The site has been transfered to the new server. I am still leaving the old one up for a bit just in case. Unfortunately, elmwoodstrip.com.org has not fully transfered everywhere. I believe in some places it has. In the mean time you can use mobl.us which you will be automatically redirected to when you visit elmwoodstrip.org/com. All three are the same web site. At least for now.
So play around with it and send me a site email if there are any problems.

Some mini fixesCategory: estrip
I think I finally squashed the bug where you would change pages and you mute preference would reset. The same bug squash should have also fixed the problme where the message box pops up on every screen, even after you close it. Now it should stay closed until you click on your post-it control panel again. If you roll over the post-it control panel it should display the number of messages you have.

Theme ChoiceCategory: feedback
I was wondering what you guys think about this. I record what theme everyone selects when logged in. Should I make it so that the theme you have selected is the one that shows when your journal is being viewed by others. On one hand I think it is a good idea, on the other, it might make the site look too dijointed if every journal was in a different theme. Right now, when you select a new theme and you are logged in, it displays your theme selection in the stats bar after hangman score. Maybe that is enough, people could always choose after reading that.
[size=l]P.S. Does anyone want to help with the help files or the newbie guide or am I all alone on this.[/size]

It's really not user friendly to switch themes at random. If someone goes to the trouble of setting one, it's usually for a reason. I know there are a couple of themes I have trouble with. The link colors are sometimes to hard to distinguish against the background, and my eye sight is a bit bad, so the less I have to squint, the better.
Please please let me just stick to a theme that I like. Or at least give a check mark next to the theme selection option to make it non-over-rideable.
Also, something like 1 in 10 males and 1 in 50 females is at least partially colorblind. A couple of the themes on the site are not so good for the color blind.
I like the themes (most of them :) - they're a really nice feature and the variey is awesome) but the choice of themes is there for the benefit of the site viewer, not the author of an entry. Customizability should help, not hinder.
Sorry for my tirade. No ill will meant.

I think that idea is a preaty cool one myself. That way when people read journals they see what theme the person writing likes. Plus that way the background color would fit in with the theme they where typing in, instead of the viewers theme. If at some point the themes change type fonts and colors that would also insure that the type and background color warn't them same. However there is one slight downside. That would be that some people might not like the themes people wrote in and would be forced to look at it or not read the journal. Overall though I think it is a cool idea maybe it could be in the form of (not sure if or how you would program it) an on off switch on the site. I can't think of a good term but maybe Writers/readers theme.

yes Paul, what would you like me to tackle? I was thinking about how to break it down, but I don't have anything solid. I was thinking about the very first steps a new user may want to have access to..
Anyhow, anything you need..

I could probably help with a newbie guide. What do you want it to cover?

If anyone's color blind, they not want their theme switched around on them.

[size=m]Wanna Help Out Help[/size]
If more people are interested in working on the help files with (e:uncutsaniflush), we can probably get through them all in about a week or so if there were more people. If you are interested just tell me and I can make you a help admin. That allows you to edit help files directly from the help interface.
[size=m]Fixed Journal Dots[/size]
I fixed the journal dots and overview mode, both had been down for a while - I just didn't realize it was down. It was basically two lines that had to change and was a result of the date format switch I implemented about a month ago. I didn't realize till (e:uncutsaniflush) wrote about it on the news journal comments the other day.
In response to (e:uncutsaniflush)'s comment I would like to point out that you guys are in fact beta testers.
Part of this being a community is you guys aiding in and helping guide it's development by using it. I have consistently repsonded to people's feedback. The reason things change so much is because I am constantly adapting it to user feedback and because as the community evolves and grows the needs change.
I think in general the site has been extremely stable for about 3 years using window with IE or firefox or mac with firefox which is 99% of the computer based viewers setup according to statics. Even on linux it hasn't been that bad. In fact I think that it is actually more stable than most operating systems.

The message box still pops up on IE and so do those damn snow flakes- every time!
