John E. Thursday, December 4th at 2:02PM EST (link)Can my registration date be corrected (eventually)?
According to http://archive.redstate.com/user/john_e_0 it should be about 11/13/2005.
Redstate 4.0 shows it as 4/?/2007.

One bugreport
skey Thursday, December 4th at 2:08PM EST (link)when going to:
http://wordpress.redstate.com/USERNAME/wp-admin/profile.php
If you’re logged in, it doesn’t actually matter what USERNAME is, although the page will reflect the (possibly) wrong username in the header.
This will make it difficult for sock puppets to manage their multiple accounts, although that might actually be a feature, come to think of it.
Is one of the bugs to be worked out

Do you have a list of reported problems we can view?

Hey Aaron,
Tanggor Thursday, December 4th at 5:19PM EST (link)I didn’t mean it to sound critical at all…just was trying to be supportive and stuff…I really meant it as a “general” kind of statement.
I know how tough it is rolling out new production code - it makes you use words unsuitable for polite company.
Guess it was my attempt at the “Ra Ra Go Team!” thing.

Dave_in_Fla Thursday, December 4th at 4:27PM EST (link)I can’t figure out how to edit a diary entry and I can’t figure out how to categorize it.

Looks like using a "dash" in the title is bad
Dave_in_Fla Thursday, December 4th at 4:50PM EST (link)That seems to be what is confusing tinyurl. I manually edited the entry to be exactly the URL of the entry, and when you go there through the resultant tinyurl link, you get a “not found” error from RedState. What I had to edit is some %20blahblah stuff that got put in to replace the dash by the twitter javascript code.

Attack Mode Thursday, December 4th at 5:45PM EST (link)Not sure of the details but my guess is that all the users, other than a select few, don’t have the rights to moderate their own comments and at the same time their isn’t a way for all the comments to be set to auto post without the need for moderation.
My suggestion is to post once…if it doesn’t show up immediately it will once Neil implements the fix.

I'll summarize it
Neil Stevens Thursday, December 4th at 6:00PM EST (link)I have to disable comments moderation for about 40,000 WPMU blogs. Then I need to de-moderate the comments that went into moderation today. That’s a big process that will have to be automated and could have something go wrong.
So I’m approaching that issue methodically.

Finrod Thursday, December 4th at 7:25PM EST (link)I logged back in just now and saw 5 pieces of email with comments for me to moderate, couldn’t figure out how to approve them, then realized that my diary entry had been front-paged (woo hoo!), and read this here, and the light bulb finally went on.
Good work, Neil, getting this all up and going. Even with the current issues, it’s already a major improvement on 3.0; you even have one of the features that I thought of but never mentioned! (Namely, the post editor inserting html tags instead of punctuation that later got transmogrified into html.)

Can we please get RS3.0 back.
mbecker908 Thursday, December 4th at 7:41PM EST (link)I miss the functionality of it.
(I’m typing this to see if the “troll button” works. :>)
Soon you won't
Neil Stevens Thursday, December 4th at 7:47PM EST (link)And when I say soon I mean it. This isn’t like that piece of junk RS 3. I won’t have to spend the next YEAR trying to make it fast enough not to crash horribly, and still see it crash horribly anyway.
I’m serious. I know we didn’t launch in January, but I’ve basically spent from January to October trying to make that junk work right,a nd it was futile. I’ve spent from October to now making WPMU work for us, and it’s already so close.

SNARK Neil, SNARK...
mbecker908 Thursday, December 4th at 7:57PM EST (link)But, for real, I am very honored to have Martin Knight be the very first commenter in my very first RS4.0 diary. But I’ve got two problems (OK, I’ve got more than that, but only two relating to the diary). One, how do I go back and edit the darn thing. I’ve got a parenthesis going the wrong way and it’s driving me crazier. Two, how do I “approve” Martin’s comment? I tried the “approve” button from my dashboard and it didn’t work. Also, how do we submit diaries that don’t require approval for comments?
Thanks Neil. You’ve done great work.

bigcat1967 Tuesday, December 9th at 5:07PM EST (link)I can’t stand this media. At least Fox can get it right every now and then. Brit Hume did a thing on Fannie & Freddie a while back - found it on Youtube. I found a second video of the Democrats being totally against any type of regulation on Fannie & Freddie while some Repubs were warning of financial doom (in so many words). Unfortunately, bias in the media has been a problem and we are not able to get the full truth concerning this mess by the two giant housing agencies. I’m actually more mad at the media than the rascals we have in D.C.
and for occasionally telling the truth Fox is dumped on
