Stickier sticky notes

We had some reports that our sticky notes were out of control. That they were wandering off wherever they wanted to be, hanging out with the wrong crowd, and generally being a nuisance to society. Well we had a long, stern talk with them and they should be straightening up and flying right. Now when you place it a note, it takes notice. It will remember where you put it, and it will try its darnedest to get back to where it was when you reload that page. And if it can’t, it’ll politely excuse itself to the margin of the page. How’s that for a paragon of proper page placement?

Hopefully this update makes notes behave closer to what you would expect from their physical analogs. Let us know what you think, love or hate it, so we can keep improving scrible and making it better than ever!

Not so fast, storage quota

A user recently reported to us that they felt their quota was being used too quickly.  We investigated and – lo and behold – it was true.

We had a problem with how the quota usage was calculated, which caused pages saved multiple times to be counted multiple times instead of just once.  This has been fixed now.  So, everyone should have more room to organize their saved pages.

As you can see we really do listen to your feedback!  Please let us know if you see anything you don’t like or if something seems wrong.

Do you speak □□□□□?

One of our users pointed out to us that when he saved a page with traditional Chinese characters in his notes, when he retrieved the page, he got back Mojibake inside the notes instead of comprehensible notes because the characters got turned into garbage like □□□□.

We had recently switched to a new library on our servers which assumed a latin 1 character set instead of UTF-8.  After some remedial language lessons, our system is back to speaking the languages of the world.  If you happen to find someplace where it isn’t working though, please let us know so we can send the system back to a refresher course 😉
