SoylentNews is people

By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.

We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.

In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    For the purposes of reporting bugs...

    How much of the issues I see listed on the Bugs page are actual bugs, and how much of them are simply missing slashcode features?

    It seems the version of Slashcode you are using is somewhat older than that found on Slashdot and that seems to cause a lot of functionality to go missing.

    Examples:

    1) The quote button at the bottom of a posting does not appear.

    2) The chevron enclosed quote does not work. (These make quoting parts of prior posts or TFAs hard.

    3) After Posting you are shown your post, but your place in the Story is lost, and you have to naviaget down to where you were to continue reading replays.

    D4) 2 radio button won't stay checked in account settings.

    I'm sure there are more of these, but that's enough for here. Are these due to the vintage of Slashcode you are starting with, or are they features that somehow got broken?

    If SoylentNews is to be the people that comprise it, treating the poster to all the goodies seems
    pretty critical. I think all of us don't mind tweaking and experimenting with the moderation system. But something more than basic functionality still needs to be in the posting system.
