Lots of work at home but I need to give at least short update about the major upgrades I released today. I was working on these for quite some time and I was receiving numerous related requests. But as you will see these upgrades resulted in a serious revamp of our unique Pulse so I actually spent more time on planning / thinking than on actual coding.
In summary, I’ve added the Watchlist feature that allows you to be notified – on the Pulse page or also by the emails – a...

Hey, I hope you will enjoy a brand new update of our project pages. When entering a project page you will immediately see a larger version of the main picture.

Just click on any of the thumbnails to view enlarged version of that picture:
Zoom Pictures button opens a slideshow view of the high-resolution project pictures.

As you may noticed I’ve added new posting rules to the site. You can see red “View the posting rules” link above each textarea. Just click on it to expand the latest version of the rules.

This initial integration streamlines cross-posting of your new LJ posts (projects, blog entries, forum topics and reviews) to your personal Facebook feed. Let’s see how this works.
1. First you have to check “Publish to my Facebook” checkbox when posting a new post here on LJ:

I’ve just added another useful feature to the Pulse based on your feedback to the recent major Pulse upgrade. I admit that showing only unread items by default was not ideal (I’m using Pulse in that mode for a long time you know…). So I decided to add the following two buttons – ALL ITEMS | UNREAD ITEMS:
ALL ITEMS option shows unread items as well as all of the items that you’ve read – the gray lines – and is a default one. You can keep using i...
