A lot of tweaks are still left to go, but the forums are now open. Expect more news and updates on them tomorrow. For now, make your way over there and get comfortable. To all of our readers in the U.S., happy Fourth of July.
Back to normal
I am happy to report everything is back to normal. You can now also read Jonathan Snook’s interview without any problems. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Sorry about todays earlier mess.
Features page returns
The feature page is back up, and Devlounge 2 (the WordPress theme) will be available either tomorrow or the following day. I’ve been weeding through various errors today, and I have noticed one thing. It seems some posts and pages have been effected by the database restoration we underwent a few weeks back. It has caused the page design to break, when it shouldn’t have. I’ve spotted many of these and fixed them by reposting the article and / or page (only way to fix it is to delete the old so it’s out of the database). Of course, it is impossible to look through every single post and page, so if you notice any problems, please just let me know. I’m pretty sure I’ve got most of them, but you never know when something will slip through the cracks. That takes care of today’s updates. Tomorrow new feed options will be introduced, and hopefully I’ll be able to stop with these updates, because I’m sure it’s annoyed some most of you. 😉
Bug Hunting
There is just a few things here and there to still be done and fixed. The only major issue I’m aware of right now is with Ronald’s WordPress series, which, as a result of the in-series plugin, seems to be messing with the page layout, leading to ugly looking posts. We’ll be getting in fixed by tomorrow, don’t you worry about it. 🙂
Edit: The problem has now been fixed. I had to go back and repost some old posts that must of been published when were having database problems, because there was some kind of code injected into certain “How to” WordPress posts that, even when cleared, was not being deleted. All the posts were replaced and given their original post publish dates, but comments were lost on these posts. Also, because I had to repost some of these posts, it messed up the order of the In Series plugin. Therefore, the “How to Write a WordPress Plugin” series now has its own page with the correct chronological order for the posts in this series.
Bits and Pieces / Updates
The new design is finally live. There are some pages that still have to be completed early tomorrow, and various other bits and pieces here and there that’d I’d like to update and change. Please let us know if you find anything out of sorts, or things you like or don’t like, so changes can be made as soon as possible. There are currently a few IE6 bugs that I am also aware of that will be squared away tomorrow morning as well. Within the next 24 hours, everything will finally come together.
