Tagline is fixed, but article still uses my copy of the image.
Will be there a possibility for authors to edit their own articles?

I have been thinking on how to do the edit own articles bit in case it got abused somehow but it's probably quite safe I guess.

Quoting: liamdaweI have been thinking on how to do the edit own articles bit in case it got abused somehow but it's probably quite safe I guess.

I think that edits should require editors approval(after all, article submission require the same),
there should be a limited pool of pending edit requests available to each writer(so one account can't flood the system with the bogus edit request), 
automatic edit rejection after set time 
and writer should be able to cancel his/her edit requests without any penalty.

After reaching some limit of rejected edits, edit privilege should be restricted for some time. I don't believe that the last thing is needed, because in case of abuse account could be restricted manually. 
What do you think?

Updates:
Twitter embedding in articles no longer has massive gaps after them.
RSS feed for articles now includes the image.

As for edits, yes that's a good way to do it, simply require approval, will add it to my TODO :)

I just realized the Admin CP home has a private personal notes feature. I tried creating a note but either it was never stored or it has gone straight to the limbo, but the fact is that I cannot see any note there.

Is that feature supposed to be functional?

A complete boo-boo on my part, I didn't give you a sql row in the admin notes section :(

I will make a user promotion system to prevent this in future.

Sorry!

PS. Fixed now of course.

Yep, I tried adding a new one and it works. Thanks!

New feature for admins on the new website:
When accepting a news submission you can now opt to click a checkbox and have it posted under your username, I find it quite annoying being given a really poor article, rewriting it, finding new media etc and then approving it under someone else.

It's either that or note the info down, deny the article, then go to write a new one.

At least now you can just re-do it from the same screen and select to use your username :)

Can I suggest that anybody making use of that feature add a "thanks to X for bringing this up" or similar? It's always positive to acknowledge tips/submissions (and could end up encouraging those people submitting stuff that isn't quite up to scratch to get more engaged in the community and up their skills to a point where they can more directly contribute).

Hoping to get time to update those article images today >_<

It will thank the person automatically, no need to worry.

Feel free to give it a try and let me know if there are any bugs. When the new site goes live if people haven't tested then they have no right to complain :P

Ah, awesome awesome :)

Does that mean you're going to hold off on going live until everybody who's interested has time to test? :D

It will go live when I feel it is ready and when I've finished the urgent todo list items for it.

If people don't test then it's their problem frankly, the test site has been up nearly 2 months now with not much feedback on bugs and issues which I'm taking is a good sign.

Don't take a lack of comment from me as any kind of indication that things are bug free. I'm certainly keen to poke around, for better or worse I've got too much other stuff on the go at the moment to really dig in (still haven't even had time to adding images to my posts).

The problem is I can't and won't wait forever, things need to get done.

Munt has already tested a few bits and others have been too.

ZjQ3YjE5NTLet's look at prxa
Gaming Wiki leads to http://www.prxa.info/crowdfunding/ with doesn't exist

http://www.prxa.info/sales.php :
I can't visually distinguish between each row, they aren't separated enough. I have a hard time distinguishing where one ends and another starts. I have made a little mock-up of my preferred look:

Home page also surfers from this a little bit mock-up:
 
Forums:


For now, colours might be a little of, but I didn't have time to play with them.

What do You think about threaded view in comments?

404 page doesn't contain any penguins.

I have taken editor for a little swirl:
http://www.prxa.info/forum/topic/326

Ability to move posts to other threads would also help.

Please keep all redesign stuff to the redesign post to keep things clean from after this post.

I don't like threaded view so plain view is staying I'm afraid.

Crowdfunding wiki link of course won't work as it's on gol not prxa ;)

As for colours there may be something I can do but not sure.

I'd written a fairly nice reply about how I support your needing to move forward and that it's important to still be welcoming of post-launch feedback, but I lost it a few days ago and only just found this tab >_<

I will always welcome feedback, but I won't be doing major changes once it's up.

I suggest you test sooner rather than later if you want to be in on it. I mean way before the end of June too.
