Good article Minti Moolah bug again

Comment Published at 19:1119:110 comments0 comments11 Visits11 VisitsReport

Looks like the Good Article Minti Moolah bug has reared it's ugly head again.

We reward m$350 (we just increased it) for writing good articles/advice.

We will fix the bug and your articles will be rewarded for the last couple weeks, so don't fret ;)

Exercise bike and diet coke update

Comment Published at 04:2704:279 comments9 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

Amazed by myself.

  1. 23 days in a row riding exercise bike for 30 mins every morning. Now it is just routine :)
  2. 15 days without Diet Coke (or soft drink), and feel HEAPS better :)

Minti mini ugrade

Comment Published at 01:5801:5810 comments10 comments56 Visits56 VisitsReport

You may have noticed we uploaded a few fixes & small features yesterday? They include...

  1. On your member homepage it now shows your latest 5 gifts.
  2. You can now receive multiple gifts of the same one. Previously if someone had sent you a "Minti Seabreeze" then no one else could send you one.... now they can! :)
  3. When you receive a gift it prompts you whether you want to send a gift back in return.
  4. Your friends list on your homepage has moved down the page and made way for some advertising, sorry about this ;)
  5. The "send gift" left hand navigation link is now visible without having to visit the members gift case.
  6. We have dropped the price of gifts by 50%!!!
  7. Minti's latest press release has been added to the press release page.
  8. Fixed the bug that wasn't sending an email when members reach admin level explaining the reporting links.
  9. A couple member's moolah statements weren't appearing, this are now fixed.
  10. After sending a Minti mail you are now returned to your inbox, or the members homepage depending on where you started.
  11. You are now unable to report blog posts or comments in private groups.
  12. The tag cloud links on the "read advice" page now link to "advice search results", rather than the "all search results".
  13. Now that we no longer allow votes on comments, we have also removed the stars in your member activity list.
  14. Fixed a couple bugs that were not allowing auto reported articles to display after being cleared by admin votes.
  15. Amended the Code of Conduct slightly.

So as you can see, lots of little changes. Any questions? Let me know in the comments below...
