Version 1.0
Initial release.

Version 1.1
  • Creators can now additionally favorite other creators.
  • Rank system has been upgraded to include incentives for obtaining each:
    Bronze: No bonuses.
    Silver: +2 extra CaS submissions per week.
    Gold: +4 extra CaS submissions per week.
    As usual, extras will increment automatically per week. With the addition of forums bonus, a creator can now have a total of 8 CaS submissions per week.
  • "Comments to Website Team" is now added in addition to "Creator Comments". This allows a creator to give special instructions to the website team on recreating their character or anything else when submitting a CaS. Comments to website team will not be publicly displayed.
  • All floating (lightbox) windows are now no longer statically fixed, as it caused windows to be unable to be closed in lower screen resolutions (1440 x 900 or less).
  • Edit + Favorite functions are now far more recognizable with text.
  • Creators can now see exactly how many bonus CaS per week they are allotted in the Submit CaS page.
  • No content/comments text are now gray colored instead of being italic, as the latter was hard to read.
  • Spaces are now allowed in usernames.
  • All YouTube videos are now automatically played in HD whenever possible.
  • Submissions database is now back online and functional.
  • Creators joined count added to CaS statistics.
  • Comment forms will now automatically enter the creator's name, e-mail and website in the form fields.
  • All textarea form fields can now be infinitely enlarged vertically.
  • Validation on registration and profile edit; insert, submit and edit CaS has been greatly toughened. For example, you can no longer enter another creator's existing e-mail, masterlist ID, SEN ID and Xbox Live ID and use them.
  • Submissions + requests database links are added to navigation for easy access.
  • Website version changes log has been added to links.
  • Various minor interface changes and tweaks.
Administrative End:
  • "Lookup" is now changed to "Manage" (BETA). Manage is now an entirely new manager that also incorporates the previous function of Lookup. It displays all current creators and characters in a list system and quickly allows to edit details or delete them.
  • Changing a character's name in Edit CaS now automatically changes the file names of all images of that character to the new name. (REQUESTED)
  • "Administrative E-mails" is now added to all administrator's profile settings. Setting from the default "Receive All" to "Disable" will cause you to no longer receive any administrative type e-mails from the website. Please note that this includes CaS submissions, edits requests and contact us entries. (REQUESTED)
  • Top and left menus + periodic poll are now separated into their individual html file and called upon in each page that needs it. This allows the ability to change the links in the menus without worrying about having to change them on all pages.
  • Deleting a creator will now additionally delete all of the creator's characters.



What's to Come:
  • Links and Affiliates page up and running.
  • Manager for all creators, allowing for easy and simple management of all submitted characters, favorited characters and favorited creators.
  • Auto e-mail reply notification on all comments.
  • Ability to edit creators, delete creators/characters on the spot on the page, and deletion of news articles. Administrator only.

I've added an extra option in your edit profile page called "Administrative E-mails". You can set this to "Disable" and you will no longer receive any administrative type e-mails from the website. Please note that this includes CaS submissions, edits requests and contact us entries.

Database Manager has been updated to version 1.0.1. [Administrators only]

Database Manager Version 1.0.1

  • News articles database has been additionally added.
  • Submissions limit has been additionally added as a column to creators database.
  • Creator/author names are now hyperlinked to their respective profile pages.
  • Deletion will now also delete all of a character's images, if they are available.
  • Tables have a new appearance style. Refresh is required to see the changes.
  • Totals have been added as a footer for all tables.
  • Bug fix: Deleting characters would always result in nothing happening.
At the moment I'm currently unraveling version 1.2 of CreatiVe Souls, which would have a number of new features and changes. It should be available next month. It will also be the last version of the website.
