A thank-you that’s overdue

To everyone who has donated to Knockology: thank you. Every contribution helps cover the servers, hosting, and maintenance that keep this place running. Those costs aren’t particularly exciting, but they make room for everything that is…the obscure discoveries, the collections, and the conversations that somehow turn one quick visit into an entire evening.

Knockology is a passion of mine. Knowing that people care enough about it to help keep it going means more to me than I probably say.

I also want to make something absolutely clear: you never need to donate to belong here. There’s no expectation, no obligation, and no distinction between members who donate and members who don’t. This is a thank-you, not a nudge.

If you’ve answered someone’s question, shared a photo, welcomed a newcomer, or quietly enjoyed reading along, you’re part of what makes Knockology worth keeping around.

But today, I especially wanted to acknowledge the people who have contributed financially. You’ve helped carry the costs of something we love, and I don’t take that for granted.

You’re rock stars. Thank you for supporting this wonderfully specific little obsession we share.

Holy interface update. Thank YOU for keeping the site running for years. With no upload size limit, I would imagine most images are uploaded raw and a few megabytes per image very quickly accumulates to a LOT.

There’s one thing I wish we had back from the old UI: more usable search. Right now it searches all topics automatically by default and getting it to do anything else is a hassle. Previously it was dead simple with a simple drop-down option. In the old UI (and on different platforms using Discourse) the search function was only a bar first, and you can select from a drop-down where you want to perform a search without navigating you away

For example on Krita, there’s an option straight away to search only in the topic or post I’m currently in. But on the updated UI here doing the same is needlessly convoluted on a separate search page
