Contrary to popular belief, Jon didn't hire me solely on the basis of my spellchecking fixing abilities. (the shock!) I have a confession to make, loyal readers: instead of working on spellcheck for these past few months, I've been busy pushing the new Localism to completion. (the intrigue!) There – I've said it. I feel better now!
Like any human endeavor, Localism isn't perfect. That bugs a perfectionist like me. The new Localism still has a few (sizable) rough patches:
- You can't leave comments on posts
- Photos uploaded to the old Localism during our internal transitional period may not appear
- Layout issues. This mostly (and ironically) affects those of you who put the most time into making your profile great. We're still working on shoehorning things into our new design. It's like trying on those pants that are one size too small but look really great, so you manage to make it work.
- Top neighbors. We (Matt and I. Buy Matt a beer!) finally fixed it! You now (rightly) get credit for your older Localism posts!
- Some layout issues. Internet Explorer throws a fit when it encounters extra-wide elements. If your profile on Localism looks weird, let me know!
- Cities that belong to multiple counties now display correctly. Here's looking at you, Denver.
- Photo uploads are working again!
- No more slow loading pages. Or at least not as slow… We've made major strides on this issue today, and those agonizing 5 minute waits should be a thing of the past!
- You're now able to create new neighborhoods when sponsoring communities
What can you do to help? Use and abuse the new Localism! Let me know what blows up. In direct contradiction to your mother's (loving) edicts, if you break it, I have to fix it.
Don't be afraid to criticize. I'm also very open to gushing compliments.
Update: Jon's got a great (and very official) Q&A up at http://activerain.com/blogsview/586195/Localism-Q-A-Official.
