Firefox, XP, quick replying right now. So far so good.

I just upgraded the Community. The developers have already fixed some issues reported on this forum that will go into the next release.

I'm a software developer too, and I've given my code far more nefarious and painful glitches.

There have been delays and part of the reason is that I've stopped getting notifications on posts that the software has snagged as a spam suspect. So I'm just logging in and approving them.

David had written a great spam thing that is disabled in this version, so that is a problem.

We'll get there. I mean, many of the problems that were here a week ago are gone.

Thanks, by the way, for not assuming that just because a post doesn't appear or is sent for moderation that we don't like you or something. This is purely a software issue.

I've noticed a huge delay (10 minutes) from when I post a reply to when it appears, without any explaination as to why. Am I alone in this?

Oh I see, it works now :)

Thanks

Users could lie about the reason for editing, anyways. I think putting a timestamp on each edit and allowing other users apply their own levels skepticism to each post with a late edit is probably the balance between usability and readability.

What's the point of requiring edit notes if they aren't visible to other posters?

Oh, I didn't realize that. I can see them as an administrator.

When I typed in "Edit Note", it was visible. What did I do wrong?

Ah! I see.

This sentence is an edit.

The problem is that I made the "Edit Note" required, but the page doesn't tell you that.

Nope, I still can't edit. The page just reloads whenever you hit "post", and I'm not sure what box mr_a was talking about. There are boxes for "edit notes", but that doesn't do anything to the post.

Youre right, sorry. Testing editing Edit Note

I had the same problem with editing, I'll see if mr_a is right... TEST
