5

<p>yeah im the only one in my hall too.</p>

<p>i can defintely see this thing taking over me life.</p>

6

<p>I'm ridiculously jealous... I <em>heart</em> Pennster....</p>

<p>One of my friends is a PHIN... I'm going to have to find my way out to his house in PA to go spend some time on pennster.... or I could just try to convince him to tell me his Pennkey... hmm.....</p>

<p>um, do a lot of error things show up for anyone trying to do stuff on pennster?</p>

8

<p>If you get an error, email the rescomp people (the address is at the top of the pennster page). This thing is only in it's 2nd year (and the first year for a lot of features, such as the PHINS group) so there are bound to be bugs! Let them know about it and they will certainly fix it fairly quickly :)</p>

<p>I get no errors at all.</p>

10

<p>the threads on pennster are in reverse chronological order
it is really annoying</p>

11

<p>agreed
i still think cc trumps the penn forums thus far in a lot of aspects</p>

12

<p>agreed... and yea, im gettin mad bugs on pennster</p>

13

<p>eh, pennster will get better and better as more and more people sign on and as it gets closer to school.. However, I will always have a soft spot for CC..</p>

<p>Hi -- most of the errors are fixed. Admittedly, we didn't have too much time to test changes/updates to Pennster before the launch date, but I've been fixing errors as they've come up. Please continue to report any bugs and send your suggestions to: <a href="mailto:rescomp@pobox.upenn.edu">rescomp@pobox.upenn.edu</a></p>

<p>pennmike, any chance you can get the threads to display in chronological order instead of the current reverse chronological order?</p>
