Bookmarks update and 5,000 users! in Site Updates

First of all, we finally hit that 5,000 user milestone. That's pretty cool! (note that I'm going by the actual number of users with active accounts as listed in the Browse Users section - as far as keys in the url go, we hit 5,000 a while ago).

OK, so I have received a ton of cool suggestions for the Bookmarks listing, and what I've done really only scratches the surface. But it's an improvement, I think. In addition to cleaning the page up to look more consistent with other parts of the site, I've combined the Bookmarks listing into a single section with three different buttons for filtering. It should be fairly self-explanatory, but by default now it only shows you unread bookmarks. The "Latest" option gives you only the latest entry that each person you have bookmarked has written, and "All" is... everything.

Also, I've limited what shows in the "Unread" view to entries written within the past week. It seems unlikely that people will want to page back through more than a week of entries. If you've been away for more than a week, you'll most likely go to the "Latest" view to see what's the latest for people you follow (although everyone has their own system which makes the perfect bookmark system pretty much impossible).

Cool beans in my coffee.
