    But my Safari has quit on me 3 times in signing on and getting here.

    Ouch, any further info you can provide on what part of the process caused your browser to crash? We use Safari on the site daily and have not encountered any crashing during signup. Email me directly through my site link if you have any info. Thanks.

    With regards to the "when I log in to reply to a post, I get bounced back to the front page problem". If anyone comes up with a solution to that I would be interested to know about it.

    This behaviour has now been changed/fixed. If you log in to PA System midway through a forum topic you will be returned to the page you were on. For the technically-minded, this is accomplished simply by passing the location of the current page through the login process.

  • Bledisloe Haka,

    The laptop we used was playing the music for the place and so over the top of it came the sound of the All Blacks. Awesome.

    Russell has a great story of a correspondent of his playing the audio edition of Hard News over the PA system to a crowd of several tens of thousands at a bull fight in Spain. Nice.

  • Southerly: They don't make 'em like they…,

    Matthew, I think Ark 2000 was maybe called Ark 7?

    Hey, looks like we were both wrong. From TV.com:

    This is their achievement: Ark II, a mobile storehouse of scientific knowledge, manned by a highly-trained crew of young people.

    When I was five, that show was genius.

    I'll second Under the Mountain. I have vague recollections of a show (possibly set in a huge big desert) called Ark 2000. Anyone recall this? Google doesn't seem to know what the devil I'm on about, and this guy couldn't find much either. Also that drawing/craft show with the really catchy music as they panned across the resulting artwork from each episode. And Morph.

    I know its only beta but, I think you need an edit function for the users post though

    red01, this is in the works. Thanks for all the positive comments.

    and when do we get to change those anonymous little grey people above our user name into actual avatars?

    This will happen as soon as Gravatar.com deploys its new server. It was under an enormous load during our testing phase so we disabled them temporarily, apparently the new server is "imminent".

    Other usability tweaks noted and should be rolled out in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!

  • Eating Media Lunch,

    Oo, it might just be me, but IE7 is not liking that oversized link in the title post.

    This is now fixed. We'll probably reveal how to embed text links sometime soon in that little list of instructions below.
