Bug fixes

Another bug: The meta-description box under "Edit my profile" doesn't allow any text entry, at least in Firefox 1.5.

Can't even get a cursor into the field. I'm on WinXP. IE6 works fine.

That is going to be an expensive dinner for you, Dan. With a 450$ ticket to New York to eat at a McDonalds! :)

I am using Mozilla on a PC, and haven't had text input problems. My profile stats are all wrong, but I suspect that is a backend not a browser thang.

Uh, well we know the thing about me not being at Chris' Elevator Speech gig, but biznik thought I was. Then there's the matter of (at least) four of the folks that I've invited to become Members, have, yet my stats show one. I made one referral and received one testimonial, which I think somehow became a referral in my stats (and the weirdest thing is that now I cannot find any of the email about that, even though I had to approve it or some such). :-?

Dan,

You could give Q ( http://www.kberg.ch/q/ ) a shot. It's a nice OS X GUI for a nifty program called Qemu. There aren't many reports of success at virtualizing Windows XP on the Intel Macs, though.

Alternatively, I'm willing to wager Microsoft updates Virtual PC to run natively on Apple's Intel boxes and that VMware will finally bring their software to OS X.

A last note: You can't, as far as I understand, boot Windows XP natively on the Intel Macs. Apple is using something called EFI, an Intel-created replacement to the previous standard: BIOS. Windows XP 32-bit Edition doesn't support EFI, but Vista is apparently going to ship with support for it. And some people claim XP 64-bit Edition supports EFI.

I'll let you mull all of that over and arrive at your own conclusions. ;) Suffice it to say, it shouldn't be very long before what you'd like to do is possible.

Thanks for the welcome! I envy those of you on the coasts... something tells me it'll be a while before any events start cropping up in the upper midwest.

arGH. I never got back to chat with you on this.

The missing testimonial--turns out that was someone mis-understanding what a referral is--human glitch.

About inviting new members. If those metrics matter to you, then something in the system needs tweaking so more accurate stats emerge. I'm not whining, just that I know 4 of my invited peeps became members and your stats show only 1. I'd guess that you do have some interest (if not now, at some point) in tracking the source of new members. Maybe you've got something up your sleeve to help members keep track of invitations? I've lost track of who else I have invited; I don't want to pummel folks with invitations, but I can't remember now if certain folks just haven't stepped up and joined, or if I have neglected to alert them to this swell Biznik society.

How do we get rid of the code showing up in my links-they were fine and then a few days ago code started to flash in after the page view and now the code seems permanent. Did I do this inadvertantly without realizing it or is this a bug?

The option for sending a message to all the people who've RSVP'd to an event is absent from the options list on my event page. Instead, I see the option to send a message to the host, which is me. As much as I like me, I don't really need to send myself a message. Is this a known issue?

Why isn't my event showing up in the list of Seattle events?
