dburka replied on March 30, 2008 04:43 to the idea "Sharing source code snippets" in Pownce:

It's a cool idea. I've been toying around with the idea of adding a limited set of 'markdown' or a similar mark-up language. That would be a useful one.

dburka replied on March 26, 2008 15:10 to the question "Why do you think pownce is dead today?" in Pownce:

What do you mean by 'dead'?

dburka replied on March 26, 2008 04:23 to the idea "More profile options with a pro account." in Pownce:

Hey. I intentionally did not let people customize the css directly since I heard from many users that they thought this was a bad idea. We're really concerned about Pownce turning into MySpace where every page has different navigation and it's a confusing mess. So, we opted to let people do some customization but within certain limits. Sorry if that's frustrating to you.

dburka replied on March 26, 2008 04:22 to the idea ":focus on Keyboard Navigation" in Pownce:

This is a great idea, which I added to our feature list when you first posted this. Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten. I'll get to it when I get to it, but it'll definitely come out at some point. Cheers!

dburka replied on March 26, 2008 04:21 to the idea "Stylish new looks for Pownce on the Desktop?" in Pownce:

This is something I had originally thought of for the app. Perhaps in a future version. Cheers!

dburka replied on March 18, 2008 23:15 to the question "Friends Order?" in Pownce:

It's ordered randomly on your page. Perhaps this doesn't make a ton of sense when you've got less than 15 friends (or however many we show on one page).

dburka replied on March 18, 2008 16:25 to the question "what are the goals of pownce?" in Pownce:

Again Haleh, can you explain what you mean? Goals as a company, goals for people using the site?

dburka replied on March 18, 2008 16:24 to the question "what is the policy of pownce?" in Pownce:

What do you mean? That's a pretty open-ended question.

dburka replied on March 02, 2008 07:49 to the idea "Add scrolling ("overflow:scroll;") to mobile Pownce's boxes?" in Pownce:

I've updated the textareas on our staging site. Hopefully we'll have the fixed rolled-out in the next 3-7 days. Cheers!

dburka replied on February 23, 2008 19:36 to the idea "Email links/files to non-Pownce members" in Pownce:

Ooooo, we've thought about this and we're seriously thinking about adding this feature. Thanks for the suggestion!

dburka replied on February 23, 2008 19:34 to the question "Uploading photos from iPod Touch" in Pownce:

Hey there. This is a really lame thing about the iPod Touch and the iPhone. You can't select files off of the hard drive in those devices with the current operating system on them. Pretty silly, huh? We're all hoping that when they release the iPhone/iPod SDK software this coming month that this will change. Fingers crossed.

dburka replied on February 21, 2008 17:31 to the problem "problem signing up" in Pownce:

Hey there. There is no confirmation email... once you're signed up, you're just signed up. It's as easy as that.

dburka replied on February 21, 2008 05:06 to the question "How is Pownce hosted?" in Pownce:

Pownce is currently hosted with a bunch of rented servers in a co-location facility in California. We don't really talk about our specific hardware setup, sorry!

dburka replied on February 11, 2008 01:37 to the problem "pro account not activated" in Pownce:

Ergh, I'm really sorry about that Bree. I've gone and upgraded your account manually. We seem to have a hard-to-find bug between Paypal and our database that affects a few people. Anyhow, thanks for your patience and thanks a lot for upgrading to pro! We really really appreciate your support. Daniel

dburka replied on February 09, 2008 20:04 to the question "I can't reply to Pownce messages in the AIR client?" in Pownce:

We accidently introduced a bug a day ago that's causing this. Sorry! We'll have it fixed asap.

dburka replied on January 28, 2008 17:15 to the idea "Your Most Recent Posts?" in Pownce:

Hey, nice idea. The "Show" dropdown actually does have an option for "sent by me" but obviously that wasn't clear enough. Hopefully that works for now until we come up with some better filtering options.

dburka replied on January 24, 2008 16:38 to the question "can an organization join Pownce?" in Pownce:

Absolutely! We'd love to have you.

dburka replied on January 23, 2008 05:28 to the problem "I keep getting redirected back to my page. ?" in Pownce:

Hey there. You need to logout to get the homepage of the site. We figured that once you were logged in, your profile page was your real 'home' on the site. Sorry if that's confusing.

dburka replied on January 23, 2008 04:31 to the problem "pownce is -20 to -50 pixels off to the left always on portable firefox on my eee pc." in Pownce:

That sounds awfully funky. Any chance you can post a screenshot? I've never tested it in Portable Firefox.

dburka replied on January 08, 2008 01:40 to the problem "I'm unable to upload any kind of file through the AIR client." in Pownce:

There's a bug in the AIR client (it might be AIR itself) that the file picker doesn't work quite right. If you drag a file into the file input area in the app it'll work. It just doesn't do anything if you click to browse for the file. Ergh.
