Re: Avatar
The problem with the visibility of the text of the filename when updating your Avatar should now be fixed. Please let me know if you still find any problems.
The other issue of allowing multiple Avatars from which you can select is on the todo list.

Any way to find rated posts?
Is there any way for us to find our posts that have been rated positive/negative? If not, could we have one please?

Re: Any way to find rated posts?
I think this was mentioned upthread, but anyway, it's already on the todo list. Unfortunately I will not be able to get to this in the near term.

Battery Backup Worked
A few minutes ago hurricane Irene took out our power. The battery backup kept the computer, router and cable modem powered up for the 30 seconds it took the generator to come on line. Connection to the Internet was not interrupted.
"This concludes this test of your battery backup system. Had this been an actual emergency..."

My sentiments exactly. I just called my tennis buddies to say I won't be playing doubles this morning. I think they'll play anyway, two are in the city and don't have country roads to navigate, and the other is crazy.

I wish you'd reconsider the priority of this item. If the ratings are suppose to have any influence on poster behavior, it is important that posters be able to see at least their own "bad" messages.

Member notification
Recently I posted something I think Coyote would be a better judge of accuracy on and said so in the post. If I could maybe have formatted his name in a certain way that it sent him a notification that his opinion was wanted, or just to make sure they seen the msg for whatever reason.
I think this might be a nice feature.

Re: Member notification
You could send him a PM (private message). Check the "Messaging" link near the top right of the page.

Re: Member notification
I know, thanks.
I often use PM for this kind of thing, I just thought it would be nice to have a simpler way to bring a msg to someones attention, especially when i don't have much to say other than "what do you think".

Member Rating Equation Slightly Modified
The denominator in the member rating equation is now total messages over the time period (set to 90 days), instead of total messages receiving more than 0 votes over the time period. Should result in only a modest change in member rating, though it isn't impossible that a few members could see a dramatic swing.

Re: Any way to find rated posts?
Hi NoNukes,
Some things are simple to do, some not. I will think some more about your request to see if I can come up with a simple approach.
In the meantime I did something that is very simple that might help at least a little. I added member ratings to the member list page. Check it out: Member List
Click on the rating heading to sort by rating.

Re: Member notification
On the todo list is the ability to send an instant message to another member. A popup or some such would appear the next time he clicked on an EvC Forum link or refreshed a page. I don't see this as something that could happen in the near term.
But the PM system works pretty well. Every message has a PM link for the member who posted it, and a PM link is on everyone's thread list page. The "Messaging" link in the menu bar blinks when you have unread messages, which given the complaints when I initially released the Private Messaging feature must be pretty noticeable.
