If you're a Supporter, we just launched a new search beta in the supporter forum. This is an opportunity for you to try our new site search and let us know what results you think could have been better, what advanced search options you would like to see or what bugs you find. Meanwhile we'll be keeping an eye on performance and working on the auto-suggestions that will appear as you type.
Last week we experienced a big uptick in marketing spam. As a result we've added more aggressive spam-protection to our blog and forum systems. Please PM me if you make a non-spam post that appears to get auto-deleted. Include the contents of the post if possible, or any URLs you were trying to link to.
Your votes are in and the Best of July have been determined!
