Code update

[mark]

Code was just updated. In particular, this update brings the alpha version (first release) of the crossposter tool. This release also brings a change to the way we do adult content to bring it more in line with our goals for the site. More information on the adult content change.

Please keep in mind that this is Closed Beta. As such, we're iterating quickly, and releasing early. There will be bugs, that's a promise.

Please let us know what issues you find so we can fix them up!

Possibly this is Working As Intended, but it seems odd to me that the crossposter tool strips out all LJ-specific formatting codes, even ones that are using valid syntax for the site being crossposted to (e.g., cut tags in the form of <lj-cut>).

Less unexpectedly, this applies to usernames also, even when using the <lj user="x" site="y"> format where y matches the site being crossposted to. If that kind of smart crossposting isn't part of the plan for current crossposter tool functionality (and I have no idea how much work it would be or if there'd be any interest in it beyond my own) that's cool.

I was just about to comment on this. < lj user=user site=site.com > works when manually crossposting, so I'd hoped it would work with auto-crossposting as well.

this was my question too.

The plan is that we'll get the generic crosspost working first, then add in more site-specific functionality. My guess is that lj-cuts would come before, say, <user name="x" site="y"> tags.
