    Thanks!
    Do you use 2 usernames? One for the forums and a different one for the blogs? If so, is there a particular reason for that or can we combine them?

      When in my own blog, there is no edit button on my entries. There is an edit button when the entry is in the lineup, but that doesnt' work. Can we get an edit button for those of us who make mistakes on our entry and want to correct it or add to it.

      Thank you.

      Logout using the link above. Then log in (again using the link above) and go to your blog. You should then see edit buttons.

        On any page, including right now as I type this, on the upper right of the screen, it says, "Welcome, disneysteve" and right under that, is the "(Logout)" link. I can only see the very top of that word. The link is hot. I just can't actually see the word in full. I'm using Safari 4.0.5 if that matters.

          I thought I mentioned that in an earlier post, but I will second Steve's comment. I'm having the same experience using IE.

            Same problem here. The only way I can see "logout" in full is by reducing my zoom level to 50%, which of course makes everything too small to read, or by switching to "ignore font sizes" in tools > internet options > accessibility in IE8.

                I checked on my daughter's netbook using IE and it displayed properly but not on my desktop.

                  Last entries

                  I can't seem to get to the entire blogs, just the last entry. Used to be if I clicked on the blog title I got just that entry, but clicking on the blogger's name I got the entire blog. That way if I missed something I could read the last few entries. Now clicking on the blogger's name just says "page not found".

                    I noticed this too, it seems to be on the top five blogs that are bigger at the top of the page. I get the same error.

                    It seems to me that the forum postings have a lot of extra space between paragraphs and posts. Is this intentional or is this something on my end with IE8? It seems I shouldn't have to make changes on my end.

                      Yes, same here with Safari. Everything appears to be double spaced where before it was single spaced.

                            Down near the bottom of this page in the green bar you should see a drop down box to the left. What does it say is currently selected? SavingAdvice.com or Basic?

                              It says savingadvice.com. I tried basic and the spacing seems better. Which should I be on?

                                Hey! Great new look!

                                By the way, the "Most Talked About Entries" section in the blogs all_entries page has a parsing error. The URL is repeated twice.

                                And for those who has a link to the all_entries page, the format has changed, so your link needs to be updated.

                                Additionally, it appears that the forum is rendered in fixed width now? On my screen (at work), I have to center the scroll bar in order to see the whole page. It's not a huge deal if it's something that's difficult to fix.

                                By the way, I'm totally digging the universal login. It is universal now right? Can't be sure just yet. Anyways, keep up the good work!
