Oddblogwherein Iain Lamb and Ethan Diamond prattle on incessantly about all things Oddpost(Untitled)- June 26, 2002 If you drag and dropped a folder onto one of its subfolders, both folders would disappear and your account would be mucked up to the point where we had to bring in the Cleaner. If you drag and dropped a folder onto its parent, you'd get an error message. If you drag and dropped a folder onto your address book or outbox, you'd get the same error message. Now why anybody would ever do any of these things is beyond us, but it's all fixed up now. As you were.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/26.html#a12 (Untitled)- June 25, 2002 Under unrelenting pressure from our new subscribers across the pond, the "View Map" feature now supports UK addresses. That is, you can now enter someone's physical address into the contact editor and Oddpost will display a map to their address, regardless of whether the someone in question is a yank or le rosbif. Thanks to Jon Jenkins for pointing us to streetmap.co.uk!http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/25.html#a11 (Untitled)- June 24, 2002 We were in Britain's Sunday Times. If you happen to be a Times subscriber, the article is here. For everybody else, it was in a technical Q&A section and went like this:Question:I am fed up with Hotmail. Can you recommend a webmail system that offers the ease of operation of the dial-up service Outlook ExpressAnswer:I like the new 'access anywhere' online e-mail service at www.oddpost.com. It looks and feels similar to Outlook Express, down to the Views layout and Menu bar. It is..http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/24.html#a10 (Untitled)- June 22, 2002 Look at this. Everybody here has 500 business cards. Five hundred. What are we going to do with all of these Hmmm...how about GIVE THEM AWAY! That's right, we've gone COMPLETELY INSANE and will send a collectible Oddpost business card (from the engineer of your choice) to ANYBODY WHO ASKS. Just send a SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope to those who did not watch Zoom as children) to this address and camp out by your mailbox. You will not be disappointed!http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/21.html#a9 (Untitled)- June 13, 2002 I hope you're sitting down. By popular demand, we have added address book import. Now up! Dance for us! Dance! Be seated. Look for "Import Address Book" in the File menu. We support the CSV (comma separated values) format, and have tested against Outlook, Outlook Express and Yahoo CSV files. Other CSVs should work, but Palm's CSV is not supported because they chose to NOT FOLLOW THE RULES. If you must import a Palm address book, use their vCard format to get it into Outlook, then export CSV...http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/12.html#a8 (Untitled)- June 5, 2002 Enabling auto-login from many systems was causing two, 2, too many Oddpost windows to open. Many of you told us that this was "annoying." Thanks to that feedback, we were able to track this one down today. Unfortunately, another auto-login bug has taken its place. It appears that from other systems, auto-login can now not be turned on because "browser security settings prohibit it." Then reports trickled from people who were still getting multiple windows opening. Computers bring us our...http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/04.html#a7 (Untitled)- June 4, 2002 One of our subscribers recently requested that we display the target of all links as a rollover tooltip, so that he could avoid links that would open in the Oddpost window and destroy his mail session. It is a testament to our brilliance that we ignored this request to treat a symptom, and chose instead to treat the disease. Yes, today we fixed the bug that was causing some hyperlinks to open in the Oddpost window rather than their own.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/06/04.html#a6 |
