We've modified the code that handles your relationships (friends, foes, friends of friends, etc.); please let me know in a reply to this article if you see any weirdness going on. Thanks!

Work harder & they'll work right. Get off the web & back to work you slob, a lot of people would strangle somebody to be working these days!:)

mshiltonj, don't listen to babbage, he doesn't know what he's talking about (no one at work likes him.

Actually, I noticed this a few days ago, i.e. likely before these new changes. I think it's just that Slashcode's FAQ is not available through use.perl.org. That's naughty!;-)
That's fine, but I wish you would disable the code that produces the "Have you Meta Moderated Today?" as there's never any Moderations available, at least to me, for Meta Moderation.
I guess I could set myself unavailable for (Meta)Moderation, but I'd like to moderate again, if it ever gets turned on again.

Actually I wish moderation would come back.
I was wondering if it I just wasn't managing
to hit the sweet spot or what.
But if it is to stay away it seems pointless to have the "Karma Bonus" (revently renamed?)
checkbox when posting.Re:Related subject...

They seem to be tinkering with the karma / friends systems, maybe turning off moderation is a way to see how people interact with the system in the absence of other scoring going on. At a guess. If you haven't poked around recently, take a look at the comments section of your user settings -- there's a lot of settings in there that I hadn't noticed before recently...
For every user page I have checked so far, there is a huge blank space between the top header bar & the actual page content -- as in, probably a dozen or twenty screens or more of blank space. I didn't notice anything obviously broken in the HTML source, but something ain't right. I'm assuming that you know about this glitch already, but just in case....

It looks like the blank space at the top comes from the little user bio that's been inserted to the right. It's most annoying on folks that have written lots about themselves on their bio page.Re:Broken page layouts
babbage on 2003-01-24T18:51:28
Okay, but my bio page is empty, and yet I'm seeing it on my user's pages (& others' too).Looking closer, I agree -- the breakdown is happening somewhere between the new user info box at the semi-top right of the page (below the title/search banner) and above the bar for $user's comments or (depending on the page) the control bar for setting comment display preferences. If there's a Related Links box (as on articles), it appears where it's supposed to.
I've verified now that the pages are broken on IE6/W2k and Crazy Browser / Win98 [which share the same IE rendering libraries], but not broken on IE5.2.1/OSX, Safari/OSX or Phoenix0.5/W2k.
