@charmed7: Thank you very much for the word-of-mouth! Since Lottery Post does not have an advertisement budget to speak of, that kind of advertising is so important and appreciated.

@MADDOG10: Awesome, I'm glad to hear it helped. Sorry about the length of time where it was a little rough. I am trying to balance a number of technologies in each page, and it can be a very hairy thing to get it just right .

Wanted to post one more follow-up on this thread.

I have hopefully fixed the bug that many IUE users were seeing the page would occasionally throw a severe JavaScript error in IE and then show a blank page, forcing you to click Back, then Refresh. Hopefully it has been eliminated.

A few other fixes were implemented:

Fixed the state lottery results pages, which would show blank jackpots in IE6 Added Share/Bookmark button to news stories, allowing instant sharing of news stories to pract... [ More ]

A quick follow-up on some additional bug fixes just posted. In addition to the fixed bug posted previously this evening, I have just finished uploading another set of fixes. (It is common after a big release like last night to find a few straggling bugs when the code is put into production.)

The login page no longer warns about non-secure content Certain pages contained an extra HTML element that was not visible to users but could throw a browser warning message Locked topic threads once aga... [ More ]

Hi Todd,

Thank you for sharing. I know that you put in a lot of hard work and it takes great effort and time on your part

to create a forum that is as entertaining and valuable to Lottery Post members. You continuously find ways to

make this website easier for everyone to use. Technology is a wonderful thing when it works properly.

When I need a break for the mundane I can always turn to LP for advice, insight, news and entertainment.

Todd keep up the good works and have a b... [ More ]

One small problem. I get the message:

Error

You did not specify a valid forum post to reply to.

When clicking on the Post Reply button in news stories on the front page.

Same problem when clicking on the Post Reply button in news stories in the Lottery News forum.

I am so happy to hear that, and to know that the new page even helped one person get their software up-to-date makes it 100% worth the time and effort it took to make. My aim is to help people have the best expeirence possible on their computer, while doing so in a secure environment.

Great Todd.

I had noticed the changes, but not realizing what was going on. Kinda like, Gee, that looks different . Duh!

But then, I'm not very tech savvy.

Thanks for your very hard work and time put in on this great site.

(Are you sure you didn't win MM or a big jackpot sometime to afford this???????) LOL.

Lottery Post Site Update (Feb. 25, 2009)

Todd — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:05:09 GMT

As many of you know, I did a site update last night. It included changes that have been in the works for a few months, which I'll document here.

This was a very challenging update, because it dealt with the forums a very complex part of the site, as well as one of the most important parts. In order to finish the new parts, I had to basically stop doing almost everything else and work exclusively on this for the past few weeks. It's hard to tell from looking at the new pages, but it was really... [ More ]
