ELynah Forum Update

How about including mp3 as a valid attachment format?

Done. Also raised the size limit to 614kb, but that's as large as it will go.

[CowbellGuy]

Updated the original post with a list of features, with more to come when things settle down.

The ELynah Live section now updates automatically every minute without needing to reload the page. Of course, the contents won't necessarily change that often.

Why 614?

Because that's as large as it will go. Duh.

Forum looking good.

I tend to keep up from my crappy phone using Google Reader's RSS.  RSS just shows new topics now, but not new posts.  Is RSS going away?  Not a disaster for me if it is, but just thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

No, but I did notice the RSS feed on my iGoogle page only showed threads, but also showed how many replies there were for the thread. Haven't looked at RSS, but it might be configurable.

OK, got it. There are actually RSS feeds embedded on each page with and without replies. At least here if I click and hold the RSS link, I can pick which one I want. The only difference is ",replies=1" added to the feed URL, so you should be able to change that in your reader.

I got the same message from both my work PC (XP) and my home laptop (Leopard).  Both times as a result of trying to vote in the poll.

Same.

Vista, FireFox

Same thing for me (Iceweasel, Debian).  Although after I "voted" the poll results display rather than the poll.
