This Thursday January 15, 2009 from 10-11PM CST, the Dell Community site will be down for a service pack upgrade and additional fixes to the site operation. I am pleased to announce a major fix to forums went into effect - fixed the error message some users were experiencing when posting a thread or replying to a thread on our forums. This was a very poor user experience and I apologize. It did not showcase Dell at our best.

Here is the list of the fixes you can expect post 11PM CST:

1. Improved accuracy to Verified Solution Sort
2. Ability to remove friends from your friends list
3. Ability to link directly to blog comments
4. Wiki Tags data will save
5. Tag cloud selection will save
6. Widening of the space between page numbers
7. Check boxes to select tools for refined search
8. Change in size of the left navigation arrows
9. Change open circle bullets to closed circles on the main page and profiles
10. No private groups visible on the left navigation if not a member
11. If a member, the private group will show in your left navigation
12. Friends details will fully show even with multiple lines
13. Profile bar will default to closed
14. Group landing page widgets will order with newest first
15. Blog category list will be left justified rather than centered
16. Ability to delete information in wiki or media within a group
17. “Published in” line will not show on blog posts when you are viewing for the blog it was published in
18. Improved ability to edit profile

As always, let me know if you are experiencing problems with the site (any new issues or any of the 18 fixes above are not working for you).
