@Caldor, Avatar? I’m going to sound stupid but what the hell is an avatar!

@AceJay, Not entirely sure about the avatar; I’ve been trying to figure that out myself. I thought it might tie to a Wordpress account but I haven’t been able to find any corroboration to this. If I can’t find a way to allow people to edit them–and I want to, because I think it’s neat–then I might try to shut them off. Still playing around with some of the new features, but I agree with you that the threading comments are a huge upgrade.

@AceJay, I actually don’t want to clog the sidebar too much with that many recent comments (I did have it at 10, but it got REALLY large unless I sliced the character count down significantly). You actually might want to subscribe to the comments RSS if you use an RSS reader at all, since sometimes we get more than 5 or 10 comments all at once–especially when I approve a bunch of things from the moderation queue.

I’m considering doing something different with the recent comments in general, so its possible that would fix things but I’m really just in experimental mode right now. It’s totally crazy! Anything could happen!

OH, and an Edit button, ahaha.

Also, could you increase the numer of Recent Comments to 7 or 10? I’ve missed a few important comments due to the limit being five.

I’m loving the Reply feature. Helps things stay organized. Too bad there’s no Quote button.

Also, how are we supposed to change the little avatar over our names now?

@Menutia, I’m having trouble getting the banner to be linked back to home without it overriding the search function. It should be working now, anyway, but the banner doesn’t link anywhere. There’s a “home” link right under the banner so maybe it doesn’t matter anymore but I feel like for continuity of usability, the banner should link. Oh well.

Thanks for kicking on it guys… you’re helping me identify the trouble spots a lot more quickly!

Always a wealth of knowledge whenever I visit!

Now, about the search feature in the top banner… Just a Bug alert or if you know it’s down, ignore me.

@Mr.D, Fixed. Thanks for catching that. There was no DB call in the page template for some reason.

Just noticed something else.
Where the heck did the comments for the “Help Us” go off to?
