I do have a question TP. Are you going to enforce some time limit on how long it takes between posts? The Washington Post does that and I find it very frustrating. I am a quick thinker and a quick typer. I hate to sit there and wait the requisite number of minutes (I'm still not sure what it is) to have a post go through.

Perhaps you can hire one of the competent programmers who are out of a job because it went to India to solve the myriad of problems you are having with this update. Posting here is beyond frustrating. Also, the refresh solution didn't work for me. My post was gone when I got back and didn't post at all. TP – where did you hire your programmers?

Don't forget that Sorting by Top Rated does not work, and the little "Most..." Dashboard in the uper right doesn't work correctly. Most Commented shows nothing, for any time frame, and Most Linked shows the same story for all three windows. They're little things, I know, but why have the feature if it won't work right. You know? Good idea, too. You could even have a list of Most Recommended Comments, too. You’re doing great, TP. Keep up the good work.

actually, i’ve been outside and elsewhere, so didn’t know it was down…

i spent my morning time reading yesterday’s “welcome to the NEW thinkprogress” comments… realized that most of my comments and opinions were covered there… but i used the FAST thread to do my b!tchin’… sorry…

now that the “formatting buttons” are in place (!!!), the only thing that really bothers me is the top banner… it really does nothing for anything… i can understand the lack of color – so as not to clash/compete with the color coded topics, i presume…

but i think a single image would be best… just the flag, fading into nothing… not sure what that other image is, a fast moving train i’m guessing, but it’s just irrelavent and even annoying, ’cause, what is it, and WHY???

about the color, or lack of – maybe just stick with the shades of gray…
that sepia just doesn’t look good…

now i’ll read what others have to say…

oh – the name and time at top of each thread is way too small…
