Fixed - Album link on Photo Detail pages returning Oops page.
Fixed - Not receiving 'share video collection' emails.
Fixed - Oops page loading compliments page when compliment is pending
Fixed - Email album includes incorrect URL
Fixed - Video collection activity showing up in updates with invalid information.
Fixed - Photo album activity not showing in Site Activity.
Fixed - Threads not displaying on some pages.

As of 4/15, all known issues are resolved.

Hey Jason. I think I might have discovered another, though it might just be my computer.
When you go to a person's profile, and click, "View All" for the threads, it will show "There are no threads for ________'s profile."
I know there are, because it said, "Showing 4 out of 14" next to the view all button.
This also happens on any given page.

Thanks for the Update, though!

Hi Jason
I noticed there was no mention of a edit/delete feature in the new release of features. What's up with that?

Your featured discussion box makes a reply to a thread make it look like the replyer created the original post-bad, bad, bad. On some sites-moderators are snarky & would be very upset. Some sites just don't have featured threads-I felt compelled to send a message to all members at "The Mentalist" site because your work made it look as though I created a hot thread when I replied to somebody-I also created a thread that explained last night's foul up. It also removes history of actions- I MUST ADD-YOUR UPDATE SEEMS TO HAVE CREATED DIFFERENT PROBLEMS ON DIFFERENT SITES-I READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE FIRST POST & SOME PROBLEMS LISTED AREN'T ON MINE-BUT WE DO HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS. .

what about the number of pages of a thread not showing up on the discussion forum?
is that a "bug" or a new feature?

How well I know that. This is feed back & I'm giving it. I was given credit for starting a popular thread, on "The Mentalist" when I made a reply. That can really set off some people. I worked hard to be a moderator on that fun site-I don't want the special relationship that the group has to be ruined. The members are creators and mods on other sites-if they have problems-they need to come to WetPaint Central & read the posts on these threads. If they have a unique problem, they can get back to you-but there isn't any sense in a sleepy or rushed member to think that another member is trying to take over the site or something-okay. Also somebody needs to say that different sites seem to be reacting differently for some reason-How else would you know that, unless someone says it. WetPaint has thousands of sites. I enjoy Wetpaint-but I'm allowed to give feed back on problems Do you find this valuable?

Bijou, I'm pretty sure this is a new feature, however a lot of members don't like it. Do you find this valuable?

"Bijou, I'm pretty sure this is a new feature, however a lot of members don't like it."
I know, a lot of people are complaining about it.

and it's annoying to have to go to the first page everytime you click on a thread
( I mean on the luke and noah fans wiki we have over 400 pages and one with over 800 pages, it's annoying that you cant just skip to the end so to speak)

I can kinda see what she means... "Have you seen ___________? This thread was posted by ______ ......"
But with all the other problems, this one isn't big at all.

Thanks.
Oh yeah, I just realized, that while everyone else is complaining about the number of pages on the Discussion Forum not being there, I think it makes it look much more polished and clean.

I can't disagree with that, it does look more clean.

But I wish they'd put the pages back, and remove that abnoxious featured thread box at the top of the page, or at least make it change sizes depending on how many featured threads there are.

"Your featured discussion box makes a reply to a thread make it look like the replyer created the original post-bad, bad, bad. "
This reminded me to ask whether Wetpaint is trying to redefine "thread." I've always thought of a discussion thread as being a group of messages (posts) with the same subject line, but Wetpaint calls each individual post a "thread." I find this confusing and disconcerting. Could you explain that reasoning, please? (After the more urgent update issues are taken care of, of course.)

According to Wikipedia, "A threaded discussion is an electronic discussion in which the software aids the user by visually grouping messages. Messages are usually grouped visually in a hierarchy by topic. A set of messages grouped in this way is called a topic thread or simply "thread". A discussion forum, e-mail client or news client is said to have "threaded topics" if it groups messages on the same topic together for easy reading in this manner. Moreover, threaded discussions typically allow users to reply to particular posting within a topic's thread. As a result, there can be a hierarchy of discussions within the thread topic. Various types of software may allow this hierarchy to be displayed in what's called Threaded Mode. (The alternative being Linear Mode, which typically shows all of the posts in date order, regardless of who may have specifically replied to whom.)"

Lol, maybe wetpaint is trying to tie a bunch of threads together into a rope!

Seriously, I have no clue, but as far as I've seen, wetpaint has always said, 'Post Reply', so, I don't know.

Those features were introduced in previous releases.

I honestly didn't like the new updates with the featured threads in a small box, and then with all the others as well, and, how you can no longer skip to say page 5 of a thread from the discussion forum. Do you find this valuable?
