Get Familiar
Many of you have done this already, but the first thing to do's just to play around the site, and see what ...

Edit at will!
Another day draws to a close in oddly-weathered portland (I watched it rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail, and be sunny within 45 minutes), and it's been really cool to see people using, trying things, and making the site velveteen-rabbit Real.

One thing that's been a point of ...

Some changes from today
So, we got some major fixes in today. A couple of these impacted the site code in significant ways, so please us know if you run into any problems, especially editing guides or fixes.

The changes, from what I remember and in no particular order:

Guides and fixes can now ...

Welcome to SixLinks!

Jeff and I have spent the last six months of our lives making this site, and now it passes to you to use, break, and help us improve!

One day left, and the combing of silliness
Lots of bugfixes (20+, I think) today, little enhancements, and the pulling of some old cruft data.

I have to be honest, removing Tomo's fake "put shading on your house" guide made me a bit sad. I've been working with that guide for the last few months, and ...

More new features!
So, now you can favorite a particular discussion, and have it show up in your updates when something happens. Plus, the feed items for comments and discussions were reworked to be more useful. So that's cool.

Also, the page formerly known as "bugs" (big picture fixes) now exists and ...

It's really starting to feel real.
There's still lots of tuning across the site, but for the first time, I really feel like the core of its features are there.

Tonight's updates brought groups and teams up to their full functionality (minus discussions and wikis). It fixed a ton of minor bugs and styling ...

Actually, make that major code refactor HIT.
It's live now.

Groups and teams models aren't in, but I wanted to get the refactored profiles up and tested before pushing up the other stuff.

It all works locally, and should work online. Let me know if you see any errors!

Warning. Major code refactor hitting tonight.
So, in writing teams and groups, it became clear to me that profiles (and thus, avatars, badges, etc) needed to be split into its own app.

This means scary things for the upgrade process tonight.

I'll make multiple backups of everything, and all of the data should transfer over ...

As you may have noticed, you can now edit your profile pic.
That, along with news articles hitting the updates feed properly, and filtering for guides and fixes.

Further filtering got pushed back to Wasabi, because if it's going to be any more complex than it currently is, I want to do it right, and not write disposa-code.

Also, for future ...
