changes: Minor changes - 05/03/07 02:35 PM
We put up a few minor changes this morning: Spam: We're testing a new spam filter for comments called Akismet. It's a bit of a black box affair where we send them the comment (and IP, user agent, etc.) and they tell us if it's spam or not. In testing on our (82 comments)
changes: New ActiveRain Search Engine - 02/03/07 06:53 AM
First, I'm sure you all noticed the new blog dashboard... I'm sure Matt, Jon or Caleb will be doing a post explaining that later this morning. We scrapped our old search engine and replaced it with something new, which, we hope, will work better. Please let us know if you think it's (46 comments)
changes: Associates ordering, Localism location search, Blog Comment search - 02/01/07 07:11 AM
There are a few minor changes this morning... Associates: I tried to clean up the ordering. I'm still working on this but this version allows you to drag/drop people in your associates groups up and down to change their order. I'll be adding something similar to allow you to move people between (24 comments)
changes: Spell Checker plus Improved Ways of Contacting You - 01/27/07 10:14 AM
We FINALLY added a spell checker to the editor. Really sorry about the very, very, very long wait. To use the spell checker just click the ABC check mark box on the right side of the editor tool bar. It will then underline spelling mistakes with red-squiggles... just click on the (74 comments)
changes: Change in Blog Entry Post Date - 01/10/07 07:05 AM
We received a bunch of suggestions about being able to change the blog entry post date. While you still can't change it (because that would lead to people placing their blog post a the top over and over again) we did make a change making Draft mode be more usable. When you (83 comments)
changes: Visible Online? - 12/11/06 07:09 AM
You asked for it, you got it! You can now opt out of being visible online. So lurk away! There's a new setting. When logged in, go to My Home. Click on Settings in the left hand nav and you should see, under General, "Allow others to see when you're online". (36 comments)
changes: Sorry about the crash! - 09/25/06 09:32 AM
We went down for a few hours this morning. We're using pretty bleeding edge development tools on this site which is part of the reason we can crank out new features so fast.... well - one of those tools just bit us pretty hard. Apparently the code we're using for the (34 comments)
changes: Changes: 3 post limit for scoring, associate group descriptions, a few bugs - 09/05/06 11:52 PM
Just a couple of small changes. We were getting a lot of negative feedback about our open ended scoring on blogs (which was actually a mistake on my part but we thought we'd let it slide for a few days) ... so it's back to 3 blogs posts a day for automatic (15 comments)
