The "new pics" page displays all of the newly uploaded pictures for your viewing pleasure. I also updated the top 20 page to show more pictures at once, so you don't have to scroll so much. That is all for now. Possibly more minor improvements in the coming week.

Thank you all for flagging inappropriate pictures (i.e. pictures of models / children / nudity). Your help has removed about 20 inappropriate pictures so far.

Some of you may be wondering why every picture you've flagged hasn't been deleted. I'm currently trying to let the community (that is, all of you fans) decide what's appropriate for the site. Therefore, I'm only deleting pictures that have been flagged by multiple people. I'm still trying to figure out the number of flags required to delete a picture (which is a bit complicated, since it depends on how many people have seen the picture, etc.), which is why some flagged pictures haven't been deleted yet.

I'm also a bit confused by some of the pictures that have been flagged (this mainly applies to pictures flagged "other"). I thought I covered all of the common reasons for flagging a picture, but it looks like I was wrong. If you have been flagging pictures for some reason other than the three explicit ones (model / children / nudity), could you please let me know why? I'm sure you have a good reason, and I will delete the pictures once I learn the reason. Just send me an email or leave a comment.

Thanks again for flagging pictures; please keep at it! It's a huge help in cleaning up the site.

The comments have made it abundantly clear that some of the photos on the site aren't real or are inappropriate for other reasons. I've added a little "Flag" button on the vote page by each picture that lets you bring problems with photos to my attention. A picture that gets frequently flagged will be taken down.

This feature should finally address all the problems with model photos on the site. I really think they make the website less fun, but I have a hard time telling them apart from normal photos. Now, if you see a fake photo, just flag it, and I'll take care of it.

Thanks for bearing with all the bad photos for all this time. With your help, we can clean up the site and make it fun and real.

Rejoice! Now you can leave comments on pictures! Click the "leave a comment" link on either the main page or on the picture detail page. You need an account to leave comments.

This addition is the first step toward making millihelens more interactive. Depending on the reaction, I'll add more interactive features in the future.

The statistics browser I was talking about is done, but unfortunately the graphs are somewhat unclear. You can check out the statistics browser here. Just to get you started, here's a graph comparing blondes and brunettes. If you have any ideas to make the graphs clearer, let me know.

My friend and I started a puzzle website in the style of College Puzzle Challenge. The puzzles don't come with rules, and each one is different. To solve them, you may have to do anything from looking up river names on the internet to folding some origami. They're a lot of fun, and I encourage you to give them a shot!

(If you like the site, Digg it!)

Also, for all you math-y types who like statistics (e.g. me), I have something cool in the works for millihelens. It's a score browser that lets you compare the score distributions of various tags. Soon we'll be able to answer the age-old question: are blondes really hotter than brunettes?

I'm also working on adding comments for the pictures, and finally releasing user-to-user messaging. I've debated the messaging feature for a long time: on the positive side, it will let you meet people on millihelens, but on the negative side, there's potential for harassment. I've decided that I'll give it a shot and hope that some people don't ruin it for everyone. These changes should be up in around two weeks.
