It's an extreme circumstance that makes me do this. You see, I try to be good: I'm nice to people, try to listen to even the flamers, never charge people for bug fixes, so on and so forth. But this time I'm going to beg for something in return.
Please vote for us in the Halloween poll.
Actually, you don't even have to vote exclusively for us, if you don't want to. I won't ask you to go against your conscience, and I will confess that the art team did a rockin' job. We don't have wallpapers, or little banners, or cute faux-bokeh photographs. Other than omgwhat, we suffer from a definite lack of artistic talent. Just make us a solid #2, at least, and we'll be happy -- I know you've got a bunch of bank mules. Give us a couple of votes!
Posting Form
The posting form is in QA and we should be rolling it out soon. We hope you'll like it, we think it's much better than the current one:
A few things of note:
- the posting area is HUGE. Much bigger than the current one, and it represents a massive Texas-sized textarea for you to write your masterpiece.
- Post actions are on the right side, easily accessible
- Some of the toolbar buttons open up a floating palette -- you can see an example in the screenshot, the "text size" button was clicked and the floating palette dragged off to the side.
- Loading of emoticons and whatnot has been optimized so the form comes up much faster
Brunosmad and foobarbazquux worked on this, so give them a big thanks next time you see them!
Cash Shop Update
The announcement said that a "corrupted file" was causing the problem, which is about as accurate as you can get in one sentence, but in reality some headers that were passing between us and our CDN weren't consistent, and it caused everything to a) load really slowly, and b) look really ugly. We think we've got the issue licked, and we'll push it out Thursday morning.
