The list at - http://www.southperry.net/showgroups.php

*Note that due to changes in how facebook notifies about page announcements, if you want to subscribe to these notices you may have to "Like" the Southperry page and select "Get Notifications" if you want to be informed of these updates as they occur. This is true even if you've previously Liked the page.

[Eos]

Testing a new ad provider.
This may result in Starving Chinchillas for more of you than usual while the new provider becomes accustomed to our demographic and load and tries to find appropriate content to serve. Think of it as calibrating and take don't the little guys personally if you're already white-listing us.


This was aborted and reverted back to Google. Too many issues, too poor performance.

[Eos]

Users who are unregistered and/or not logged in no longer see signatures.

This is mostly to avoid the jillions of stupid webcrawlers out there that erroneously index signatures as part of our content. I had rules in place in our previous webserver that could detect the majority of those and set a flag that accomplished the same thing but the new one can not replicate that well and frankly it saves us bandwidth and makes pages load faster to just suppress those from guests anyway.

[Eos]

Fixed glitch in "Q&A" where tenured users ( 1 year + ) couldn't close their own Q&A threads.

Added "Should I" forum to list of forums where users can close their own threads.

[Eos]

[Eos]

Google Plus, +1 buttons added to posts.

Minor tweak to it, it was stuck showing thread level only, now at post level.

Minor tweak to stop the +1 from appearing in PMs and non-post elements. May adjust again later to make it appear on blog posts and comments.

[Eos]
