Day 3: Messages Still Suck..and now comments

Ok. Alessandra notified me of a problem where work in protected sections can't be commented on. I'm looking into it. I will offer solutions as i find them. Oh, and i'm still waiting to hear back from support on the mail problem. There won't be IM's but at least there will be email contact -- with hidden addresses.

Day 4: The suffering

Well, today i looked into upgrading the server. More space. More speed. Updated software. So, let us see how that goes. I'm optimistic that we'll get somewhere. I think my messenger problem is due to old software on the server. I've needed to upgrade for a while, but  I hate spending the money.

Day 8: The Beginning?

*****

In some ways, I feel like things are actually starting now. There definitely is a learning curve here that is making many people uncomfortable. However, there also seems to be a slow movement towards functionality that is reassuring. Perhaps this will work! The negativity I think is fair and warranted since I have in the last 6mos really let down the community in a big way. Hopefully we'll be back on track in the next few weeks.

Don't panic

DOing some maintanance this weekend. No big deal. Everything's completely backed up.
we're in good shape. I'm just trying to fix a few minor bugs. (nah, i'm not going to point them out to you!)

Anyways, you'll notice a bit of weirdness here and there, but hopefully i'll be happier when it's done.

Formatting Poetry and Writing

Ok... I switched
I switched your editor from YACS to FCKeditor. FCKeditor is a wysiwyg editor, meaning like word. You can actually bold, ital, and line break and it'll hold formating. You'll see.

If you have problems due to the fact that it's a javascript and you've disabled that, it's in your preferences, and you can put it back to the 'yacs' editor.
