A quick technical update

  • It will take us a few days to do some profiling on the site and optimize the interaction among Drupal, PHP, and MySQL. Until then, you may occasionally have to put up with a slow server or an incomplete page load. Please be patient while we tweak things!
  • I've noticed there's a problem with listing a user's comments (e.g., http://www.theoildrum.com/user/Super+G/comments)--not all of them are showing up. Don't worry, the comments are all in the database and they show up in the stories, but they just don't show up through that particular view. I plan to address this soon.
  • There have been a lot of requests for the feature that enables you to slice out a single thread from story's comments. This feature is in the works.
  • [UPDATE] Some people have told me that they've requested the password reset email but haven't received it. Some filters are flagging it as spam, so please check your spam folder before emailing me.
