Re: The Inception of the Edge

Re: Edge/IJDb/names. All fair enough, I was just curious, not trying to suggest a direction.

Invitations.... worked. (Perhaps a default text could be offered at some point?) Will the Edge remain invitation-only after testing is over? That's the impression I get.

You are correct about the data fields in the profile. (I was going to ask what I had done wrong with the {a} tags[1] I'd used in mine, but you seem to have fixed that). This will become easier when there is a 'buttons' provision for making links etc, so cool.

You didn't reply to my points about Events, but I suppose I stop pre-empting your directions, and start post-empting them instead.

[1] I think some smarter html stripping is required, since it seems that the use of the less-than symbol is completely prohibited. e.g. In a post about site swap theory, someone might want to write something like ".... is a valid option for any period [less than] 10, and since 6 [less than] 10, it follows that......", which if typed in full would currently result in the error message "This message contains the following misplaced tags:".[2]
[2] Yep, that's pretty picky, but it's the sort of thing that would annoy me. And you did specify in my invitation that you wanted me here for my pedantry. :-)
