  • SUBSCRIPTION UPDATES


    Two updates on the Subscriptions front:


    1) ALPHABETICAL ORDER



    You can now alphabetize your Subscriptions with a single click:



    Heck, we figured some of you might want to sort your Subs by “Last Updated” too.  So we threw that in there too…  enjoy!


    2) RENAMED SUBSCRIPTION LINKS



    When we renamed the “Sites I Read” as “Subscriptions”, we started getting reports that some users couldn’t read or edit their Subscriptions.


    We looked into this, and in turned out that in almost all cases a “word replace” JavaScript Code has been installed.  Somehow, that script interfered with the word “subscriptions” in various links.  Our initial recommendation to troubled users was to remove the script. 


    But we wanted to take care of our users, so we removed the word “subscriptions” from all of our links.  So for example, subscriptions.aspx is now subs.aspx.  If you have any bookmarks out there, don’t worry – we’ve set up redirects for any old URLs, so you shouldn’t notice any difference.


    Two other small nits: we heard that Netscape 7.0 and Safari users were having trouble uploading profile pics, so we patched that up.  And someone made a script which auto-joined you to a blogring.  We’ve disabled the JavaScript that made this possible…
