The First Week

So it's one week in, and things seem to be going pretty well. There have been a couple of downtime blips, but overall I'm please with how the site has been holding up. After a week of listmaking, how do you guys think things are going?
Functionally, the one big missing piece is that new comment notifications are still broken. I added a star icon to your content listing which indicates when there are new comments on your posts (similar to the old site) however I still don't have anything good to notify you when someone follows up to one of your comments. I hope to have a solution to this in the coming week.
Please let me know if there is anything else broken or missing.
Thanks!
I see there is underscore for the links in comments, it would be great for the lists too, because it's clearer.
I miss the option that you can save a list without put it on the update page when the change are minors (like typo).
heyrocker, do you have an eta on the email notifications? -thanks
Quick question guys, how do you make something gray again? I've never done it before but now I want to make my lists look a bit cleaner but I have drawn a blank on how to do it. Thanks in advance, and sorry for a silly question like this!
Oh and I love the new site! MUCH friendlier interface than the last one IMHO.
Hahaha I figured it out guys and gals, sorry for the stupid post, I misspelled "gray" with "grey". We all have stupid moments... maybe me more than others though LOL.
Yes, but can we take another color than gray. I try but the other colors seem not to work.
Some recent saves deleted about half the content, tho the preview worked fine. I don't want to test it more to figure out the reproducing steps because that'd clog up the recent updates with my stuff.
Love it. It looks so professional. Thanks for keeping the site alive.
Guess you know about the warnings that are popping up on every page.
Should be back to normal, let me know if there are any more problems!
I'm enjoying the refreshed site, but I do fear I'm not getting all my email notifications for comments on my lists or comments...
Shalom, y'all!

hai i am commer to this site can u advice me how good is it
Yah they are broken. I am looking at a solution that will work slightly differently, but still be good
I tend to have a problem with numbered lists, look at the most recent I've actualized, the 2009 list, for example, the number's do not match.
There was a problem with highlighting + numbering that I've fixed. Let me know if you encounter any more problems!
i love the site. thanks for taking the reins.
minor issues:
1) i cannot suppress a bullet and highlight a line of text at the same time.
2) could you make the color of hyperlinks different? it is hard to tell when text is linked.
thanks!
"2) could you make the color of hyperlinks different? it is hard to tell when text is linked."
Exactly the same. Can you put another color and/or underline it, like casual links?
I have committed a fix that should fix the problem with _+ or +_. Let me know if this continues.
Bullet + highlight sounds like a bug, I'll look into that. I'll also look into the link color, a couple other people have commented on that.
Maybe I need a suggested features list and a bug list.
You know I'm a big fan of the site. Really, congratulations, heyrocker!
That said, I miss the Recent Activity page that combines all comments and list content updates into one page. If that isn't feasible, is it still possible to just have a page where one can just see the actual list content changes, all in one page? Currently I can see which lists were updated, but there's no way to focus my attention on what's new. Thanks!
Unfortunately there's not really an easy way to do this right now. I am keeping the different versions of a page, but I don't have a way to show the additions / differences. I'll add it to the list though.
Where is recent posts?
If you roll over Browse at the top left, you can find Recent Comments there.
Thankyou. Maybe I'm just a little homesick from the old site, I'm finding it a little weird to get used to.
I think the site's pretty neat. I love the changes like the way boxes can be expanded and the logo is spot on.
Would it be possible for lists to be displayed just once on the content page, instead of once per tag? They could be arranged by the first tag for the list.
I have had requests for it both ways, there are some problems involved there. For instance, the tags are not sortable, so once you decide on where it should be listed you are stuck. I will continue thinking about this and attempting to come up with solutions.
If its wanted both ways, I suppose one could have an option in preferences.
I see the stars are working, thanks!
