Welcome to the new and improved (I hope) macosxhints.com! We're now running on Geeklog version 1.3.7, and there are a few nice new features:
- Story submission mode includes a
tag pair that will leave all characters (including ) alone. Please use this when submitting code! - A greatly improved links page with paging and organization by category.
- A nicely improved search engine, with much more readable results ... and there will be more improvements in the near future.
- Blocks on one side only. For now, they're on the right, though that may change in the near future based on some expected features in a minor Geeklog upgrade.
- There's a new "Site Activity" feature in the What's New box that will show you everything that was posted to the site on any given day. You can easily choose any of the last seven days, or search on any day in the site's history.
- Topics are now in a pop-up box on the right, just below the What's New boxes. There are two new topics (Browsers and OS X Server) to pick from, and I'll be migrating some historical hints into those categories in the near future.
- Finally, registered users (the free registration, not the subscription) will be able to pick from one of three themes, as shown here:
There are actually two versions of the Color theme (one with rollovers, one without), so technically there are four themes to pick from. Registered users can also post commets, set comment display preferences, and other things...
I'm sure I've missed some things, and I'm sure many of you will have comments. So if you notice a problem, or something that doesn't make sense, something you like, or something you don't, please drop a line to feedback@macosxhints.com and let me know what's on your mind. Please include a URL to the particular page you're commenting on to make it easier for me to see what you're seeing.
Sorry it took so long this weekend, but as with most web projects, actual time estimates always seem to be off by a factor of two or three...
