Pick everything you're into rather than five fixed labels, and choose what your page leads with. There's a longer about page if you want one — and if you'd rather keep a short bio, that's a finished profile and nothing will nag you. The blog has a Guides section, posts take headings and pictures now, and events that can only be booked ahead finally say so instead of looking like you can turn up.
What you're into
Pick as many kinks, communities and roles as you like, from a vocabulary of thirty-nine rather than a choice of five. Your page shows the one community and the one role you choose to lead with — a page listing eleven labels says nothing about a person.
Tap a badge you don't recognise and it explains the word, written for exactly the person who'd tap it.
The directory finds you by everything you picked, not just what you lead with. Someone into rope who shows Leather is still found by a person looking for riggers.
Signing up asks two questions with a “Rather not say” answer on both, instead of five buttons.
A longer page about you, if you want one
There's now a page at collr.app/your-handle/about for the things a bio has no room for: how you got into this, your first event, the gear you wear. Answer any of the questions that appeal and skip the rest.
An at-a-glance strip can carry your pronouns, where you're based and how long you've been in the scene — each one optional on its own.
All of it is optional, including the page. A short bio on its own is a finished profile, nothing counts how much you've filled in, and the “Read more” link only appears if there's something behind it. Clear the fields and the page goes away again.
It's drawn in your own theme, like the rest of your page, and like every profile it's never indexed by search engines.
The blog
A Guides section at collr.app/blog/guides, gathering the writing by what it's for — getting started, culture and history, safety and consent, gear and kit — so a question has somewhere to land.
Posts can now use headings, lists and links, and writers can put pictures in a piece. Pictures are uploaded to Collr rather than linked from elsewhere, so reading a post doesn't quietly tell another site that you're reading it.
Events
Events sold through a ticketing site now carry their booking link and say you need to book ahead. Some showed a free ticket with no way to buy one and nothing to say you couldn't pay on the door — which is the kind of thing that puts somebody on a train for nothing.
Where an event is marked as having explicit content, Collr now says “Explicit” rather than “18+”. Almost every event here is adults-only and hardly any of it is explicit, and organisers were ticking a box that quietly hid their night from search engines and from anybody not logged in.
