The reason there are only 37 Wedge friends on FB now is that people still don't know about Wedge, the product.
+1

I'd also add the the number of likes there means absolutely nothing at this point. There are folk like me that like most if not all of what I've read but I haven't made it over to the FB page, so that's not a reflection of how I feel about Wedge (that's just me being too lazy to click a button that's right in front of me). Also, until users are able to test Wedge, there's no way for them to really gauge how the truly feel about it.

Interestingly, that's the exact same reason I'm not changing my nickname to Butters. :P

New, resolved already exist
Closed and On-hold will be added.
Confirmed, you'd have to convince Arantor to add :P

In theory custom fields (categories) can be used to achieve this as well.

Should be sufficient as/is IMO, there is an open issue regarding additional statuses maybe state the statuses you'd like to have... it may or may not make it in... There's no colour coding though because of the way the tickets are already presented in blocks.... but I'm sure you could tweak that if you wanted ;)

If only I were so methodical... oh well!
And to think, much of that was from your advice :P

It just works better for me that way anyway... I get to completely ruin a local tester if needed until it works properly then I go live with it.

Exactly. SimpleDesk 2.0 will be out around the same sort of time, but that at least deserves some congrats because of the 12k lines of code added since the first release.
I can attest to that being able to play with them first hand... and that's the kind of thing that should drive excitement not a version change saying I found some bugs and fixed (though you may not have been aware of the bugs).. I doubt many if any of the bug fixes affect my site, so I never noticed and I dont get too many reports of oddities from my members.

The main one is bug fixes. The security change in RC5 was backported to the security patch which runs on RC3 with emulation, so you're not missing anything there.

The one that may come into play more in time is the integration hooks; they were all added after RC3, and without someone packaging those, you're SOL[1] without an upgrade to at least RC4 - and because of the way hooks have been implemented and changed between RC4, RC5 and final, you may find you have to upgrade to fix mod issues with the hooks.
I completely suck a coding anything but I actually pay attention to what I'm taught and I'm prone to follow a certain amount of logic at times... I keep a copy of all working mods on my PC I check them with emulation when a new RC is released, if they work fine.. if not I seek the changes a make a new mod package for myself, which is why so far even the bits about hooks havent affected me in anyway so far...

It's interesting how mods drive things at times; the only reason I moved one site to RC1.2 in the first place from 1.1.9 is because of Project Tools, and it's funny how I'm only moving that same site to RC5 because of another mod, being used in much the same way...
In some cases major feature will be more of the driving force than anything as to whether to upgrade or not. I wouldn't sacrifice the security of my site for anything minor but If I need to dump a major feature that will certainly delay upgrading most likely. I would even admin that SD was the reason to move to RC3 though it installed fine on RC2 with emulation when it was released but just in case anything went awry I'd rather be using the version it supports.

The fact that final brings nothing new to the table is why I'm already 'meh' about it. Of course on the day it's release there will be a bunch of 'congrats' posts... but I'm stuck on congrats for what? I do by all means have a high level of respect for those behind the coding because simply put if it for you all/them my site(s) wouldn't be where they are now or maybe I'd be still struggling along damning vb to hell and back.

My main site is still running RC3 with the security patch and 2 other mods to deal with security. In a recent discussion about what are we doing when Final hits I pointed out that the only real reason to move to RC5 or Final is SD2.0... no other reason unless someone can point out something that I'm missing. I'm ata point where I could careless really about whether or not final ever gets released (well with the exception of the licence change which, which affects you guys to some degree).

Regardless of what I have read about 2.0 Final being close or at the end of the month, there is nothing that tickles me to have that eager/cant wait/curious kind of feeling. I went from RC1.2 - RC2/3 only because it made sense and it moved to RC3 only a week or 2 before RC4 and cant see the benefit to moving to RC4or5 right now let alone final. As it stand every mod I use work and provide the functionality I seek... if SD 2.0 would work on RC3 even then I'd have less reason to upgrade.... so in short unless there are security fixes I really need to be concerned about in Final, I'll be on RC3 until SD2.0 is out and after that I stay where I am until/unless something better comes along.

The Pub / Re: Front Page
« on May 21st, 2011, 11:33 PM »
I use a portal because I don't like landing on the boardindex and all I use is the frontpage, no side blocks anywhere in the forum. I display a welcome block, only the topics considered news and announcements, a few random images from the gallery and that's about it really. So what's described above would work just fine for me.

I'm sure (at least assuming) there will be options to enable/disable dislikes so those who dont want to use it can can disable it.

I installed live's like mod a while back and my users simply didnt like it because it was one-sided to them.

And I'm all for it  :eheh:
Then again my site doesnt have too many sensitive users at all, if you give them the option to like but not dislike, they will post their dislike in the thread anyway.

The new "styles" now are titlebg/windowbg variations I've seen used in portals mods, even from SimpleDesk..and while they are nice in themselves(suiting Curve better than the previous styles which wasn't Curve-based at ALL)
[OT]
Feel free to offer some help or suggestions on SD, we have discussed changing bits of the layout here and there, Arantor has done some awesome things getting it to where it is but we certainly welcome a designer's touch ;)

I get that much.. my statement was more based on whether a section needed to be declared if there is only 1 section... and that where they have section 2.1 is referring to Article II, section 1 opposed to section 1.0 being missing.

I took a look at a few corporate filings just out of curiosity and noticed that many do not declare section to an Article if there is only 1. As a far as Section 2.1 and I didnt come across any corporate filings using that format (admitted I dont care enough about the situation to search more than I already did) but I've seen a few other legal doc that used that format.
