Comment Notification—10:49 AM
A few of you (a very, very few) have made use of the comment notification checkboxes on onebee. They occur under every comment input box, and there's another checkbox in the Profile Editor which is kind of the über-checkbox: check that bad boy and you get e-mail automatically whenever anyone replies to any comment you leave on onebee.
Well, those checkboxes didn't really do anything for about a year and a half, starting with the time pH7media.com turned into onebee.com. I was under the gun designing the site and I never got around to making that work. So, if you've checked those boxes before and been disappointed, c'mon back! They're working now, and they're pretty cool. (And don't worry, each e-mail comes with its own pretty little unsubscribe link, so if you ever want off the train, we can make that happen.)
There are other little improvements like this scattered around, too; I hope you enjoy the new site.
Jeff Tidball, I replied to your comments on my JavaScript post, and you didn't get the e-mail notification you were promised. For that I am deeply, deeply sorry. You may consider this post a coupon valid for free babysitting in the future – and if you want, I'll even teach TEASPOON how to juggle fire: no charge!

'Tis not to worry, I saw the response, and had not been aware that a notification had gone missing. All is well in the world.
That said, my old onebee login/password seems not to be working...

Gah! Okay, that's two free nights at the movies and now I'll be teaching TEASPOON how to jump a motorcycle over a cage of lions as well.
Try the "password reset" page and let me know if it doesn't work. I can't imagine why just your account would be affected, but there are many dark mysteries lurking in the server warehouse.

Eeeeenteresting.
Reset my password as suggested, still nothing. But then inspiration strikes, and lo, switching from OmniWeb to Safari causes functionality. Weird.

Oh, Jeebus. OmniWeb. Didn't test in that one. I thought I could rely on it. I'll have to investigate... thanks for the tip!
