Hi guys,

Further to Stephen's posting. I've formed a list of actions that we'll begin to act on over the next two weeks. I ask for your patience as we start.

* Fix PMs
* Fix issues with users having multiple accounts after the merge
* Fix so community can view recent posts
* Fix so community can preview before posting
* Fix so community can edit posts from the past, rather than the current 1 hour and then it's closed to editing
* Spam. Largely resolved but will be adding ways to mark people as non-spammers to avoid the innocent getting caught.

Just wondering what advances have been made. We still can't preview posts nor can we edit older ones. And the lack of email notifications for posts we comment on makes it very difficult to keep up with conversations. Thanks, guys.

I think of myself as someone who is filled with love, whose only purpose in life was to achieve love. - Stephen Fry

That list was announced last October.

Updating folks here on what has been fixed and what remains to be fixed, would go a long way to avoid further confusion and redundant questions.

'Fix PM's' is first on that list and I think beyond any 'fix', the owner of the account *really, really* ought to be able to specifically or generally delete PM's. Some people don't want to delte a PM straight away because they need to reference it. While waiting, sometimes other PM's come in. These PM's build up quickly. It's very cumbersome and tedious to have to sit and delete every msg in an Outbox one by one, and then the Inbox one by one.

A check box next to each msg that is connected to a 'delete' or 'delete checked' below the page ( or one below the Inbox and one below the Outbox ) would be much, much better so you could wipe out several PM's in one fell swoop if you wanted to.

Will this feature ever be added?

I used to have a quote by [name of a guy here]. Now I don't.

Hi Mr Fry. I am new to the tweeting business, but have to say; having read some of the feedback here, what a lovely group of people you all are. How refreshing to see support as opposed to negativity. May you all enter tweeter heaven.

Hi Stephen, I agree with Pat (above)...your space has love emanating from it, which is so rare to find nowdays. Makes me want to squeeze everyone's cheeks. Don't ever stop doing what you do, cos' then the world really would be a sadder place

Very very interesting. I aspire to be you (like you for genetically that is never possible) one day (unless a type of cloning allows me to be turned into a a balding beer bellied man) for in the common term your just plain awesome and sadly I am about to leave my childhood on March 28th 2010 for i shall be 13 so you could say I am becoming closer to becoming "like you."

Keep on Twittering Mr Fry.

I just joined up and like it here just fine.
I was attracted to Stephen after watching he and Chris Hitchens on the Intelligence Squared debate: "Is the Catholic church a force for good in the world?"
I was especially intrigued by what Stephen said about Thomas More. So much so that I did some digging and found out some things about Sir Thomas that I did not know. In fact, what I found out was somewhat disturbing.
At any rate, I've been following Stephen on Twitter and am happy to find a place where I feel a little closer to him.

I have recently joined and find this forum and site generally a pleasant place to be. No complaints, apart from the already stated difficulty in following thread s I have posted in. Maybe a link to click on that takes you to your posts/posts you have commented on. Anyway, lovely place you have here.

Good grief, if you could please all of the people all of the time then we'd have found a new religion!
Thankfully, technology isn't infallable...luckily for us as I have no intention of handing my clothes, boots and motorcycle over to a naked Austrian in a red-neck bar!

"change is good. You go first". Bless you, Team Fry. Hiccups are all part of the wonderful world of the interweb. In a world gone mad with speed, a little patience is a virtue indeed. Keep up the good work. Also, I want to say, Douglas Adams is near and dear to my heart (as is Mr. Fry) and I can think of no one better to bring LAST CHANCE TO SEE to a new audience than Mr. Fry.
Cheers!

Kilgoria loves you

gadgetgirl: I think it might be more appropriately compared to the geology lounge at my old college, where I once heard they had a rock-slicer and hedonistic sex.

I no longer believe that we can keep silent. We never really do, mind you. In one way or another, we articulate what has happened to us through the kind of people we become.

I LOVE THIS WEBSITE
Teething problems are more an indication that there are real people dealing with this and it doesn't really matter that I can't preview posts. I don't think this is the type of forum where people who make typos are punished. I once visited a forum where members secretly changed the position of my apostrophe (falsly). Silly.
I am not an expert so if anything is improved upon to ease communication here that'd be great.
I have also just found this site and have only really tickled its whiskers. I hope to lurk around and maybe add a few posts from time to time. I was in a chicken forum once - that wasn't much fun, although they were very welcoming and always send me a happy birthday note. I also joined an ex-pat forum- I am still a member but have forgotten my password, like so many others. The ex-pats are a bit well, not unfriendly, just... well they have their camps and know each other pretty well, so I don't visit it often. Last time I thanked the members of a forum for their friendly welcome I could almost see the tumbleweed roll across the dusty plains.

Anyway this site is fantastic although I was shocked by Homer Simpson - I still giggled - but had to check in the mirror that I wasn't also a "Homer". phew, not yet anyway.
I should also be studying right now. I am well overdue for my assignment and my tutor is great. But this is just so much more interesting than positivism, critical theory and blah blah blah. I shall have to watch that I try to curb my visual imagery and embroidery when I finally get back to it...which is now. Sorry, I talk too mch.
Bye xxx

There is always love.

There ARE good people around, I've seen that here. Funny how just reading something can change your whole outlook, how wonderfull. Think I'm going to like it here. Thank you Stephen for being you.
