Happy Friday! Update Coming On Monday

[AB Editor]

On Monday evening, around 9pm, we expect to provide a site update.

This update should see the following implemented:

1. Allowing users to sign in with their email address or username (and password).

2. Improved password reset & "Oops!" message (we hope these won't have to be used too much!)

3. Performance enhancements (hopefully a little smoother)

4. Alternative ad layouts (we're trying to pay the bills)

5. Best Answer implementation

There may be some downtime on Monday for this update, I'll give you plenty of warning though!

Any questions?

[AB Editor]

Sorry, forgot this :)

[ummmm]

We should have a best answer competition...

[AB Editor]

"What time can i go home?"

Now! Quick! Scurry forth!

"We should have a best answer competition... "

We should be publishing these stats regularly, but we won't be displaying them immediately.

'' We should have a best answer competition '' ...

And the winner gets a bottle of Champers :-)

[mccfluff]

[Nibble]

No!!! Winner get's a banana - see Ab Editor for details!!

[sunny-dave]

Dunno about 'best answer' - fluff is way ahead in 'facial hair of the week'

[albaqwerty]

unless you happen to be Craft, when the prize is a bottle of gin,
alternatively B00 and fluffy need cake.
JJ wouldn't say noy to ski-boots.
The prizes are endless.

Can I get head adornment of the site the ---- :-)

[sunny-dave]

@nibble - I though you were designing a chocowillinana as the official AB approved 'snack of the week' ?

[Mamyalynne]

What advantages or differences are indicated by update Number 1??

[Nibble]

S-D, I have the noviciate working on it as we speak. Interesting results though. :-0

[AB Editor]

Excellent.

[Gromit]

So you have added more clutter with the best answer at the top of each page and created room for another advertising space.

I realise you need adverts to keep AB free, but it does deminish the sites clarity. The best answer will just encourage OPs to promote views that they aree with.

[ummmm]

We used to be able to rate answers. Can't see this being much different.

[boxtops]

I don't like having to move past a moving advert to get to the answers - I like to see straight away who's answered.
