5/22/13 Updates to the website
A lot of the stuff we did last week had to do with back end changes to make future development easier. There's still work to be done on that front - running a web app with 28,000 active contributors a week is challenging. 
Website:
- add a template filter to allow @welcomingcommittee in textfields, should point to the welcoming committee studio instead of user. This is just to make it easier to point people to places like the welcoming committee.
- You should now be able to ‘tab’ to the post button from a comment text field.
- The comment count listed above comment sections should be correct now for comments on user profiles and when taking into account deleted comments. (some counts are still off because I have to run a query on production that I'm waiting to do after deploy).
- You aren't allowed to spam the same comment more than 3 times anymore unless you're commenting on your own gallery, project, or profile.
- Admins can now see a user's email address on the user's profile page.
- Fixed an HTML display issue on the ban appeals page for messages that have been sent to the user and show the full community guidelines on the ban appeals page.
- Update block page text.
- More / updated translations (thanks translators!)
- All translations now appear as options in the menu, even if the translations are not near completion
- Updated 404 page with less than happy Scratch Cat! http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/the_404_page (Thanks, SFollis!)
- Fix for @links on user accounts with -'s in them.
Known issues:
- Updating of account avatars isn't working consistently. We have a plan for a fix in the works, but it won't be ready until next week.
Scratch On!

Complaint: apparently you reduced the character limit for the About Me section—erasing my data in the process. So I had to rewrite it and leave out some parts.
