August 11, 2026 update

✨ Added

• 🆕 Mangala is here! Turkish Mangala has been added to the Games section. No dice, no luck — it's pure strategy. When it's your turn, the pits you can play are highlighted and you move with a single click. If your last stone lands in your own store, you play again; if you make an opponent's pit an even number, you take the whole pit. Full rules: How to play Mangala.
• 🆕 Pişti is here! Two-player Pişti tables are open. Match the card on the table and take the whole pile; match it when there's only one card on the table and it's a PİŞTİ. The Jack always takes. Cards are truly hidden: your opponent's hand is never sent to your browser, and spectators can't see anyone's hand. Full rules: How to play Pişti.
• 🆕 Checkers is here! Turkish Checkers has been added to the Games section — find an opponent, set up a table or watch games in progress. The rules are complete: pieces move one square forward, left or right (never backward), capturing is mandatory and you must play the move that captures the most pieces; captured pieces are removed immediately. If you can keep capturing with the same piece, it's still your turn. A piece that reaches the far edge becomes a ♛ king: it moves any distance in all four directions and captures from afar. You win when your opponent runs out of pieces or has no moves left.
• At the Checkers table, when you select a piece, the squares it can move to are highlighted and the piece you'll capture is marked in red; a piece that must keep capturing blinks as a reminder. The board also shows the number of pieces left and a trace of your opponent's last move.
• The "how to play" guide at the game table now explains each game's own rules.
• A rules page for Checkers is ready: How to play Checkers — moving pieces, mandatory captures, chain captures, becoming a king and long-range captures are explained one by one. It's also linked at the bottom of the game page.
• The What's New page is live — the page you're reading right now. You can follow what's changed on the site here.
• Recipe pages now have ratings — click a star to vote, no sign-up needed.
• Recipes without a photo now get a custom cover image, so they no longer look empty in search results and when shared. Cookbooks have been refreshed with covers too.
• The recipe box on the home page now shows different recipes every time.
• The nick protection system is live: nicks that go unused for a long time expire, and you get an email warning before that happens. Unconfirmed accounts are also deleted after a set period and the nick becomes available again. The time limits can be adjusted by the admins.
• Even if your nick expires, what you've written isn't deleted — comments and posts stay, only the link to the author is removed.
• If a channel owner's nick expires, the channel is left without an owner; someone with privileges in that channel can re-register it.
• Registering a channel now requires having privileges in that channel.
• Channel info now lists all channel options that have been set (the key and password only show as "set" — their values aren't shown).
• Chat channels can now have a message history window — people joining a channel can see the latest conversation.
• In the chat window, you can now also comment on dream interpretations and videos.
• A Most played list has been added to the game pages.

🛠 Fixed

• The game lobby was selecting the wrong game: while on the "Backgammon" tab, the game box said "Checkers", and clicking "Find opponent" opened a table for the wrong game. Fixed — the box now matches the open tab.
• When selecting a piece at the game table, some of the squares it could move to weren't highlighted; fixed.
• In the chat window, comments weren't showing on news, horoscope, biography, movie and TV series pages — they're back.
• The social feed window couldn't be scrolled; fixed.
• In the chat window, TV Series, News and similar windows were cut off on the right — they now open at full width.
• On mobile, the user list couldn't be scrolled; swiping your finger opened the menu instead. Scrolling now works freely, and you press and hold to open the menu.
• When the chat disconnected, it didn't reconnect if you were on another tab; you had to press the button manually when you came back. It now reconnects on its own in the background too.
• When the chat disconnected, the friends, following and groups lists froze on "Loading" — they now refresh once the connection is back.
• Some links were missing from the Discover box on the home page (Recipes, Movies, TV Series) — they're all back.
• Long titles were being cut off on recipe cards; card images are now all the same size too.
• On game pages, the game list on the side stretched all the way down the page; it's now two short lists.
• Text in the "Did you know" box was hard to read in the light theme; the colors have been made clearer.
• Ads were being placed inside the boxes — landing in the middle of the hero area and stretching boxes for no reason. They're now shown between the boxes.
• Some widget titles weren't showing at all.
• The TV guide showed a single program all day. Some programs in the schedule had wrong end times; one such entry lasting 26 hours both blocked the list and stopped the guide from refreshing itself. The real schedules of more than 140 channels now show up, and the guide refreshes itself reliably.
• On the left side of the chat window, the Cinema / On TV Today / Latest Posts tabs were mixed up: the cinema list appeared under the TV tab, while the Cinema tab was left completely empty. Each tab now shows its own content.
• Tabs showed the same name twice, one under the other (the tab name and the box title right below it). If a tab has only one box, its title is now hidden, and the gap at the top is gone.
• In the cinema box, showtimes and movie titles were hard to read in the dark theme; the colors have been made clearer.
• In the chat window, the status strip couldn't be scrolled; the scrolling that worked in other lists didn't work there.

⚡ Improved

• A game rule settings section has been added on the admin side: move time, waiting for an opponent, disconnect tolerance and points are managed there. When a new game is added, its settings are added to the list automatically.
• Boxes on the home page now sit side by side at the same height, and their content adjusts to fit. The layout on mobile stays the same.
• No ads are shown on the chat and radio pages — to prevent accidental clicks.
• The information recipe pages provide to search engines is now complete (time, servings, ingredients, date, rating).
• The YudumSosyal page is now presented to search engines as an app; the release notes are linked to it too.
• Content shortcuts in the admin panel have been expanded, and a separate section has been added for release notes.
• Boxes in the chat window were linked to tabs by their names; even an extra space in a tab name could break the link and make boxes silently disappear. Spelling differences are now ignored, and a box whose place is unclear is shown in the first tab instead of disappearing.
• When you drag a new box onto a tab, the tab automatically takes that box's name — no need to type the same name twice.
