Glad to see flash being pruned back with this upgrade. Hopefully it won't be too long until it's totally eradicated.

Hi Matt,

I'm seeing some inverted colors on older blog posts, like this:

[View:/resized-image/__size/620x420/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-a59f5325-a20f-4889-b457-02ea4ed3e3ed/8838.contentimage_5F00_185308.jpg:620:420]

(this was from Getting Started with the Infineon DC Motor Control Board )

And also on other ones too.

When I click on the photo to expand it, all is well. It just appears inverted when the photo is viewed as part of the blog post.

Thanks,

Shabaz.

Only problem I've noticed so far is that in the inbox view the text doesn't wrap properly - it seems to split words arbitrarily at the end of the line.

I've just realised that I also have a problem with wrapping in the blog posts I do, too, though that's my fault. I prepare in Notepad and then cut and paste the content into the blog editing window. The result looks fine on a widescreen, where the display width is larger than the Notepad window, but if I reduce the size of the browser window then I get to the point where it has to wrap the lines and then I get long lines followed by short ones where the return takes effect. I could get rid of the hard returns, but then I'd have content the full width of a widescreen which I hate because it's so unfriendly to read. Is there a way for me to constrain the width without the hard returns? How should I be doing this?

What is the rationale for the large space between your name and your e14 badge? It also applies to the TMs and looks very odd visually (the badge now associates with the date). I was hoping that you'd deal with the 'private group' psychological effect that occurs in threads - it's a real inhibitor at the moment (when a group of TMs are having a conversation I usually, politely, leave them to it) - but if anything this makes it worse (look at it for a few moments and see where your eyes finally come to rest - it's in the middle looking at the badge). Obviously it's your site, and not for me to say, but I find it an odd approach to encouraging people to contribute.

We're aware of a few problems, like Gamification points not appearing on your profile page, but so far (cross fingers) we've not found too much else to worry about.
