Server Maintenance in Site Updates
This one will be quick. I’ve got to apply some security patches - don’t expect much down time but it could interrupt you if you’re on the system right now. Thanks. UPDATE: Got delayed, going to...

Video ads in Site Updates
I’ve been getting a lot of complaints about video ads. It was never my intention to bombard you with those. Advertising seems to become more aggressive when you let it go unchecked. Anyway, sinc...

Expired Wiki, you say? in Site Updates
I’ve been busy and backlogged on PB stuff, but I wanted to mention that I’m aware of the expired wiki. It was put together mostly by one awesomely dedicated community member. I don’t think she’...
Youtube problems in Site Updates
People have been reporting some Youtube embedding issues. I’m pretty sure it’s not actually related to the recent change I made. So I’m changing something else that I think is the culprit. If y...
A real update! Holy wow. in Site Updates
OK, so I’ve fixed some rather nefarious behavior and added one minor feature… First, the fix. The book save behavior was not working as it should, particularly for people who like to use differe...
