Cory;
I see real progress here. That is good!
I see fairly decent load times on most stories I click on.
There is still a fairly major problem with the recent activity page. It is extremely slow to load and it does not accurately keep track of what I have read.
The insert photo script is strange sometimes I can insert photos and sometimes not. I almost always use externally hosted images and hand code the HTML so no biggie for me but most of our users are not able to do this.
The "Your Diary" link in the user box on right is MIA and while there are work arounds we really should get that back.
Since we moved we have been under constant assault from what I call Diary Spammers. Must have gotten exposure moving here we did not have before.
I believe we can eliminate that more or less by simply having a 24 to 48 hour delay on activation of new accounts or I would gladly go thru a list daily and hand activate new joins if that could be done. Certainly be easier than going thru all the hassle of waiting for user edit pages clicking the required buttons to eliminate the post and anon the user, giving it my password for the 2 to 5 we get some days. We have to do something because it is getting ridiculous. DanB always resisted doing this but, frankly, it adds too much to our workload here so I don't think it is too much to ask new joins to sit on their hands awhile before posting.
If you would prefer to discuss this in private my email in my profile [not public] is still in use.
Or come over to irc.otherpower.com #otherpower and join the IRC I pop in and out there most days.
Thanks.
Tom
