Folks, as many of you might have noticed, last night's software upgrade left a few bugs scattered around the Traveler.

Comments
The original features of the recent comments box are being restored. There is some custom code that needs to be updated before it will work with the newer website software. Please bear with us :)
Please keep the "recent comments" bar as it was. That's one of the first places I look.
Thanks,
Jane
Gotta agree with everyone else - I use the recent comments bar religiously - please keep it.
Kurt - one of the problems with that approach is that when someone comments on an article that is several days or even weeks old I'll likely never see it. As much as I like the Traveler I'm not going to scroll through several pages of old articles just to see if there are any new comments.
I agree with the rest. Sometimes a new comment on an old article is the only way I see something I may have missed before.
I'm with the crowd; the recent comments sidebar is a must! I'd love to even see it expanded...going back farther, perhaps!
I'll pile on...
The recent comments sidebar is my most used feature of NPT. I have the blog feed on my Yahoo portal and usually enter NPT via an article rather than the front page. Then I check the sidebar to see if there have been any comments on topics I'm following. I also like seeing who posted, because there are a few posters whose opinions I'll check out regardless of the topic.
And no, Kurt, I'm not missing the Photo of the Week by skipping the front page. I have the PotW feed on my Yahoo too!
Boy, if I knew this was the way to get folks commenting I would have threatened to remove the comment bar long ago! Any other key features you can't do without?
