late birthday

We here at dearinter.net were so busy working on updates that we plain forgot about our one month birthday! We’re making up for that tonight with a) a birthday party (complete with balloons and cake) and b) updates, yaayyy!

So what’s new? Well we’ve changed the look of the site a little, we’re now using a darker gray, apparently it was hard to read light gray on white (who knew?). We’ve also added a new detailed question link thing, letting you see more about a question before clicking on it.

We’ve added metavoting. With each metavote, you decide whether you liked a question or not. Questions with a very negative metavote automatically get removed from circulation in the answer-o-matic and from the dear internet frontpage.

You shy question authors out there will be pleased to learn that you can now post comments anonymously on questions that you’ve asked anonymously.

We’ve also added a help section.

Let us know if you have any problems, or if you like/hate everything we’ve done, or if you really wish we’d do something more.

Also, we’ve been Dugg, which is exciting. (We like being Dugg.)

    Have a great party - you guys have done a mighty fine job at making a highly addictive site! ;o)

    And although it is all a matter of aesthetics and personal tastes, since you asked, I am not fond of the new “home” page. It just seems too busy - I much preferred the simplicity and readability of the last version. Maybe it’s just that adaptation period that follows a change though…meh.

    My previous comment was made after viewing the site on my home computer (a Mac), which is fine. Now that I’ve seen it from my school computer (a non-Mac), it does look too busy, like Catherine said.

    The site doesn’t look as good in Internet Explorer. We’re working on it. In the mean time (and in general), we strongly recommend using firefox. Like a lot.
