Hi Kimmie, Thanks for listening - I think that will be a great improvement. I see the option to turn off the toolbar on certain blogs is now working, but I'm still seeing issues on certain browsers. I have a ticket open on that. Chris.

The thing is - I don't want readers to see it, because it affects the way my page looks. Every time a reader lands on my site, or clicks an internal link, the whole page gets pushed down 40px or so - I think that looks awful. I spend a lot of time designing my site to look exactly how I want, and I don't like it messed with! :) I've noticed there is an option to turn it off for individual blogs on the Basic Settings page, but it doesn't seem to work - why is that? As for my site not looking like it's made with TypePad - one of the reasons I have a Pro Unlimited account is for precisely that reason. I pay extra so I can have complete control and make by blog look different. This isn't because I want to distance myself from TypePad. Far from it. I love the platform and what it's capable of. It's enabled me to build some great sites over the past six years and I've long been an evangelist for the service. But where I evangelise is my choice... I pay a premium to keep my site clean from advertising or compulsory reader features. That's really important to me. The only things that should be in my templates is stuff I've put there myself. This isn't to say I would never use the toolbar or would always turn it off. I can see its advantages. I just feel strongly I should have the option to decide when that is.

I agree with Motte Brown and Ted Slater. Although I can see this might be a useful tool for some, *I* publish my blog, and I decide what gets displayed on my page. There has to be an option to switch this off, per blog, if you don't want readers to see it. The whole point of paying for a Pro Unlimited account is having complete control over your pages - this toolbar wrecks that. Even if you opt to display it on a blog, I don't think it should roll down every page load. If you click the arrow to collapse it, it should stay collapsed. Have you tried clicking through a picture gallery? Really poor usability, never mind the extra weight of the code already mentioned.

I have the box deselected too - but it is still showing up on my sites. I could just about tolerate it when it stayed up after collapsing, but now it rolls down every time you load a page. This makes flicking through a photo gallery, or paging quickly though individual archives, an incredibly bad experience from a usability point of view. The bar may be useful to some, but I hate having anything that I can't control affecting the design and layout of my pages. I'd like to switch it off for me and my readers. An option that I never see it when browsing other TypePad sites would be good too... Chris.

I've been messing around with search in advanced templates and I got it set up exactly how I wanted pretty quickly. Here's an example results page: http://tinyurl.com/ydhrfht It's very, very fast (though admittedly I've got it on a new weblog with mainly dummy content at the moment). Good job, I think it's fantastic!

I find the toolbar is causing problems for me in IE7 - I've submitted the details in a help ticket.

I'd like: 1. Option for tidy URLs with the .html removed 2. Ability to upload images to specified directory from compose post page 3. Tags 4. Remove 30-day restriction on lastn. You did that one :) Thanks!

Oh yes, one more... When will be able to exclude our own computers from stats? Simple to do and most other stats packages offer that. It's the main reason I've never bothered using TypePad stats.

Just wrote a long post of feedback, hit preview and it disappeared... How irritating. So this is a shorter version. Good Fast, robust, quicker to get to things One-click access to File manager, which I use a lot, is really appreciated File manager displays .inc and .xml files, yes! Preview - you've nailed it What I'd like Drag and drop uploading app for file manager Ability to rename fields on compose page (I don't use Excerpt for excerpts or Keywords for keywords) Subscribe to this entry option for readers so they're notified of new comments (like the WordPress plugin) Overall: Positive so far.
