Dude, I Got Sooooo Redesigned Last Night
Welcome to IvyGate, version 3.0. Zach Ozer, our preposterously gifted business and technology guy, has coded up a pretty major upgrade. We know you want to start complaining in the comments, so here's just a brief rundown:
- Speed. IvyGate is now a Wordpress blog hosted by MediaTemple, not a Movable Type blog hosted on Yahoo. Hopefully, this means zippier page load times and comments that post immediately, instead of the old 45 business days.
- Speaking of comments! Now you have to register to register your discontent. You can do so here.
- Bugs. Please let us know what you find via our fancy bug tracking gizmo.
Think that's it. You've got bitching to do in the comments, and our first guest-editor duo needs to make up for lost time, so we'll get out of everyone's way. Except to say once more that Zach, if you need a kidney, just ask.
See you next summer!
--Nick & Chris

Aw man, we need to register before posting a comment? The comments thread just got wayyy less interesting.

And COMMENT MODERATION? Oh, dear.

Oops, comment moderation wasn’t supposed to be turned on. Fixed now.

Wow! This is totally like Gawker now. I can assume a fake personae and have major lulz with all my friends.
(Hey Gawker, fuck you for not allowing me to be a commenter. Asshats. All of you.)

I sortof miss the little line at the top which said something like “You just spent fourty grand, treat yourself”. Otherwise I like the new site…
One possible bug (but it might be wordpress’s fault) occurs when you click to view the comments for the post and it sends you to the comments page, but scrolled down all the way below the comments (so you have to scroll up to see the comments).

We have to go by the same name every time?
New anonymous name for every comment, typically something witty or a display of one’s uni and year >>>>>>>>>> a consistent username.

I miss not having to have a username. I can get why it is useful, but at the same time, half the fun of Ivygate is the anonymity.

It’s really annoying how you consistently put your apostrophes for graduation years backwards.
