Old forum closing for renovations Tuesday evening

by: pogge

Mon Nov 27, 2006 at 17:19:21 PM EST

Tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at around 9pm I'm going to make the old forum read-only for a while so I can upgrade the software without blowing up the internets. I've learned to announce these things in as many places as I can think of.

All things being equal it should only take about an hour and when we reopen, we'll have a new spam control feature. You remember spam, don't you? I've already posted a thread over there and I'll update that after the upgrade to hit the high points.

There's nothing on the flip.

Experiment: Recent Diaries moved up over Recommended Diaries box. Which is better?

Personally I like Recommended over Recent, but it doesn't really matter to me.

Rec on top

I like the Recomended over the Recent because Recent turns over so fast. I'd like to see a MUCH bigger Recommended, though. Is this possible through the personal settings?

even further.

Rec over Recent

Well, I have my "Recents" set at 99 so that pushes the "Recommended" waaaay down there... so I have to go past even the really old ones to get to Recommended! Therein the preference. :-)

I like recent over recommended, it seems

like really important news/facts can get lost in the shuffle without the ability to bump (but maybe I just haven't become aware of all the new features yet).

Recent over recommended

I like recent diaries first, then recommended. I find myself scrolling past recommended diaries to get to recent ones. I like to see what's new.

Oh and since I haven't said it yet... thanks to all of you for all the great work you have done on the new site. it will take some getting used to, but I know we will all wonder how we ever got along without it.

Natural selection is at work all the time.

Recommended over Recent

I can always get a list of the most recent by using the "Diaries" option in the Menu (top right)

Almost!
