Progress

Posted by Jesse Andrews on May 25, 2008

Implemented several requests and am planning several other features/fixes thanks to your input.

I think the new feedback tab has worked out pretty good. I dislike that it requires a new user account with uservoice (the service that I'm using), but it was much quicker than implementing the service myself, allowing me to focus on fixing the site.

So far the fixed list includes:

unmonitoring of topics in the forum works
don't allow flash embeds in comments/forums
show the time a userscript was uploaded as well as the last update time
fixed logged exceptions rails plugin so admins can see when issues occur
comments are editable
users can delete their own comments
comment creation/editing uses forum bottom box style
a link to add a comment at the top of the userscript's comment list
updated links to beast (forum software) and famfamfam (icons)
remove users who haven't verified their email (unactivated) after 3 days
expose comment feed on userscripts page
expose feeds of updates to your favorite scripts and comments on all your scripts (see /users/me after you login)

I plan to keep fixing things as fast as possible, so keep telling me what needs fixed.

Great stuff. One thing: the number of favourites on each script's page displays as "91 people has favorited this script" so it just needs a small English correction.

Cheers!

love the new changes, though ive noticed a bug and also a security hole in the site.

the bug is on these blog pages (not sure if its the same on rest of site) if the page has been scrolled down some way, then you click the feedback tab, the feedback div displays back at the top of the page, showing only half the feedback div, but you cannot scroll the page back up to see it fully, as the page becomes frozen.

ive emailed the details of the security hole to jesse and britt (at their gmail addresses listed on the about page)

There could be an ID for the script comments table.
If a script has a very long description, it would be nice to be able to add a link in the description that will jump down to the comments.
Currently, the IDs and anchors are unique to each comment, which, of course, move down with each new comment.

And still, the home page needs a left margin (other than auto), as you can see as you decrease the browser width (or use large fonts).

Just wondering when the new batch of fixes/features will be deployed.
People have given there votes, but only 8 of them are completed.
Tho some are very much work to implant, others aren't that hard.
Just wondering...

@jerone, there hasn't been visible progress, but progress on backend stuff has been happening. I'll try to get some user-facing features released this weekend.
