*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

I'm surprised
Normally, when we release new features, someone mentions them here before we even have a chance to make sure they're working (much less post an announcement).
A few days ago I released a feature that's been requested for a long, long time...although I haven't posted an official announcement yet because it's not quite done and is part of a bigger release that's coming soon.
So, either the feature is less of a big deal than I thought, is hidden in a place that no one normally checks, or everyone's been sleeping the last few days.
First one to find it gets a pony...or at the least thanks from everyone else for pointing it out.
P.S. I'm sure you will have questions, but please keep in mind that it's not quite done yet...

Gil: Are you talking about upping the number of characters in the guest book comments area? (I really want that pony...)

Re: I'm surprised
Hmm, still looking. I was hoping it was eBay sales data, but I don't see any.

Re: I'm surprised
Could it be that we can now export ALL our lens earnings, for all our lenses, in one go..?

Re: I'm surprised
Damnation - that is freaking cool! (...well, no pony for me.)
I will admit that I was really hoping it would be the ability to sort the order of the lenses that I have on each lens.

Re: I'm surprised
Funny, I didn't start earning anything until I had been at Squidoo for over a year. I'm trying to think of what happened and I believe it is this -
After being a member of Squidoo for a year (joined March 2006) I realized that I only had a few lenses that were in desperate need of some attention. While sprucing them up I finally ventured over to these wonderful forums and while learning a ton about Squidoo and making new acquaintances I was inspired to create more and more lenses.
It's been a ton of fun ever since!
I love this feature - it's like a walk down memory lane.

Re: I'm surprised
I'm seeing discrepancies between the new reports and what I actually got paid, running between $1-$5. Gil, can you explain what might account for that?

Re: I'm surprised
OK, I just realized that the Cash payout numbers shown on this report are slightly incorrect because they weren't adjusted for the 2% fee paypal charges us. Fixing now.
relache, does that match up with the discrepancy you saw?
