Problems are already appearing.

I'll have to think about how to handle this. It may not even be a bug. Anyway, when you create new pages, there is now an expanded facility to create the new page just like a page that already exists. When you do this the system makes the page in the same style (chronological,alphabetical,numeric,) copies the style sheet, copies any permanent text (left_text, top_text,) and also copies all the subscription information.

What just happened now (I'm guessing) is that alex made a new page using this cloning method - but he cloned /arboretum, so we all ended up having the new page on our front page (because it copied all the subscription information from arboretum, and we all have arboretum on our home pages.)

Perhaps cloning is too powerful. Maybe it shouldn't copy subscriptions too. I'm not sure. Anyway, just be aware that when you create a new page "just like" an older page, it really will be just like it.

We're back.

No doubt there will be problems. What the hell do you want for free?

So let me know if anything seems amiss and I will correct it asap.

I still have the old system, of course, and multiple copies of the old database, so if somebody finds a show stopper bug we can easily go back.

I wouldn't doubt it at all if things were screwed up in early browsers.

More new stuff coming this week.
