welcome to 3.0

after over a year of hard work by many others and myself, i'd like to be the first to welcome you to pleonast 3.0!

we really hope you like it - we've gone over every single aspect of pleonast and tried to think through what works and what doesn't, and find ways of making your experience the best it can be. the new look might be a little disconcerting at first glance, but trust us - we think you'll get up to speed in no time. everything should be cleaner, easier, and more intuitive than before. even if at first you are confused or don't like the new design, just give it a couple of weeks - we really think that you will come to love it.

we've done our best to ensure that all of your existing entries, comments, etc have been imported properly, but the new site has been developed completely from scratch, and so there might be some cases where your links or comments might look a little messed up. this is mostly caused by the fact that previous versions of pleonast were very loose with what html they allowed. version 3.0 tries to clean up html and information as it's posted - for your safety - but the sad fact of the matter is that some imported data might not look right. however, you should be able to simply edit them and then it should be fine.

even though this codebase has gone through a thorough beta testing period, there are still bound to be bugs. if you find something, please report it using the 'report bug' feature down at the bottom of the page. please do your best to describe your issue, and we'll try to take care of it as soon as possible. to all of you who helped on betanast - thank you!, and be sure to check your email in the next two weeks or so.

if you are completely blown away by the site and want to thank us somehow, become a gold user :-) not only will you help pay for site costs, but you will also gain access to a ton of new features only available to gold users. if you are already a gold user, consider giving a gift subscription to someone else - gold users get a 10% discount on gift subscriptions!

pleonast exists because of you - thank you very much for being a part. now stop reading this and go start posting!

    Where do I find RSS feeds? Specifically, I'm looking for the RSS feed I had before for friend updates

    Somebody may have asked this above and I missed it.

    On my page, I have a link that used to go to the page that had code stuff for changing fonts and making links. When I click the link, it says it is no longer there. Is there a new page with that info?

    Thanks

    One issue I came across that I didn't notice earlier: for some reason after I view the page of a friend on my friends list, their name does not automatically turn gray.

    I love the look of the new Pleo, but "Who's on by state" doesn't work. Is it a bug or has that feature been eliminated?

    that feature was one we decided to remove for privacy concerns. you can still search for people based on location, however, from the 'find people' page.

    Something I've noticed on my PC using firefox...the people who do not have an avatar, the little gray outlined boxes by their comments run the text of their username into the comment...I wish I was able to take a screenshot, but I cannot. It is like the text of the comment is on top of the username that is beside the comment.

    In the title block (is that what you call the heading for each blog entry?)--can't format text and can't link names. For example, if I wanted to title my entry "Thank You" it displays as I type it rather than linked. Intentional or not?

  • kennon
    tryphena : you can no longer put in html or links in entry titles. this was for several reason, mostly because they are now already links and to have another link inside of them gets really messy.

    is there supposed to be a gray box if they don't have an avatar? that doesn't show up on mine and i wish it did b/c at first glance it's hard to tell when one comment stops and another begins without the boxes next to everyone's comments.

    i love seeing a list of new entries when i log in. much easier than going down my friend list! oh and i can edit comments after i post them. very handy. great job!

    I miss the page with all the new entries for the site . It was interesting to see what was going on in the community.
