Chris Harrison set one of Chris Harrison's replies as an official response to "Page won't render properly without a title" in PowerServe
Chris Harrison replied on January 28, 2009 20:22 to the problem "Page won't render properly without a title" in PowerServe:

Jason, I didn't get notification of a reply. I apologize for the delay.

We have identified what is causing this rendering quirk for your site... The WSA automatically generates Meta Keywords and Descriptions for each page based on the page title. Because your page titles contain HTML, it is rendering it into the page when it's generated. This is what is causing the page to look weird. We're looking into a permanent fix for the solution.

In the meantime, the workaround is to create a new Title Element on the page, enter your page title text without any HTML, uncheck the boxes next to "Display this element in the search results and hot lists." and "Display this element when displaying content." Make sure the Title Element appears above any preexisting content. Click Save to add it to the page.

Better RSS on skribit.com homepage?
Skribit.com should link to the blog's RSS feed in <head>:
<link href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/skribit" title="Skribit Blog RSS Feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" />

And a RSS icon should be included near where blog titles are displayed on the homepage. (I don't mind having to click through to the blog for this stuff, but whenever you can save a user a click...)

Keep up the awesome work guys!</head>

Jason, can you call me at your earliest convenience? 706.826.1506 x115 We're trying to duplicate the issue. Can you put the page the way it was when you noticed the rendering bug? We've been unable to duplicate the issue in any of the browsers we've tested in.

I was spammed by the same person. I'll take the approach you suggested, but it seems like we ought to be able to report a user in the event they're a spammer....

Kyle Neath's reply to "suggestion: don't send direct message instructions every single time?" was just promoted to the most useful! Chris Harrison and 8 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Yes, PLEASE fix this :( It seems optional (the help text isn't really needed at all, if you turn on SMS, you know how to use twitter) and is making my experience worse. I would estimate about 90% of my direct messages fall into 2 messages due directly to this text. About 30% due just to that damn 'hi' text.

My ideal message would read:

"DM via username: This text can be shortened by a whoping 24 + username length! That's a 17% minimum optimization!"

I use Shelfari which exports books as an XLS file. Fortunately, I didn't have many books in my account (<100>t a big deal to manually add each book, but for users with a larger library, it might be an issue.

Nag me, baby.
I forget to log fill-ups on occasion. It'd be nice if there were any option in 3M to send me an SMS, email, tweet, whatever my preference might be if I don't fill-up within a week's time (or whatever timeframe I set).

Chris Harrison reported a problem in Shelfari on June 04, 2008 12:30:

Login box is broken in FF3!
It's a minor issue, but the login box on the homepage of shelfari.com in FF3 RC1 is extremely wide, making it difficult to enter username and password.
Chris Harrison asked a question in Disqus on June 02, 2008 17:09:

Will there be a data export at some point in the future?
Will there be a data export at some point in the future? I think Disqus shows a lot of promise BUT I'm concerned about a lot of what-ifs, e.g. If Disqus goes belly-up, what happens to the comments made on my blog via Disqus? Can anyone aside from me administer comments made on my blog?
