Saved from the web by a job in industry. Coding GUI for computer-aided railway realignment machinery.

At last a job where I have time to do stuff properly and don't have to worry about loads of unfixed bugs coming back to haunt me.

I've got a correction for this, I'm just waiting a bit to see if there aren't some other fixes that I can fit into the next version too.

Hm, it's an idea. I'm not sure about the execution though. The problem is that the user name is retrieved asynchronously, so dynamically updating the descriptions as you see them in the popup would be... not hard, but work. Alternatively, I could do the replace on insertion, but that might confuse some people. Conclusion: I'm thinking about it. Right now.

@ObsessiveFOSS, what would be really nice is to have all the feature requests and bug reports on meta, but I'm not sure that would go down too well.. As for auto-answers, I'm guessing that would get shot down in flames.

@jrg, actually, don't. There seem to be problems with parallel ajax queries here. While trying the next version I found the comments sometimes just disappear and never come back.

Hm, that's not a bad idea. I'll see what I can do. There are quite a lot of requests about the Welcome message. Ideally I should be able to keep everyone happy. We shall see...

A bit of an edge case, I'll bear it in mind.

@jrg, I'll bear it in mind. For the moment, you could try this (I haven't tested): at line 581 add this code: LoadFromRemote(GetStorage("RemoteUrl"), function () { WriteComments(popup); });

Yes, it's planned for vNext, just not sure quite how to present it yet.

@KitMenke, for testing I used DropBox, the poor man's web server.
