Author Formatting bug fixed

We've fixed a long-standing bug for formattting author names when the author's first name doesn't match the first initial e.g., "A Brian Jones". See http://www.citeulike.org/howto?show=sec4-1

Update: We've fixed a long standing bug so that "A Brian Jones" (or "Jones, A Brian") will now get the initial in the right order (AB, not BA)

We have added a new article summary page which shows article metadatas along with a list of who has posted the article and any notes that they have made.

The canonical URL is

    http://www.citeulike.org/article-posts/<article-id>

In time, we'll change URLs like

    http://www.citeulike.org/article/<article-id>

to redirect to the new URL.

A good example of the new page is this:

Support Emails and Spam

All of our support email address are now so compromised by spam that we think we may be missing some genuine ones. We normally reply to all emails promptly so if you haven't received an response to an email you've sent, please resend it to a temporary one we've set up - "support09@...".

We're going to introduce a web-form for contacting us in the near future. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Firefox 2 problems

We've just found out that some features of CiteULike don't work with Firefox 2. We have no quick fix for this (there's a bug in a 3rd party JavaScript library), so if it affects how you use our site, all we can suggest is to upgrade to Firefox 3 or use a different browser.

Most things do work fine, however, but there's a cool new feature we're putting up in the next few days that won't work.

Trial of new menus

We'll be changing the navigation "menus" tomorrow morning (UK time). The old navigation was generally thought to be confusing and the source of many complaints - we hope you'll agree this is an improvement.

Please let us know what you think. If everything goes well and we don't get any death-threats, we'll leave them on permanently.

Problems adding "Post to CiteULike" bookmarklet for Internet Explorer

We've just found out that our instructions for adding the bookmarklet don't work properly for Internet Explorer any more. We've updated the instructions.

Apologies to anyone who's had problems with this.

Please note that the bookmarklet still works fine, so anyone who already has it shouldn't need to do anything.
