Pony update, stat! (Please? Pretty please?) September 2, 2008 2:44 PM Subscribe
Pony situation report request.
I was thinking that the My Comments feature could use some tweaking, and lo and behold, someone beat me to it. So I was just wondering what became of stavros' great suggestion?
I searched, and couldn't find any updates. And my My Comments hasn't been changed, so I assume there's been no news.

Are you thinking open-source like Ponyzilla or closed-source like PonyTeam?

hmmm disappointingly, ponyxpress.com is taken. wprryingly it appears (on this stupidly small cell screen) to be either a dating site or a sex toys shop...

So, you are asking for them to look at the feature request database and do a pony dump?

Could the pony dump be downloaded via steam?

BrotherCaine - No, I just want to know the status of one pony.
Or is my humor-filter broken?

I forgot that I made that mockup, but I seem to recall some changes made after I did it being made that more or less satisfied my HUNGER FOR RECENT COMMENTS. I think it was just basically making the default page longer.
Not sure how much I'd use the tabs myself, now, being so set in my ways, but I still think they wouldn't be a bad idea. I do find myself wanting to check on my most-recents on the various subsites only more easily sometimes.

DJGH, uh, if you can call my attempts at humor, humor, your humor-filter is broken. I know you wanted the status of one particular pony, but I couldn't resist the joke. Thanks ArtW for taking it to the next level.

Just to break the lengthening Mod Silence (nothing personal, we've all just had busy days and this one seems to have slipped under the radar):
I think we left off last time with "this is a pretty okay idea". I'm not sure it's really on a priority list or anything, so I have no idea on the if or when of it.
In short, I have absolutely no information for you at this time.

Well I would like you to get on that as soon as you have a free moment please, cortex. Can we get a shortlist of our current priorities and their rough level of readiness? Remember how we talked about prioritizing two way communication with the userbase? I'd like you to deprioritize previous action points and move this to the front of the queue.

There once was a tadalist that Matt used to keep up to date. I think virtually all of the things on that list are now done. The notable exceptions I see are relative timestamps and a five-minute edit/delete window.

I can verify that this has been added to the shortlist of our current priorities with a general readiness level of yellow, elevated.

So in conclusion that is why Cortex needs a .50 caliber belt fed machinegun.

I read that as "50 caliber felt machine gun".
Note to self, create a felt machine gun.

The site filter is available now as a drop-down menu under the page title. Look for "Showing activity from: [All Sites]", and change the site. The page should reload with recent comments activity filtered to that site.

When I read that I thought you were asking for a list of all ponies that Matt agreed would or could be implemented, and how far along they were towards being implemented. I'm kind of dissapointed that this wasn't that. I'd like to see that at some point, if possible.
