(By the way, if I'm not mistaken, my Karma dropped exactly 100 points the moment this change rolled out. Possibly a symptom of some counting bug in the new (or old) version?)

Since Yudkowsky's 30-day Karma is currently 6055, and he hasn't posted that much over the last month, the answer must be "all votes on all posts within the past 30 days, regardless of the age of the post or comment".

This doesn't look that useful, I think it should only count votes on recent posts/comments. Also, this measure, if amended this way, looks informative enough to allow an option of viewing a longer list of active contributors, which could be linked to from caption of the sidebar section, like with "recent posts".

Mea culpa. I hastily pushed that commit as there was a broken article on production that needed a hot fix. Embarrassingly, in my haste I deployed before the tests finished. Should be fixed now.

I am glad to see continuing work on the site.

Bug: the "continue this thread" link is not positioned correctly: Firefox 5 screenshot. (Behavior in Chrome 12 was pixel-for-pixel identical.)

It's still there on the About page.

I don't know whether it's got anything to do with the site changes, but LW has become less reliable about opening links. I'm getting those joke error messages relatively often, though I can usually get the link to work on a second try. I just got some sort of proxy error the first time I tried to open recent discussion posts.

CAPTCHAs were broken for the last 24 hours, they should be working now.
