Just a couple of things I noticed that you’re probably already working on, Dave. (There’s always a few last things.)

[*] Link from forums back to workshop.
[*] Is the writing circle now wide open (usergroup-wise)?  Either way the instructions should probably be changed.

Everything else I’ve looked at works just fine.  Good job!

I haven’t figured out how to put members into more than one group.  Since everyone has to be in the “members” group, the writing circle is now open.  I’fixed the instructions in the category.  Now I have to figure the best way to point comments into the forum.

Thanks!

Actually, to be completely honest, there is one criticism I would make.  Simply put, yes, I know it’s your site and I respect that, having owned a few domains myself.  But short of emergencies on the order of hackers spamming the site with kiddie porn or the server turning into a plasma ball, some small prior notice of major construction might prevent confusion and bewilderment and would be greatly appreciated.

Good point.  Please accept my apologies.  Just so y’all know, I thrive on suggestions that make me a better webmaster.  Notice would have been an excellent idea.  Next time I’ll plan it out and announce it so everyone knows what’s coming.

Another request:  Could we have a link back to the workshop in the EE control panel interface?  If you go to edit a piece, there’s no link there to get back.

Good idea.  Near the top there is a list of links separated by > characters.  I’ve inserted “Litmocracy” as the first one, and it leads back to the home page.

Actually, I’m showing it as still leading to ‘Forum Home’, Dave.

Well there three integrated systems at work now; Forums, Workshop, and Control Panel.  In the control panel, the link to the workshop is the first thing before the > symbols.  In the forum, it’s above that little list, “Go back to the workshop.”  I should make them all work the same way… and I probably will, eventually .

I’ve noticed trackbacks on a couple of my drawings which are just spam for some poker thing. Just a heads-up!
