The changes (and please note that I am unofficial, and I didn't work on the code, so I may have missed some details):
* 14+ is now NSFW, and is an age-independent viewing preference. Instead of being a restriction, it is more an indication of adult content level.
* (if I understand the discussion and code right) We no longer check for age for posts marked with the NSFW level, since everyone on the service will be 13+. However, we still check for age for posts marked 18+
* in that vein, site text now says "this page should be viewed with discretion", instead of "this journal may contain adult concepts", etc.
* If you choose to see interstitial pages, based on your viewing preferences, change the handling of interstitials so that it shows every time you visit a new entry, under the assumption that if you asked to see interstitials, it is because you want to avoid accidentally seeing something that you didn't want to see (the interstitial contains the reason for why the user marked something as NSFW/18+)
* and so that the above change won't be annoying, don't show interstitials for a particular entry if you've already clicked through. This is so that you can click on individual comment threads, without having to open a new interstitial page each time (this "remembers" that you've viewed the entry for up to 30 minutes or so)
* under-18 users still can't skip the interstitial page, though :-)
* oooh found code comment which states the desired logic, in shorter form than I did:
# logged in users with a defined age of under 18 are blocked from explicit adult content # logged in users with a defined age of under 18 are given a confirmation page for adult concepts depending on their settings # logged in users with a defined age of 18 or older are given confirmation pages for adult content depending on their settings
* prettier icons!
* fix the logic so that the 18+/NSFW icons also show if the journal is marked 18+/NSFW. Peviously, it showed only if the entry was marked 18+/NSFW.
Didn't notice if there were any changes to the logic for logged out users.
