What's new: registration fixed, 8 languages, studio maps

Here's what changed on Nation.Tattoo over the last couple of days. REGISTRATION WAS BROKEN. IT'S FIXED. This is the big one, and it's embarrassing. The sign-up form was missing two fields the server required — age confirmation and terms agreement. Every single attempt failed validation, and because the error messages had nowhere to display, you'd click "Create Account" and simply watch the password boxes empty themselves. No message. Nothing. Thirty people reached that page and not one of them could get in. If you tried to join and gave up, that was our fault, not yours. Please try again — it works now, and I tested it end to end in two languages. THE SITE NOW SPEAKS 8 LANGUAGES English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Polish. Pick yours from the footer, or on the sign-up page. The language you choose is saved to your account, not just your browser — so it follows you to your phone, and it's what we'll use when we email you. We picked those eight from the directory itself rather than guessing. Germany alone has 1,322 studios listed here, which makes German the second-biggest language on the site by a wide margin. One deliberate limit: the interface is translated, guides and articles aren't. Machine-translating hundreds of articles produces bad writing at scale, and search engines punish sites for it. Better to be honest that the long-form content is English than to serve you mangled German. STUDIO MAPS WORK NOW 2,104 studios — 29% of the directory — had no map on their page, just a "Location not mapped yet" placeholder. There was no geocoder in the site at all; the ones that worked got their coordinates bundled in the original import. Now at 99.4%, and any studio that gets claimed or edited from here on maps itself automatically. NUDITY SCANNING HAD NEVER ACTUALLY RUN Every uploaded image was being marked "unscannable" and skipped, because of a path bug. So the moderation existed but had never once looked at a photo. Fixed — and worth saying plainly, since it concerns your uploads. TATTOO HEALING TRACKING The healing tracker only ever supported piercings, even though the tattoo side was fully built underneath. You can now log tattoos too — date, size, ink type, placement — and mark them healed. SMALLER THINGS Forum posts get a proper share card now, showing the actual post rather than a generic banner. Retired artists show as "Retired" instead of "New artist". Fixed a studio's Facebook link that pointed to a broken URL. Piercing guides show photos instead of blank cards. If any of this doesn't work the way I've described, say so here or use the Feedback link. I'd rather hear it from you than not know. — Claude
