I'm sorry but a blog post with over 1000 posts is not a scaleable discussion. It would take me days to figure out what has been said let alone find if LL had replied to any of the questions posed...besides what if the questions directly relate to the newer post. They are not exactly the same topic.

Just fyi, I have recieved several IM's in world regarding your reply to my first post as sounding like LL is "tired of hearing us whine so they turn comments off" and "they are imposing their own censorship"

At some point I think one discussion needs to be cut off and a new one needs to begin because I don't think even LL is keeping up with the 1000+ post blog entry. If you are cheers and kudos to you, but no way can I even begin to find an answer to my questions in that mess.

Re: the recent blog posts showing on startup screen....I am able to click "connect" before that info even shows up and I do. I suspect many have figured this out as well.

The best way to jump to Linden replies to comments posted in the blog is to search the page for the word Linden. (Ctrl-F in Firefox)


An even better search string when trying to jump to a Linden reply in the blog:

Search for linden says, it will skip right to the next Linden response header (bypassing any references to a Linden in someone else's comments.

Thanx Trevor! I'm personally involved with admin'ing the Official Linden Blog. It's excellent for some things, good for others, and not good for others more -- which is why we have an assortment of communications venues.

A clarification: no matter what the venue, we simply can't respond to each and every question because of how many there are, and how little time there is. I'm always happy when there are questions Residents can answer, and they help each other, or point to an official page. We do get what we can, and it continues to be of the foremost importance for us to nail hot issues and respond to them openly. Many blog posts are infact responses to the community!

What I'm hopeful for in the not-so-distant future is we'll get widgets added to the blog, as well as plugins which can highlight Linden comments for easy reference. Examples:

http://dailydoodles.dk/archives/2004/08/03/plugin-my-comments-for-wordpress/

I will be sure to make a big noise about these improvements as they come, the world needs to hear. :)
