• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Screenshot 2026-04-11 at 11-43-54 Litopia – The Net's Oldest Writers' Colony.pngI think we’ve finished adding major features to the Updates function… you’ve probably noticed it both in the Colony and on the Platform home page.

We’ve also added quite a big Updates section to the Help Guide… why don’t you click on it and browse through it… thoughts, comments and feature requests more than welcome.
 
The updates look fantastic, and they are quick and easy to do.

But is there any way of editing after posting?
And inserting links?

I just posted an update with a link that doesn't work, so I wanted to sort it out.

There’s now a 24-hour window to edit each Update starting from its post date/time. If you need to edit after 24 hours, really the best thing to do it to delete and re-post.

Edited posts will have a small “edited” icon next to them.

The design for the my-updates page isn’t done yet, some features are there (e.g. delete button) but hardly visible!

Let me check...
