Simon Scarfe asked a question in Huffduffer on October 27, 2008 17:27:

How do I know when someone comments on my Huffed stuff?

From a brief look around the Huffduff UI, the only way I can tell that someone's commented on something that I've submitted is through each individual posting, the home page and the catch-all /comments page. Only the inidividual posting relate at all to me.

Ideally, I'd like an RSS feed that tracks stuff I've submitted and stuff that I've commented on (although just stuff I've submitted would be a good start). Am I missing something really obvious here? (note: this is likely).

This seems to have been fixed, possibly by the clocks going back? In which case, I'd assume that it's a timezone issue (I'm UK-based, for the record).

Small time stamp issue

I just huffduffed a file using the bookmarklet, and then checked to see whether it had been submitted to the site (I'm paranoid like that), it said (about a minute after posting) that the track was "Huffduffed by you one hour ago".

Not a huge issue, but one day I might need huffduffer to form an alibi. You wouldn't want to send an innocent man to jail, would you?!

Thanks, I swear that that button wasn't there on the pages of books that I've read yesterday though! (nb. I might, however, be a moron).

How do I delete / unread a book?

how do I delete / unread a book? I've imported a load from librarything, and it's marking some of my books as "read", when I haven't read them.

Searching a bit deeper, it doesn't seem obvious how you would delete a book at all, makes me wonder how easy it would be to accidentally add something and for it to be there forever.

Come to think of it, such functionality could be used for nasty purposes. I could "accidentally" add "Gambling addiction and you" to someone I secretly hate's profile (hypothetically, of course. I love everyone) and it would be there forever.

Feature request: Gravatars

I manage my online profile pics through Gravatar, any chance of implementing this as an alternative to uploading the same image again and again?

In my experience it's dead easy, and makes a brilliant default image.

Simon Scarfe reported a problem in Readernaut on September 29, 2008 13:11:

when a book lacks a cover, it's not easy to tell which is which without hovering.

On the profile page, I have a couple of books that currently lack covers. These aren't instantly easy to recognise.

I think that simply making the current image a background image and having the text in front would make this a lot more obvious.

Librarything Import : reviews are exported and could be imported as notes.

I didn't really know whether this was a "problem" or an oversight, but when you do a Librarything export, Column K is 'REVIEW' (as given by the user) and could easily be imported as a note. This would easily add a whole lot of value to the content to Readernaut.

I really like this idea, it could also be propogated on things like forums, facebook, and the like.

That's pretty much how I discovered last.fm back in the day.
