Jaiku Downtime: 10:30 EET

We’re going to have some downtime for a couple hours at about 10:30 EET so we can pretty ourselves up for Jyri’s talk at ETel.

Update: You’ve all been active, our database update is taking a bit longer than expected, sorry for the delays we’re crunching away as fast as we can.

Jaiku Routine Downtime

Doing some database work tonight starting at midnight EET (so 14:00ish Pacific), should take a couple hours, see you on the flipside.

New improvements

Good things are in the pipeline, and the first set of improvements has made it to the surface already.

Vroom! It’s faster
We’ve increased performance under the hood and the site’s now generally speedier to use all around. This affects all pages, and publishing new posts is especially quicker.

URLs are now links
Embedded URLs in posts and comments are now displayed as clickable links. The way it should be everywhere on the Web.

Better notifications
Email notifications of new comments are now sent to everyone who has posted to the thread. This is a handy way to find out when the author of the original post or someone else responds to your comment.

Formatting in comments
It’s now possible to add simple HTML formatting to comments. The supported styles are as follows:

  • _emphasis_
  • **bold**
  • [link text](http://jaiku.com) -> link text
