R11b Patch Install Successful

Hi folks -- as mentioned yesterday, the R11b patch fixes were successfully installed last night at around midnight, EDT.

R11b gives us:

Classic Style: The Return of Embedded HTML AOL Pictures Albums
The primary thing you'll notice is that when you embed albums into your blog entries (using AOL Pictures), you have the option of using the old (now "Classic") HTML slideshows, as well as the 6 newer ("Animated") Flash slideshow styles.

Reminder:
* Embedded galleries you created before May 16 reverted back to the Classic style.

* Embedded galleries you created between May 16 and May 31 will stay in the new, Animated style, so if you want the Classic style, you'll need to go back and edit them.

* From now on, when you embed an album, you'll have the choice between Animated and Classic styles.

* When you edit an older entry with an embedded slideshow, if you want to keep the Classic style, make sure the round button style selector says "Classic" before you save your entry.

Other Fixes & Features
The Userplane Web Recorder, which lets you record Webcam video directly to your blog, has been enabled for Journals users in the following locales: FR (France), ES-US (Latino), GB (the United Kingdom), and CA (Canada).

(This feature is not yet available for users in DE -- Germany.)

Comments Enumeration
I mentioned this last week -- comments are now numbered. Also, the number of comments per page has been raised from 20 to 50.

Bug Fixes
Problems fixed include:
* The "pictures picker add via URL Enter key bug": hitting the Enter key will no longer cause an error -- you'll need to click the "Add Image" button from now on, though.
* A bunch of different text fixes (most of them International)
* A client hangingproblem

That's about it. Please play around and let me know if you run into any problems.

Thanks -- Joe
