Hey Al - Just a few quirks I've noticed. I still have to keep logging in to comment even though I am already logged in at the top. Also I tested TPM from my cell phone & it is not working. .. it just keeps prompting you to sign in to mytpm over and over. You can't access the main page.
But the new tools are excellent! Congrats on making it through yesterday :)

Al, the function at the Cafe for Rec'd Posts is not working! So the blog you mention here has disappeared from that last, even though it should be "up" near the top of that list. (it only went up late last night)
The Rec list at the Cafe seems to show "new posts" and is like a duplicate of Reader Blogs.
Not that it matters to me, where it ends up, but I think it would be helpful for people to be able to find it and add to it.

Interesting. I went in to the editor and added EC to the post. Now it's at the top of the EC list - however another post of mine - that in some ways is more personally important to me - and has more recs (also from last night) - has disappeared from the top of the EC rec list!
Now, maybe the system no longer allows 2 posts on the same list. But indeed the "helpful hints" post was posted to the Cafe and the other one to EC.
I really don't want that other one to get lost. It's important to counter religious bigotry.
Not sure what to do here. The Cafe Rec list is definitely broken!
But that other post is near and dear to my heart.

Ok. I took the EC off of the "help" post... and sure enough, now it's gone. But so is my other post with all the recs on it!! That should be up there.
I hope you can help somehow. With something.

Nothing is up now. Though neither is older than 13 hours. And one has 18 recs!

I see that there is funkiness with the rec lists in the sidebars. I'm investigating.. Thanks.

Ok. I await your assistance. What you'll see is that soon your post here will disappear altogether!

Now it's very clear all Recs are broken! The top one at EC has 6 recs only! And others have fallen off which should not have fallen off.... what a mess!
God help you! Whether you believe or not!

Do you realize your popularity is directly inverse to the software working?
That sets up a contradiction between your popularity and our loving the system!

I mean popularity in terms of being followed actually.
