The only thing I like in this release, although I don't hate the others, is the one click access to the Inbox and Profile. Do you find this valuable?

Pretty good small update. Not much added, but they are rather useful. The direct links make things much easier. The search is back, which can be useful to find sites under a topic that sparks your interest. The new module and report about tags and such don't really matter to me, but they could be useful to other users of Wetpaint. Do you find this valuable?

I really like everything in this release. Even though I probably will not be using the new module.

My favorite thing is the message bar. Just one click and your there.

I dislike this update. I do admit the featured content module can be useful, so I have no complaints with it. The tags is an alright update, however, I really think this was not necessary to put into the release. I feel there is much more things needed than this. The keyword search on the homepage is alright, but yet again, I think that there should have been something else that was updated.

I dislike the new navigation bar. Sure, it is one less click, but I feel that it was poorly designed. I like the idea of the one click Inbox, but I feel that that new navigation bar was poorly designed. I do not want to sound like the bad guy, but I feel the navigation bar should be reverted back to the old one, yet you can add Inbox as one of the parts of the old navigation bar. Wetpaint had the right idea, but I believe the design was poorly chosen. Please consider reverting the navigation bar back to the old design and adding another tab for the Inbox link.

This was defiantly not a favorite wetpaint update, at least for me, but, it was alright. I really hope my feedback can be used, because I think I am not alone. Please consider my advice and suggestions. I ask wetpaint to consider more practical updates, such as anchor links and HTML editing. I really enjoy using Wetpaint, but I would like some of the features the community wants to be implanted into the system.

Well, I agree with the people above the 2 above me. I think it's awsome! Cause it would say:
"My Profile (1 new)"
And it could be a friend, a message, a compliment... and also my computer can be a bit slow so it takes a moment to go to "My profile" then the thing would open up and it would say "1 new message" and insead it says:
"Inbox (1 new)"
so when I noticed the updates today it made me very happy! :D

I also, like the updates. Although I was confused with the counter. I had a count of 3 and only one message and the count would not go to zero. Then I was informed it handled friend request and compliments too. I love it. And the ability to feature pages is totally fantastic. This gives the ability to feature pages that have recently been earmarked (creating a link on the homepage was the normal way) for showcasing to members a page of interest. Great feature update WP.

I do not like the update on the Navgation Bar with the" My Profile" small text.

This opinion by walrus is 100% correct.

Personally, I like it.

I love the new content module, I think it is so useful! I am going to use it on all my wikis!

I love the featuring pages idea, because if you have 100+ pages, like on my wiki and many others, you can easily show people those great pages you have tucked away.

Even though this was a small release, I still liked it.

Really? This is odd. How is it not letting you send a message? Is the option just not there? Do you have any screenshots? What browser and OS do you have? Do you find this valuable?

Shrink the tables on your profile if possible. If you are like me and you had many tables inside other tables, I would just start over and delete everything. If you view my profile, everything should be in view with nothing cut off. Well this at least solves the problem that you can not see your friends list. As for the messages and compliments, no idea sorry.

Wetpaint Central and some other sites are now using the 1024 fixed width page format. Your graphics and tables that are there used to expand the right edge of your screen. One had to scroll to the right to see all your images and your friends list. The ability to expand the right border of the page has been eliminated and is now fixed. So you may want to resize your images and tables to fit the screen. Do you find this valuable?

I like this update. The one-click access to my inbox is just another little update that saves time, and I think that's great. I haven't experimented with the Featured Content module, but the idea is good. I'm also happy that the broken links found all around Wetpaint have been fixed in this release.
