New look and a few new features

We've been busy for the past few weeks!

The first thing that you'll probably notice is the nice new look. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I think the new look is much cleaner, easier to read and just looks better. I'm going to continue to refine the look of other things on the site, so our work here isn't done.

You Internet Explorer users out there will probably notice that it looks much better for you too. I've been focusing on Firefox up until now, but now things should be much better in IE.

I've also added a few features.
  • The dates that are shown are much friendlier now too. Instead of something like "Posted Tue Oct 30 09:10:21 EDT 2007" you'll now see "Posted 3 days, 5 hours ago".
  • Double submits - now if you submit a link that has already been submitted, you will be warned before submitting it. That way we can avoid double posting an article, which has happened a couple of times before.
  • Links open in new windows. Links to new articles now open in a new window. You can change it back to opening in the same window by changing the setting in your account settings page.

There will be more new features coming soon...
