Question

REE LEASE, it's February 28th 2012, the day before the LEAP YEAR LEAPS!

Answer 1

Things got JNasty on the JSkinny folks, but we got it fixed up for you.

As a bonus, we added some goodness for ya:

- The list of users you've fanned (next to notifications) now shows you who is online and who is offline.
- Autocomplete for mentions also shows users who are online.
- Chat and the corresponding unseen question counts no longer look like the worst thing in the world! Sorry for the eye-bleeding nastiness you had to deal with for a week and a half or so there, but we fixed it up and it looks sleek and beautiful like the rest of the site again.
- New popup tip to let you know that you can change your notifications for when someone has mentioned you by going to your profile settings.
- Mention notifications for a long question or reply are shortened in your notifications.
- Improved performance for search engine crawling.
- Fully hide user-created groups from the join groups dialog. You can still see these in your drop down if you're in them, and you can still send direct links for them to other people.

Looks like we've traded off the gradual slowdowns we'd been seeing for sudden failures on the site when things get nasty, so we'll be looking at that Real Soon Now™.

As per usual, let us know if things got busted!

@badreferences , lol. There's a reason behind that. ;)

Answer 16

Saifoo, keep in mind that the online people button isn't online people, it's people you're a fan of.

Answer 17

@saifoo.khan It bothers my OCD that your avatar is blank.

Answer 18

Its purpose is to have a central place to manage the people you've fanned.

Answer 19

saifoo took inspiration from our QA guy @msayer3 . He sets his avatar to blank just to drive us cray-cray :p

Answer 20

It should be against the Code of Conduct on this site to prey on users' OCD. Surely that's intentionally aggravating my disorder?

Answer 21

Lol @badreferences .

@shadowfiend Ah, okay. i didn't read that "People you are a fan of:".

Answer 22

@badreferences ,
It's pretty unique to have a blank avatar. It shocks people. ;)

Answer 23

@saifoo.khan It makes us want to rip our hair out. BTW, if you ever come across clumps of hair on your way to work, that was your doing. Are you happy?
