I'm going to take the site down in a few hours for major open heart surgery. Changes involve a ton of scary database work and migration. It all works on my dev server but may break on the live server. Watch for updates at my twitter account. See you in a bit ^^
God speed!
Good Luck Danny!!!
Had me worried for a second there. Good luck with the server then.
I always like this actually, because when sites come back up they usually have tnos of great content. Crazy stuff always happens when sites go down.
sites like the Apple Store ^^?

エート。。わたしならば、なにもしらない。 ダッニ(?)がはじめていたんだ。 Did I get that right? ^^;
もう一回
uwah, danny, actually this makes the page loading longer, and it's easier to read the comments the previous way >.<
Agreed regarding the ease of reading comments in the previous iteration.
I honestly like this better, that way we dont have to put @someone before we comment. I think there is too much info on each line though.. maybe if the scale of the avatars was smaller. Lets see what Danny rolls out before we disect it completely? Lol.
Ignoring everything that's going on now, I see a girl in the background of the picture ^^ Cutie?
i wonder what is the girl and guy doing in the background...danny u just candid them....0_x
is it just me or the page loads much more slower O.o
Load time seems fine to me... Looks like there are problems with date/time stamps.
Yep - working on that now (kinda ^^;)
the time is correct, the one you wewre looking might be the registration time, the post time is below the post content
That was intentional. Does it look odd?
@etherlite: You're right, I was looking at the registration dates. Oops. @Danny: It does look a bit out of place. The light grey is very hard to see, and the date itself seems to be placed oddly in the comment. (maybe that's one of those Safari bugs?)
Yes - css issues with safari. Will fix when I have a spare mo
Eh... No biggie. We're just familiar with previous time highlighted in green. Once we know where post time is it won't really factor.
I think the font colour is too similar to the background colour - need to stretch my eyes to read the post ID and posting time >_< I'd suggest to give more contrast, perhaps grayer colour will do? ^^
Me thinks there's too much personal info about each poster (is the hour and minute of registration necessary ^^;?), and that makes it hard to find the actual comment posted... And the time and date of the posted comment also seems to break in between the comment itself. is that intentional too? oO Just my two yen.
Problem with page layout - working on it orz
it seems purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect to me mate :D
Everything seems just fine to me, I like the comment RSS... even though I have as of yet to even use RSS lol. Now's as good a time as ever to try it out I guess.
So far looks ok to me ^^ Go Danny!! ( ' _ ' )/
Gyaaaaaaaaaa thats why the site wasn't working!!! Now I know lol. Yay that its back up!!!
I was confused for a while too. Kept checking my internet connection.
Danny in dat pic with da gun looks kakkoi, ne ^^
Danny, personal comment archive sequence seems slightly out of whack. Some of my most recent post start on page 5. New additional post seem to sequence properly though.
Thanks for spotting this. This was because I merged two databases together and am currently sorting by id instead of date. Will think about how to handle this problem.
i like how our avatar looks bigger now in the news items' comments. ^_^ but the page looks longer and harder to read. may i suggest that our comments appear on the right side of our avatar? this will shorten the page and make comments easier to view. ^^;
Yup i agree that the page has become much too long to hande. Perhaps making the avatar big but making the text smaller will do the job? D: Good luck on finishing on the makeover of the website ^^
The site is looking better and better by the minute; just that the length of the pages surprised me a little; I really thought there were that many comments. I'm fine with the avatar any way it is, though.
take care................afterwards....tooot...tot..tooooot. broken my system..>O<
won't a smaller avatar be better? o.O still not use to this >.
No offense Danny, but I think you need dance lessons from this guy. Ha ha ha! http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1nzEFMjkI4 Yeah, it's old. Sue me...
GOOD LUCK! MY EYES, THE LIKE THIS
looks cool.
one suggestion. a comment link below the comments will be good. some would tend to read everything before making a comment.
I agree...would be nice to have a comment link at the bottom :D No wonder the site was down earlier. I'm seeing a lot of changes here and there. Also, the site seems to be loading a bit slower compared to before. Might wanna check on that. ^^
yes agreed.
nee, danny, it really getting slower to open your site, is it because of the database? and btw, the newest news item (fuujin) didn't show up in the RSS feed, i already reloaded it but it didn't show up, and also, the RSS feed is getting really long, i think it was half of today's length before
Already came back? I noticed some changes... Aw, I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye! :P
On another note, just so Danny knows it: my Google Reader just collected all Danny Choo's News Items since "Girls be young" as new. 25+ news items. They are all with today's date, on 9:36 in the morning. Must have something to do with the server reset. I was like WOW, Danny shure posted tons of stuff today. But then I noticed I had already read all of them.. awwww
good luck on making the site even more better
The comment hiding thing for news items and posts on the front page is gone now. :'(
Im sure he will get to it. If not, we will all whine to remind him. Lol.
Great pose~
Is that Danny in the Stormtrooper costume? Sexy shot. Should put it in a Star Wars bikini spread or something.
You want to see Danny in a golden bikini? Do not want!
Gah, you, giving weirds ideas out of the blue like that! (Half-jokingly said, but really... *Grumble*)
clear skies danny
wait, has this surgery finished?
Yes, it has... You haven't noticed changes yet, have you?
Oh yeah I was wondering were you able to add that feature that had to do with seeing a post a year back but the same date?
not sure if this is a bug. i changed my profile picture with one that i uploaded myself. but its still using my old profile picture (selected from dannychoo.com) danny, maybe u can come out with a menu of shortcut link "Bugs" so its easier to access there u can put a put a list of bugs and mark which is fixed and their work arounds ...bla bla bla
