Updates and Bug Fixes

Thanks everyone for the feedback on usability and bugs. Lenny got to work ASAP on the bugs not to mention enabled a new feature...

• Period in username had a problem when viewing a user profile. Charred.Atheist reported this.


• Enabled private messaging between people. Click the "message" icon next to a friend under your profile, and you can send them a message to your friends. Check it out!


• On signup, you get an initial private message welcoming you to the site (seen from the front page) after signup.

Also, as a sidenote, there is a mini "social networking" feature to the site, where under PROFILE, you can set your web site, IM accounts, job, and even add friends etc...

Enjoy!

The Atheist Spot Team

Irony at its finest

I was doing some site maintenance on The Atheist Spot while sipping some coffee at Starbucks, and this young lady came into the store. Out of all the people in the store sitting on their own, she heads straight for me and hands me a flier. (Why me? Am I feel like I am a magnet for stuff of this sort.)

At first I was thinking she was a Hare Krishna or Christian, because I have run into them before. But she was a Muslim promoting Islam! She was soooo focused on explaining Islam, and the resources on the list, that she did not see The Atheist Spot up on my laptop. I just accepted the flyer, she went on her way, and I resumed working on The Atheist Spot. Too funny.
