This means you’ll see a little green padlock in the URL bar in your browser, much the same way your bank or shopping site does.

Sadly, I don’t think I can fix this easily since it’s a deeper level issue in our forums software. However, I have made a tweak that makes the autocomplete of @mentions work in the reply box, which should help to some…[Read more]

@Sarvi: In this comment do you know what device and/or browser you see that issue with? I’ve been trying to figure out under what conditions that happens.

One change we made did not end up making the site faster and in fact seemed to slow it down. So, as of an hour ago, we have reverted that change.

One other change that was made has to do with the main forums…[Read more]

Some of the layout issues with Kindle Fires should be fixed now, too.

Sorry it took a little longer than expected, folks. You write a lot! And converting all those posts and replies to the new forum format took a little time.

We have some new things around here. I’m sure Todd will talk about it a little bit in the coming days. We have a few more things planned, too.

Turns out it was very easy to add a search feature, so we’ve gone ahead and done it.
You’ll now see a search box on the bottom of every page.
Happy searching.

There isn’t currently a search function built into the forums–although that’s something that we may consider adding as the amount of content here grows.
For the time being, we’ve structured the forums by pattern. So if you have a question about a specific pattern, you can go into that forum and browse the small number of posts there.
