Some minor site changes:

On your 'my profile' page, there is an entry for your BGG ID. If you enter and save it, that id will show up next to the messages that you post.
The user who posted the message should now show up in your notification emails.

Thanks to Scott who's been working hard on the site and motivating me to work not as hard, but some!

Awesome, Thanks!

It does tell you who posts a reply to a thread but it looks like it still doesn't tell you who started a new thread.

Also, is there any way to subscribe to all new threads by default?

ETA: Yikes! That was quadruple spaced! Something to do with the iPod browser?

A few new changes:

I added a new drop down to the 'my profile' page that gives you the ability to override the normal notification behavior. It has three settings:

'Only notify me on topics I specifically flag' is the default and should not change the current behavior of notifications.
'Always notify me when a new topic is created' will cause you to always get a notification if anyone creates a new topic but doesn't change the 'reply' notifications from normal
'Always notify me on any new topic or reply to existing topic' will cause you to always get a notification when anyone replies to or creates a new thread.

Note that the overrides will notify you of your own message (I prefer that, myself, let me know if it's undesirable from your viewpoint).

I also changed the 'New Topic' notifications to include the user and also show the body of the topic message being created.

Let me know if you notice any issues.

This is great John, thanks!

I know I'm just being picky at this point but how hard would it be to include line breaks in the emailed text? Right now everything runs together.

A couple other things:



1) I seem to have to edit to fix spacing issues after posting in Chrome. (A double space turns into quad spacing for some reason.) It's just in the initial add message function, the edit function seems to work fine. Not a big deal, I don't mind cleaning up after myself.




2) Smiley faces are broken. Smells like either the server can't find the image file or the image file doesn't have the right permissions.




3) I think it would be cool to use your yellow meeple as a favicon.ico. I can send you the file if you'd like. I'm getting used to seeing icons in browser tabs now and the ABG tab is sadly empty.
