Bug 4472: Styles: customizing stuff also save blank settings which means later changes aren't applied

Category: Style System
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: if you take a look out of the right window now, you'll see a new style.

Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Suggested by: ciaan

Bug 3877: Edited comment text
Category: Inbox/Notifications
Suggested by: silverflight8
Patch by: swaldman
Description: this was swaldman's first patch - three cheers! It changes the notification in your inbox about edited comments, to make it more obvious that a notification exists for what the comment originally said.

Bug 2595: When posting by email, "-- " should be recognised as a signature seperator.
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Suggested by: swaldman
Patch by: swaldman
Description: A slight change to how Dreamwidth handles email posts, and the signatures at the bottom of them. (I suggest reading the comments on Bugzilla if you fancy a giggle; also, I must confess to being one of those crazy kids who send HTML posts by email...)

Bug 4392: Entry and subject on new update page having a title creates tooltips

Patch by: kaberett
Description: here we take away a couple of annoying tooltips on the update page, leaving behind labels for both visual and non-visual users.

Category: Modernization
Patch by: dunvi

Category: Journal contents
Patch by: fu
Description: in which the valiant Dreamwidth coders attempt, once again, to stop IE misbehaving. We won this battle, and it should no longer 404 when posting using the new update page!

Yay code tour! Editing comments DOUBLEPLUSGOOD. XD

[boundbooks]

Oh heck yes! I love, love, love the ability to edit comments. :D

[larissa]

Oh my god, I am so excited for #4392. It's the little things that drive you up the wall getting fixed that makes this place so fantastic.

[kaberett]

HEE. Thank you!

From the (baby)dev point of view, one of the things that makes this place fantastic is that we're *encouraged* to take on the little things - we're not told NOPE WORK ON THIS HIGH-PRIORITY PROJECT, we get to pick and choose what we want to do according to what we feel like that week (or month!) or whatever :D So YAY FOR PEOPLE LIKING THE PROCESS OF ME LEARNING CODE, basically!

[dunvi]

Soooo not important, but I'd like to point out that I do have a dreamwidth account (even if it is currently completely, utterly empty of readable posts). If there's something I've forgotten to fill out so that people know my accounts are connected, please tell me!

[fu]

We use a script to generate the skeleton of the code tour, and it needs a little help figuring out your username. So switch your username / display name in Bugzilla to this format, and that will fix it for next time!

Display Name Not Necessarily Dunvi [:username]

[katieastrophe]

And for my part, I've edited the post so it links to you :)

[dunvi]

thank you! I fixed my Bugzilla name, for the future.
