Thanks Anthony - it's a big task but definitely something to consider, thanks! We're making a long list of stuff that we want to do with the service. Stuff that can be fixed quickly we're just doing on the fly as and when we can, but bigger stuff like this will need some thought on how to make it happen. You might even like to lend us some advice?

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 29, 2008 23:17 to the question "Edit or preview button?" in I So Wish:

This seems to be happening on any copy and paste action - almost like it's adding a blockquote automatically in the editor. Very odd! It's not something we put in on purpose so we'll fix it up once we work out why it's doing this.

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 27, 2008 17:19 to the problem "I don't think the invite friends feature is working." in I So Wish:

This seems to happen on occasion, and I'm not sure why. Not the best, but I'm looking into it!

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 27, 2008 09:25 to the problem "No link from isowish.com to this site..." in I So Wish:

That's done now...

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 24, 2008 12:51 to the praise "You guys are crazy-responsive :-)" in I So Wish:

*blushes* :-)

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 24, 2008 12:51 to the question "my metawish list" in I So Wish:

Great list - thanks both!

I've had exactly the same problem as you Ricky - we're thinking about adding a daily digest but that's a bit tricky to do quickly. And RSS of comments is a must.

Thanks for bearing with us - it's all a bit beta, but I'll make as many of these happen as quickly as possible :-)

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 24, 2008 12:48 to the problem "No link from isowish.com to this site..." in I So Wish:

I've actually done this but not uploaded it for some reason! I'm just going off for some christmas festivities with the family so I'll update as soon as I can! Thanks for letting me know :-)

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 24, 2008 12:47 to the idea "State your location" in I So Wish:

Hi! Great idea - I was thinking the same thing. Some actually involve two locations I've noticed. I'm thinking:

"This wish is about a place"
Drops down a little panel
"Add a place" - By address / Click on a map

Then you could get wishes by location in lots of ways. "Wishes near this one" and so on...

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 23, 2008 10:32 to the problem "Add as friend link doesn't work" in I So Wish:

I'm trying to get to the bottom of this one. It might be fixed now but difficult to tell until a few more people try it. Seems to be some kind of browser problem / cookie / we just launched this website by the seat of our pants glitch.

Thanks for letting me know!

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 15, 2008 11:56 to the problem "Searching is returning an error" in Odadeo:

Yay - looks like the search problems are solved. If you spot any more let me know... thanks for suggesting this feature!

Stef Lewandowski asked a question in Odadeo on December 08, 2008 19:35:

Do you have a suggestion for Tweetlet?

We'd really like to hear your suggestions for Tweetlet. Or problems, things that are wrong, things that are right, anything you think we need to do to make this better!

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 02, 2008 21:57 to the problem "ODADEO is not ready for public users.." in Odadeo:

Hi First Timer, I can certainly appreciate your frustration - I've had this kind of thing happen to me in the past. We've tested the site on lots of different combinations of browsers and operating systems but because we're still in beta there are bound to still be a few problems as we develop and release new things on the site.

What would really help me solve the problem is just a bit of info from you - a time when you tried to log in and it didn't work so I can look at the log files, your browser version (Internet Explorer 6.0 for instance) and what operating system you are using (Eg. Windows XP).

Sorry you've had trouble - we're doing our best to make sure the site works well for everyone.

If you'd like me to turn off the daily updates for you in the mean time please send me an email to stef@odadeo.com and I'll either remove your user or just turn the notifications off - whichever you want.

Sorry for causing you a nuisance,

Stef

Hi Brett. On some profile pages we have some quite complicated stuff going on - Flickr image galleries and so on... sounds like a clash of some kind. Tom and I will take a look.

Thank you - really appreciate your time letting us know!

Stef Lewandowski replied on December 02, 2008 19:49 to the idea "What about Moms?" in Odadeo:

That's a very good point and something I considered at length before launching Odadeo.

As a dad I found that most sites that are about parenting are quite rightly aimed at both moms and dads equally. The trouble is that on some of those sites (which are doing a great job!) there's a tendency for the moms to be noisier and the dads to feel a little sidelined (that's very generalised, I know).

It's not the fault of the moms, nor the sites themselves - it just seems that that happens quite often, and so I thought that building a really great site for dads, with a different way of doing things, and lots of useful web tools would be a good idea.

So we're trying this out with dads in mind right now, but yes you're right: I'm sure there's going to be some great stuff on Odadeo that works for any parent.

We've already built in different profile types into the Odadeo system - moms, kids, grandparents, they're just not live on the site yet!

Maybe you'd like to help us beta test some ideas?

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 28, 2008 14:10 to the problem "text/plain digest email is too plain" in Odadeo:

Hi Jez, we've updated the plain text version now. It's not perfect, as in there are too many linebreaks and some layout problems, but we'll keep tweaking it! Let me know how it's looking on your device and if we can improve it!

Best

Stef

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 28, 2008 08:52 to the problem "add kid confirmation header layout bug" in Odadeo:

Hi Ben, thanks for the really helpful screengrabs. We've replicated the problem and fingers crossed we'll be able to include a fix in our update later today.

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 27, 2008 10:56 to the question "No Odadeo account but still getting spammed daily" in Odadeo:

Hi Jim. Huge apologies. I'll fix this for you right away.

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 26, 2008 18:59 to the problem "text/plain digest email is too plain" in Odadeo:

Thanks Jez. This one's my fault - it took a while to work out how to do HTML and text emails at the same time, and I've not yet updated the system properly.

I'll aim to have this finished for our Friday update - sorry in the mean time and thanks for giving me a nudge to get this fixed.

Stef

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 25, 2008 18:30 to the problem "unable to update my kid's status" in Odadeo:

Hi Ben, We're still trying to get to the bottom of this one for you - thanks for your patience.

Stef Lewandowski replied on November 24, 2008 08:33 to the problem "I deleted my account, but I'm still receiving daily email updates." in Odadeo:

Hi Josh. Wow - that does concern me. I'm on the case right now to get that fixed for you. It sounds like something must have gone slightly wrong when you deleted the account and the email details were retained in our newsletter mailer application. That shouldn't happen and we'll test it fully so that this doesn't affect anyone else.

Thanks for letting us know.
