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!

    more out of curiosity than anything, what is the rationale for not having a box for phone numbers in the profile? I mean ICQ gets some love but AT&T doesn't? ;)

    S'looking good.

    Old people + Change = Learning Curve. But I will prevail, and I'm sure this will be great!

    I like what I see.

    And yes, I was serious. But, I'm glad I made you laugh. Everyone needs to lighten up and laugh a little. Have a great day! Take a break, you deserve it, and you team as well.

    I understand cleaning up of the html - but is there no longer a way to change font size?

    Looks good!

    yes, you can change font size, but you should use proper html to do so. try using spans with style and font-size. i'm working on making the font size tags work again, but make sure you have the proper quotation marks or else it will get sanitized.

    love the new look. A huge thank you! One thing though--isn't there a faster way to get to older entries than one at a time? P2 had that handy little 5, 25 option. I do miss that.
