I agree.
Keep it up Brandon.

Also, why do I keep on getting randomly logged out of CD? This happened before the upgrade, but it has always annoyed me, especialy when I try to post and it asks me to log in again. Is it something I'm doing that I don't know about, or is it some sort of error? Any chance of it stopping?

Try checking your browsers setting for cache. Also, there is an edit button on each of your posts (that is there for about a 24 hours after the post is created) which may come in handy, and help control the amount of posts on Chief Delphi.

Sorry.

Brandon...you are amazing... You need a looooooong vacation...to somewhere with no computers and code...somewhere where you can just laze around for a few days.

Brandon the Button i used to press that shouted BIG MIKE ROCKS is gone... I think that it should be brought back

I don't know if this is on purpose... but you can no longer upload an animated GIF as an avatar. If this is on purpose, would you like me to change mine to a non-animated image?

When I changed it back from the super-general "2 weeks ago, 1 day ago, etc." I went too far. "today / yesterday" is back now.

Thats part of the whole usercp reputation fix that has yet to happen.

Ah yes -- I'll have to see how easy that is to write a plugin to accomplish it.

Weird. 15 minutes is the normal logout if you don't click 'Remember me' when logging in. Try clearing your cookies & cache .. see if that helps anything.

It wasn't intentional. Are you sure it isn't just the image you're trying to upload? If you can't get it .. e-mail it to me and I'll give it a shot (or fix whats wrong with it ..).

[Brandon Martus]

I've installed a plugin that shows the last reputation given in your user cp. It is a temporary fix until I write a plugin that works like it used to (multi-paged, with an option to PM them).

I thought working on CD was a vacation for Brandon.

Keep up the good work.

Great work, Brandon!

The only thing I've noticed is the 200 pixel limiter on signatures isn't working.

One quirk I've discovered: When you have a new posts search (and possibly other searches) that have no results, you get the header (which is an awesome addition), but neither Spotlights nor the event countdowns show at the top. The place exists for them (the [more] links show), but the actual data doesn't show.

[Rob2713g]

One thing that I noticed: if I'm not logged in, when I click search and type in my querry, it directs me to advanced search and makes me type in the letters and numbers in a box for verification. Not sure if this is on purpose or not.

Nitpicky: When I try to give reputation it automatically selects the "neutral" and "I approve" buttons.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Links don't open in a new window.

Yeah, I'll have to see how I can detect when it's an error and not show those things. It doesn't run the data to put in that stuff until it starts composing a page.

Hmm .. the CSS is there. I'll have to play with it and figure out why its not working.

Yeah, this is to prevent bad things from happening by automated bots. People can really kill a server by automating an attack by searching a whole bunch of times. The captcha, although not completely effective, will slow it down a bit.

Typo -- should be fixed.
