The Pub Discussion Board

Hi-ho, Eric the Storm here... 

Just wanted to point out that, in an effort to make the system easier to use, I have revamped the Recommendation System on the site.  Before, when you would click the button to save your opinion of a story or image, it would open a new page, which you would then have to close to continue reading / viewing.

With the reworked system, it does not do this.  It sends information to the database in the background, and merely lets you know that it has done it.  What will happen is that the recommendation form will be temporarily replaced with a message letting you know the change was saved.  (Or alternatively, if you goofed, it will tell you that, too.)

This system now requires Javascript to operate.  If you do not have JS enabled in your browser, you will not be able to make recommendations at all (but the form will still appear).  Sorry, but this change required a one-or-the-other approach.  I will, at some point in the future, add a "No JS" option to your user settings, so that utilities that require JS won't appear at all for those who don't use Javascript.

Assuming no major hiccups, and no uprising from the peoples, I will probably be applying this same style of redesign to the bookmark / favorites systems, as well.

If you do have difficulties with the system, please let me know.  I have tested it, but that's just one person.

Thanks for your time.
