I am overwhelmingly grateful for how receptive you (the community) have been of this change. It is a huge thing to get used to and I love how everyone is taking it in their stride and getting on with it. I appreciate the positive feedback that you’ve been giving, and the constructive way in which you’re communicating the less positive stuff.
While I’m at it, I need to thank my awesome staff team here on the forums, my colleagues at SitePoint HQ who worked with me to get this launched, the guys at Discourse that helped us, and all the others at HQ that have had to wait on their projects while I monopolized the all the dev resource.
This is sounding a lot like an acceptance speech at the Grammys, so I should stop.
A big thanks to Hawk that had to put up with one or maybe two complains from people like me who where not too sure if Discourse could make it ready soon enough for us (they did and they did an amazing job but Hawk and other members of the staff were right behind them. No pressure there :p)
I’m b*tching, if that’s what you mean. But Scott has me beaten on that : P
cpradio’s trying to help, but I’m still not able to do some things easily. Also a personal stylesheet helps a lot of the things I don’t like that SitePoint can’t (easily) change (though I still like the suggestion of moving the reply-to’s to near the poster name, that ought to be in the main stylesheet).
Even so, every big change means a lot of broken or half-working things, and the staff always has to deal with that. Sorta like our public transport people. Train’s late? Train people get rotten stuff thrown at them : P
