News feed news

For old time members of rw-designer, the changes to their profile pages were probably the most significant. There is much to be said about the new profile pages, but in this blog post, I only want to focus on one part of old user profiles - the news feed.

Quick change: the number of items that each user can offer for sale has been limited to 3. Otherwise, the flea market will be too messy. Attempting to add more will now fail, just think about what you really want to sell.

More about comment up/downvoting

Let's have a closer look on how comment upvoting and downvoting works. It is not particularly complicated, but I have noticed some misconceptions about how it interacts with the karma system.

One week later

As expected, there were numerous problems with the new web and I have been fixing them every day. Let's talk about some of the solved problems and about some of the new features.

The big switch

The enhancements to this web site script have been in preparations for more than a year. In the recent weeks I did not have much time to work on it, so the progress was slow and it looked like it would take too long to finish everything. So, I have decided to take a risk and I will be switching the main web to the new script very soon, likely during the night from Sunday to Monday (depending on your time zone).
