| The PHP version of the start page is (I think) done. It no longer shows all articles, but the comments tracking is improved, and it should be more stable than the ASP version. Your comments and suggestions are welcome, of course... |

| #37 Ok, Fred, I only see the pretty new set-up on pages 2 & 3. For what it's worth. But always, thank you for this site -- your improvements are icing on a 5-star cake. |

| #33 Under the Bridge sounds good. Too bad we'd have to pay for the use of a really appropriate photo... |

| #32 The changed format just showed up for me, Fred. Pretty! |

| #30 I like "Under the Bridge". But how about: "Hole in the Fence" or "The Sausage Factory"? "My Cardboard Box"? (maybe I'll use the last one if I ever start my own blog...) |

| #29 Step right up and peek under the Bridge! Love it Phil. |

| #28 I don't know if I'm going to dump them or start a "Dumbass Corner"... How about calling it 'A Peek Under the Bridge'. BTW, I love the new front page. |

| #27 Fred - wd like to search by commenter/user. Also, what about a simple rating system so that really stellar comments can be saved and accessed later? Greatest Hits, so to speak... Over time, you'd build up a list of subject matter experts and their expert commentary. Just a thought. Great work, thanks, thibaud |

| #26 It's on my list of things to do. Many of the posts are on-topic, but it's also the place where the trolls go. I don't know if I'm going to dump them or start a "Dumbass Corner"... |

| #25 Can we do something about the "Opinion" page? The dumbest stuff gets posted on there. Bigoted, jaundiced cokeheads? WTF? |

| #24 I think I'm going to leave it at this point until I get more time to work on it tonight. It's almost there, and I've got a backup in case it breaks again. |

| #23 Oh and make the comment count a leading blank of at leasts 2 digits in size so times line up. |
| Posted by: 3dc 2005-05-09 12:42 |
| #22 bold or switch colors for the comment count so ones eye doesn't mix it in with the times. |

| #21 Looks like it balloons the "Comments/Latest" column to about half the width of the page when that column is on top... |

| #20 Hmmm... |

| #19 Fred, for whatever it's worth, using Netscape yesterday I couldn't post active links. Thanks for your hard work. |

| #18 Ratz. We're back to the original PHP version. I hope to have the new PHP version fixed by the end of the day. |

| #17 thks Fred! |

| #16 It'll show up in a little bit. Right now I'm leading all roads to Rome... |

| #15 I don't see an opinions page.Is this deliberate or is there something wrong? |

| #14 O Club link is back... |
| Posted by: Fred 2005-05-09 09:53 |
| #13 I like it - loads faster |
| Posted by: Frank G 2005-05-09 09:29 |
| #12 Given the sterling behavior of ASP lately, I'd say to bookmark the PHP version now. I'm getting tired of restarting IIS, and I'm firewalled off at work, so it requires a restart of the entire server. I haven't had PHP freeze on me yet. |
| Posted by: Fred 2005-05-09 09:27 |
| #11 Blogroll's on the way back. I'll add O Club today. |
| Posted by: Fred 2005-05-09 09:07 |
| #10 I rarely used the blogroll, but O-club's been handy |
| Posted by: Frank G 2005-05-09 08:26 |
| #9 no O-club link? Blogroll? |
| Posted by: Frank G 2005-05-09 08:24 |
| #8 It's at http://www.rantburg.com/index.php |

| #7 How do I get to the php version?I must still be in asp.Thelatest comments is on the right not the left. |
| Posted by: raptor 2005-05-09 07:11 |
| #6 Way cool, Fred. Sweet. |
| Posted by: Dave D. 2005-05-09 06:22 |
| #5 .com, an addendum... That applies only to the index page. It does not happen on the article pages. |
| Posted by: Sobiesky 2005-05-09 04:41 |
| #4 Note: the "Latest Commented Articles" list never shows the last comment. |
| Posted by: .com 2005-05-09 03:17 |
| #3 A favor, Fred? You once made the headline "hot" while within the comment page for me. That little goodie got lost - can you add it to the php version? I do like the main page change showing the last commenter on the article - very very nice. *Kudos* |
| Posted by: .com 2005-05-09 02:30 |
| #2 Tell us all when you want us to bookmark the php version as the main portal to the site, as opposed to the asp version. It looks good, and I like the touch of having the latest commenter listed on the left. |

| #1 Much better, Fred. Well done. |
