A wee update on Adlands new face

Hey there all happy adgrunts

I'm still tweaking (you might not even notice, or you'll see sudden changes and go - Whoa! Dude, what's going on? - either way it's just me tinkering). Now trackbacks are back on (albeit moderated because we get a lot of trackback spam, le sigh) and the users own profile pages have been prettified. See mine. You all know that you don't have to drag around that old avatar you got on the old site right? You can upload your own picture, 85*85 pixels max and look all suave.

Also emailing all users (in small spurts) that we've rebuilt, mainly to find dead accounts. With 78692 adgrunts in total and only about 48000 recently active (which is still a helluva lot) I'd like to delete the accounts that were never used in order to free up some usernames for people who will use their accounts. That sounds fair right? I mean, users have been signing up for 7 years here, and quite a few accounts can be declared dead for various reasons, misspelled emails, closed email accounts, or plain old spammers we've had a few of those. Cheers.

Thanks. :)

I turned trackback off after seeing twenty pages of trackback spam to moderate. Real sites seldom trackback these days anyway, it's just a headache. Shame.

Nice, but the comments section needs some work as you can't really tell at the moment who said what.

I agree. There, that's a little better. Could probably do better than this. :)

Having the FAQ back soon would be nice. :)

Really? I thought nobody read that thing since everyone kept asking me anyway. ;)

Yeah, I'm probably the only person who likes to refer to the FAQ. I always found the FAQ helpful. I guess I'm from the old school.
