NickBurrus's Comments on AboutUs.org

NickBurrus (delighted) : Six months...wow. Time flies; I have evolved from trying to figure out what the heck was the edit button or how to make italics in wiki code into a wiki expert with ever going projects. I plan on staying; and wish to say thanks to all those folks at AboutUs!
I rarely support a commercial company, but the philosophy of this company is to die for. Wonderful community, fun times on IRC and via wiki; conference calls that actually MAKE SENSE and is not a turn around table dodging the question. These folks get the work done.
This is amazing; and I respect this. Thanks! 23:39, 20 May 2008 (PDT)

Michael Howe's Comments on AboutUs.org

  • Michael Howe (frustrated) : The Protect Address function isn't working... . It just hides the address on the live page (i.e. a white space) but is still clearly visible and editable in the code. 06:16, 26 October 2008 (PDT)
    • Saad Saeed's reply : Dear Mike, the ProtectEmail works by converting emails into images. Those images are saved as hash keys on the wiki so cannot be salvaged as email addresses. You may see the email address while you preview the page but as soon as it is saved, the email is turned into a hash and displayed as an image. 09:30, 27 October 2008 (PDT)
  • Michael Howe (frustrated) : Why doesn't Google like AboutUs.org!! Most wikipedia articles have a Google page rank of between 5-9 but no AboutUs.org pages aren't ranked!! Will the well deserved page ranks ever come?? 20:14, 25 October 2008 (PDT)
    • Kristina Weis' reply : This has been a bug ever since Google updated PageRank in July of 08. As of last night PageRank toolbars are now showing the PR on AboutUs pages that was there the whole time, and I elaborated more about this in my blog post today. 10 November 2008
