Over Capacity

Looks like the latest round of Beta invites has sent you guys over the edge. Congrats! Sounds like the adoption rate is really high. Time to upgrade.

Ha. Sorry. It's a type term. It just means you need to set the line-height in your CSS to a greater value. The decender in the p is overlapping with the capital S. Minor issue and mostly just irksome for designers that stare at type all day.

Increase thy leading

That is all.

Looks fine to me. You'll get used to it.

Mike Garrett replied on November 20, 2009 01:49 to the problem "Facebook showing wrong photo/info for me" in threadsy:

Well... sorta. It found me and it only pulled in info about me, which is great. That works really well. The downside is there's no way of saying what info should be pulled in and which shouldn't.

For example, in my bio it's pulling in the twitter description from my twitter account where I post my music, one that I don't even associate with threadsy. It's pulling in the image from a twitter account that was associate with where I work instead of my main account. Then it's not pulling in any education info from linkedin (I assume) and it's pulling in wonky mashes of code and text for work.

Apparently I'm "Sleepy's, Dog" or I worked there or something. I don't even know where that came from.

But yea, in conclusion it pulls in only information.

Delay when replying

After the upgrade today (I really like the changes to the UI) everything seems to be moving a little slower (a lot slower), especially the reply-to function. The content takes 1-2 minutes to load in after hitting reply.

It works for me, but I think there's an issue with trying to log into Facebook from 2 different locations, Safari and Fluid.

That definitely make sense. It doesn't seem like there's an easy work-around.

It seems like the only way to fix an issue like that would be to have a view of only unread inbound and another view of read inbound. That would change the way everything is organized.

Email gets delivered late

I've just started noticing this recently. Mass emails don't show up when they get delivered, but show up hours later and way down in the timeline. It's only messages that have been sent to a massive amount of people.

For example, an email from mint.com to the entire user community would NOT get delayed, but a message sent from a record promotions company to their college radio contacts (200+) would get delayed.

I'll try to forward on the next email where this happens.

You all should go vote on this topic: http://getsatisfaction.com/threadsy/t...
It's in support of a desktop app. Let's consolidate our support!

There's already a topic for Facebook Chat. You should go put in your vote over there.

As for page styling, I don't think time should be wasted by the team to come up with a different style, but the existing one could be honed down. Tumblr allows for user-generated styling. Maybe that would be an option?
