymore!

Incase you haven't noticed..

2007-02-18T21:23:00.000-08:00

We are now bug free! The nasty point bug that affected a handfull of you has been squashed. We have been working around the clock to get some new sites up and running. Wait until you see it - it will be a completely new way to get friends on MySpace!

More fixes

2007-01-27T20:46:00.000-08:00

We've fixed a couple bugs this week - one of them being the point bug! You may have noticed the message regarding this bug, for those of you who haven't it reads:

*Notice* We are aware of the bug which is causing certain members points and referrals to be reset. If you are affected by this bug, please e-mail us (admin@ssfriendship.com) and let us know exactly which site features you were using when your points and referrals were reset. Thanks!

This notice will remain up until February when it will be removed. We will still adjust any lost points, just e-mail us.

Point bug

2007-01-16T13:55:00.000-08:00

Our server transition has brought with it a nasty bug as some users found out first hand. This bug is causing points to be reset. We are working on resolving this bug ASAP. If this bug has affected you, contact us through MySpace.

New server and updates

2007-01-15T09:05:00.000-08:00

Well we've done it - we're settled into our new server! We have also made some updates. Featured subscribers will now be shown on the front page of the site which should mean more adds for you. Because our new server is slightly different from our old one, some parts of the site were broken (the most obvious one being the sign in portion) - these bugs have been fixed, if you notice any more contact us. Lastly, this past week we put in a new feature which will basically remove inactive users from the website temporarily until they sign in again. This prevents the system from selecting a bunch of inactive people when it shows you people to add. What's this mean for you? Slackers who sign up and don't continue to add friends won't get any friend adds from you, which means more friend adds for you!

We are still working out details for a Flash version of our site.

Good news!

2007-01-08T23:09:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we purchased a brand new server which should speed up the website tremendously! We still have to set up the server when it comes in so we are aiming to have everything back to normal by this weekend. Coincidentally, this is enough time for the activity feature to catch all of the inactive people. This is pretty much SS Friendship 2.0!

That was short lived

2007-01-07T21:32:00.000-08:00

We're having more hosting problems now - just when the new update goes live! We have no idea how long this will take to sort out, hopefully it's resolved quickly.

Activity update is complete!

2007-01-07T20:16:00.000-08:00

Alrighty folks we have just put up a new update which adds a new feature to SS Friendship - this will affect everyone using SS Friendship so listen up!

Beginning today, if you have not logged in your SS Friendship account for a week or longer, your account will be marked as Inactive. Our system will only display members who are marked as Active, this means that if you haven't logged in for a week or longer you won't be displayed and you won't get any friend requests. This will help to get rid of inactive members, which in the long run means more friend requests for you!

Woops - our hosting fell down

2007-01-07T18:16:00.000-08:00

Our server has unexpectedly gone down, hang in there folks things should be back up and running shortly.

In other news: There will be another update tonight, starting tonight we will have a new activity monitoring system in. In a nutshell, if you haven't been active on SS Friendship for a week or longer, your account will be set to Inactive. This means you won't be shown on the site anymore, so you won't get friend requests. Once you log in again, your status will be set to Active once again. This will mean more adds for you all since inactive people will no longer mooch adds!

Quick bug fix

2007-01-06T20:59:00.000-08:00

We have fixed a small bug that was causing new members to get endless Invalid ID messages. If you find any other bugs, or have suggestions, let us know!

Our new blog!

2007-01-06T19:54:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! We've created a blog to act as a news page so you can read about any new features or updates that take place here at SS Friendship.
