I'm now in the final testing of the new version, which I will deploy sometime tomorrow morning. There are a lot of changes as mentioned last week, but they are all pretty minor, so this is still a minor release. But there is some cool stuff coming… such as hit notification on your favourite bills, stats on your bill entries/hits, top 10 postal code list, and better forum searching. As per normal, you can check out the what's new tomorrow to see complete details.

Just wondering…wouldn't the top 10 postal code list be the same as the top ten with hits or entries? Where I live, there is a different code just across the street from me. Unless in other places (Sask) more people use the same code? Hmm.
I'll let dr give you the full explanation, but I believe this will work on the first three characters in a postal code.
For example, Saskatoon has S7J, S7K, S7L, etc. On the other hand, S0K covers about a dozen towns and RMs around Saskatoon.
So that large geographical area could concievably have quite a few hits.
You are both close! This will be based on the FSA (first 3 chars) for urban postal codes and the entire postal code (FSA & LDS) for rural areas. So what this will mean is that a rural town can be ahead of some Saskatoon PC's, because as Pooga pointed out, Saskatoon is made up of several FSA's.

I see what probably is a glitch. In the forum, the bill talk link is twice the size of other forums.
Nope, it's that way on purpose so as to separate it from the announcement forum.

Ok, I have looked around and like what I see. Maybe it's because it's the middle of the night for me, but how does one view someone else's stats if they have it checked off?
You can't… yet. :)

Ah! One of those new fangled 'hidden' features that nobody can find! Ooookay!
Really like the PC idea. But my imagination can only go so far. For example, T2P has the most hits in areas starting with "T". I think that "T" is Alberta. Just where the heck in Alberta???
Suggestion for those of us too lazy to pull out our copy of 'Canada's Postal Code Directory Repertoire Des Codes Postaux Au Canada' (everyone has one, right?): Link the codes to Mapquest so we can actually see where the bills are coming from and where they are going. And/or, add a middle column with the actual location name.
And no, I'm not adding it to Bugzilla, I'm working on a whole pile of other stat enhancements right now. :-)
That's a great idea; I'll add it this week and deploy it in 2.1.5, which I hope to have done sometime in the next couple of weeks… depending on when your stat stuff comes my way. :)

I also thought of that. To bad I didn't post it.
FYI Pooga, T2P is all of downtown Calgary, which is where I spend my days slaving over a computer and stacks of paper, which I should be doing now…..
T2A is my House:) I would like the Hit % for denom posted also. Right now there is Denominations, hit %. Not denomination hit, %.. The number of bills hit for a denom/the number of that denom entered.
is this a possible glitch?
I went to my hits page and called up a bill from idjit. then i went to his profile and clicked on his bills entered column and all his bills came up fairly quickly. then i clicked on his hits column and nothing came up. Glitch or not?
I can get Idjits bills entered… Don't know why you can't…
It's fine; you just have to wait a bit since Idjit has a lot of bills.

Yeah. My fault entirely;)>
Has anyone ever notices the [ Help ] at the top right corner of the reply box? It is not clickable (linked) so I'm wondering why its there. I tried to E-mail Dr But it came back from the postmaster.
it worked for me this am wes, i wanted to check the levels and i had no problem.
Ya, the Help link isn't linked right now… it's on my to do list.
