Yeah, I noticed that the archives were back. Very cool, I thought they were all gone after the last "upgrade."
I like the new software.

Al, I still don't understand the relationship between the different rec lists, but I want to thank you for all the hard work you are putting into getting this new site up and running. I'm sure it has been an absolutely CRAZY time for you, and I just want you know your efforts are appreciated. I'm impressed that you are trying so hard to incorporate our thoughts and responding so quickly to our concerns...makes us feel important!

Al, I'm unable to comment to my own blog posts any longer. That came up yesterday - late afternoon. I can comment everywhere else, I think. So now I'm wondering if I did something to make that happen. And one thought I have is that I deleted cookies yesterday... and one of them had a string of numbers.
Here's my problem. When I click on my blog, I no longer have the identifying info above that recognizes me. I can edit my profile. I can find my dashboard. I can click to do a blog.
But when I click on my own blogs now and try to comment, what opens up below is a series of 3 boxes for "name" "email" and "url"- but as I say there is nothing above that recognizes me and I cannot comment - no way to sign in or anything on that page.
This is very puzzling.
Thanks for your help. I don't currently need this function. Because I don't have a post up today. Nor do I currently intend to post today. So it's not an emergency. But it's definitely a problem!

I just checked. And I now realize that while the main site recognizes me, and provides me with ways to click on my blog, my profile, etc - even clicking on my profile the system does not seem to recognize me as "me." What I mean by that is there are no functionality buttons when I do that for "blog now" or "edit profile" etc.

As a matter of fact, when I click on my own name, it says "beta" for the TPM dashboard....

It does that now too. So maybe we're still "beta."

When I click 'Your Blog' even though I see the same URL on the lower left as when I click my name in the followed list, I get that error saying that I haven't begun blogging yet.

I'm up and running again, so far as I can tell. Though when I post at EC, I get a message saying no nodes. Even though it actually posts. Hope this works here!

Thank you for this. I would have bet it was never going to happen; better late than never.
I'll tell user Rumpole, who, I happened to notice, was just complaining within a post today.

On my dashboard the only tab that is working is the "Recommend" tab. Nothing shows up on either "post" or "comment." Makes it difficult to follow threads I've commented on. Help?
