 I wanted to keep the toolbar uncluttered and to reduce the number of buttons in order to keep it simple to use.

I didn't think the <code> tag was nessecary since anything that you type in the editor appears with the same formatting in the post. What is the advantage now of the <code> tag? Other than changing the font of the text?

Will come back...

 In updating the site, I needed to find new versions of most of the site's modules. Apparently I forgot to re-enable the Subscriptions module.

I will find a replacement and install it shortly.

Changed to old behaviour...

Will 1781
January 31 2008

 As with many changes, I did not intentionally change this functionality.

Fortunately, I was able to change it to work as you are used to.

Not been changed...

That page is being generated by a Drupal table generation method.

I did not make any changes to the page to change its appearance, and I don't know a way to force the table to be fixed width.

Can you post a screenshot of the problem? It looks fine to me.

Myself as Well...

 By logging into two differentbrowsers on the same machine, I am now in the "Who's Online" list twice as well.

Still, I am not going to worry about this since its unlikely to happen often and doesn't stop anyone from using the site.

 I took the site down and completely reset the user points (Deleted the points table). Things should be back to normal now

Better?...

 I removed the <maple> tags that you put around the Matrix syntax.

That caused a lot more content to appear. Does it look as you expected now?

I saw that bug occassionally on the old version as well. I'm not going to worry about it. Perhaps Jakubi has an explanation...

IE 6...

Will 1781
January 31 2008

 I just found a machine with IE 6 on it still, and I get the same behaviour. I'm guessing this is due to IE's unusual handling of some Javascript.

I will look into the problem, but since 98% of our users have Firefox 2 or IE 7, it won't be a priority.

Notification...

 As the description says, "Show status message on every page until new messages are read."

It will display a message on the top of every page you visit on the site until you read all of your private messages.

Recalculated...

Will 1781
January 31 2008

 I just ran a script to recalculate everyone's total points. The totals should now be correct.

The module stores a total value, it doesn't count all of your posts every time that your total is displayed.

 I just installed an update to the Userpoints module. This appears to have fixed the problem.

Please let me know if you see the problem again.
