This morning you should notice some new features on the site.
Up top there is a link to European Tribune which has links to all the latest headlines over there. At ET they have the same feature linking back to here.
You’ll also see that all your preferences have been consolidated under you user page and your sidebox has shrunk.
Soon we will be udgrading the ‘recent comments’ button so it will load faster.
Let us know what you think of the changes.
P.S. Yes, I know that the EuroTrib button is currently sending you back here. We’ll fix it in a couple of hours.
BooMan, have you been tinkering with the site? In the last 48 hours I’ve had mucho difficulty logging on here & EuroTrib.
I was wondering about that. I lost my TU at Kos and thought that had happened here. Again I don’t understand all that but know it has something about comments being rated high you keep TU or if one’s comments don’t get rated one loses TU?
Yeah, TU status is based on the mysterious quantity of ‘mojo,’ computed from your prior ratings weighted for recency.
I became TU on dKos a week after starting posting in November and has remained so since, despite weeks of absence and never posting in C&J. So I was surprised when the Hidden Comments box was gone a couple of days ago, though I haven’t been active there lately. If you’ve lost it too, maybe Kos has raised the treshold or cleansed the archive of old commentary.
Needless to say, very few things in the universe matter less than reading troll posts on dKos.

i don’t have to read the european page at boo to find out whats really happening in the united states of A like i do in my real (real?????) nuis(ance)paper do i?
(/snarkoff)
seriously, i think the changes are great. nice site. much nicer than the last one i was at. thanx!!!! and i don’t mean kinda.
Where’s my TU Status? I want my TU status back.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.
to get you started again…
and one to grow on
your efforts and hard work are shining nicely ; )
to all the crew at BooMan, and EU, KUDOS
Did we all lose tu status? I cannot read hidden comments anymore?
I think we did (not there were very many there to read anyway).
We should all have it back by the end of the day, right?
Well, it won’t be from a lack of trying…
The changes have blown my IE 6 margins. Firefox only shows the European Tribune link, but IE shows all of this underneath the EuroTrib link:
Housing (worldwide): the biggest bubble everOpen threadArab woman elected to Académie FrançaiseEurope and domestic partisanshipEuroPDB: June 17, 2005Faith-based child abuse in the UKDowning Street DocumentsThe Polish plumberFood for thought (I)Open Thread: FunniesOPEC and Toyota agree: oil too cheapEuroPDB: June 16, 2005
Looks like the IE problem is fixed now. Thanks.
Are you going to make the “recent comments” thing like the Eurotrib and the User Page buttons, with a drop down thing? That would be kinda neat.
Also is there a way to not have to add the ‘http:// to urls? I just recently noticed what happens when you don’t.
Cool beans on the changes.
