Last night I managed to break the DNS records by reading the wrong help page, so for a while co.mments was inaccessible to many of you. I filed a support ticket with my DNS provider, and they promised to get back to me sometime tomorrow(!). Fortunately, their automated support system redirected me to the right help page, and I got it fixed. Needless to say, I’m not happy with them.
But I did manage to squeeze in a few improvements while waiting for the problem to be fixed. MetaFilter works better in this release, and you can also track comments from Upcoming.org. New users registering will also receive an e-mail with some brief instructions.
