For The Record…
By 7.14.06
• There are two editors at Consumerist, Ben Popken and John Brownlee. That means if you have a hope, a one and only hope, it’s actually two and only hopes. That’s twice the hoping power than never before! When emailing, feel free to address us jointly, as both of us read the tips line. This also explains the profligacy of the first person plural.
RSS Fixed For Really Reals?
By 7.12.06
Preliminary reports indicate that RSS might be totally fixed. Like, no problems fixed. Like, everything works the way its supposed to. Is this true? Could this be? Has Valhalla silently appeared through the mists of ‘orizon? Respond in the comments. Bananas for the code monkeys, on the house.
In Search of Smoking Guns
By 7.7.06
Is the corporation leaving you soulless? Has the company lost its way and needs some public attention to set it straight? Or are you simply possessed by a seething anger and need to lash out at the closest object, once succor, now shipwreck? Any of these and more are really great reasons to send us luscious source documents from your place of employ.
RSS Fixed?
By 6.29.06
Tentative early-morning reports indicate that our much wonky RSS feed may be fixed. Is this true? Let us know by email or comments if it’s working for you or if there’s anything remaining needing tweakage.
Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! We’re Fixed!
By 6.19.06
We started another week of Consumerist blogging with a heavy heart; we were sure we were looking at a third week pregnant with the ongoing technical difficulties that we’ve come to expect from a thoroughly borked Movable Type install, miscarrying a slurry of errors for us every time we lightly pressed upon its belly to make a post.
Consumerist to be Saved
By 6.12.06
Good news. We’ve just received word from our tech team that a fix is in the works. All these problems with comments, headlines, URLs, RSS feeds, will magically evaporate. Soon. Not sure when, probably everything should be good by next week.
HOWTO: Comment on The Consumerist
By 6.9.06
New world order. Comments are messed up. There will be a new link in posts from yesterday going forward. It sits at the bottom left of the post. Click on it to make a comment. If you’re not logged in, you need to login, then go back and click the new comment link again. Sorry for the inconvenience, this should only be temporary.
Comments Really Screwy Right Now
By 6.8.06
Um so when you click the comments on The Consumerist, it’s going to one of the post’s tags. We’ve told the tech team. So what you should do instead is save that witty banter into a text file. Tweak it. Edit it. Make it super incisive. Make it drip with acid. Pour the acid into a milk bottle and break it all over our servers. Maybe that will jar them into behaving. We’ll get better soon. Gawd, they don’t call us festering sore of the Gawker Media Network for nothing.
Monday Morning Tips Reminder
Forget not, we thrive on your spillings of fears and finds. Without them, we begin to fade like Marty McFly after it looked likely he would end up schtupping his own mother. To avoid this calamity, send in your links to relevant blogs you think we might like, your personal true horror/heaven stories of business dealings, rants, kvetches, we want them all. We feed upon them, digest them and often regurgitate for everyone to see and enjoy. Just drop them in our tip box.
