SubscribeWe have completed a software upgrade which should help improve the viewing experience for those still using Internet Explorer 6. It also should have corrected a few minor formatting issues for certain browsers.
In other site developments:
- I have cleaned up our categories and tags. As the site grows larger, readers will find it easier to locate articles about their specific ISP or issues that impact them the most. The Categories tab on the left of your screen will grow as articles appear relating to other service providers or broadband platforms. When you click the category name, all articles regarding that category will be displayed to you in date order. The tags and categories are also more uniform and standardized.
- Our first wave of comment spam began about 24 hours ago so we enabled some spam prevention tools which should purge most of it before it becomes visible. If you use our Comment feature, which is available on every article here through a link just below the headline, please note that occasionally legitimate comments may be held up until they are approved by me. In most cases, doing things like putting more than two links in a comment or using key phrases or words which might be commonly used in spam may get the comment placed in the “waiting approval queue.” Please allow a few hours for me to get that comment approved. We do not censor legitimate comments, even if they disagree with the author (or other comments). But please be respectful and avoid personal attacks on other people here.
- The latest comments across all of our articles can now be seen on the left side of your screen just below the list of recent articles. I would prefer to see more of the actual comments displayed instead of just the subjects, so look for an improvement soon.
- Traffic on this site has grown dramatically since we went live at the end of July, and there has been some site drag because of the intense interest in this subject. If you’re new, welcome aboard. If you’re a regular reader, it’s greatly appreciated. We will be moving to a new server shortly to provide a better experience for our thousands of readers.
- If you experience any problems accessing or viewing the site, find an error, or have any comments or suggestions, please use the Contact link at the top of the page and let us know! Your news tips, story ideas, and ongoing participation really make this a better site for everyone.
Thanks again for the tremendous support and your steadfast opposition to usage caps and bandwidth limits. Together we can continue to send a strong message to any provider that takes customers for granted and attempts to manipulate the facts to justify charging more money for less service. Keep up the fight!
