Harper's Globe web site update

Mark D asked:
Can you tell us what new features we are going to be getting or will we have to be chewing our finger nails waiting for them

Well most of it is behind the scenes. We've fixed several bugs (and hopefully not created any new ones) and tweaked performance in a couple of areas. From what I can tell there are no new "features" though. Sorry :p

There is some slowness with one of our updates. By slowness I mean actual slowness. It takes a long time to do. We don't think it should take as long as it's taking. That's what we're working on now. When that is done, and we do one more practice run, we'll be updating the site. Most of the changes won't be all that visible to you except in the form of improved stability and readiness for some new features coming up ahead beyond this update, but off the top of my head you should be able to see:

1) *crosses fingers* no more craziness with notifications (extras being delivered, random amounts on your dashboard)

2) ajax deleting of notifications. hopefully this will make it easier for you to manage the notifications on your bar.

3) pm clarification. looks a little more like email now. we know it's weird on the sent side, but we're looking into it.

4) improved stability across the site, so hopefully we won't brb so often and there will be less slowness when everyone comes at the same time.
