  Bug fixes/updates of Interest

  Some fixes, some updates:
  
  Person pages should have titles now, instead of the generic "TV.com" title.
  
  Unchecked "Never Aired" box is the default setting now. This should cut back in the amount of problems we've been having with new episode airdates until a more permanent solution can be pushed. Please report any problems with this.
  
  The Import Cast/Crew feature is still being worked on.
  
  We're aware that the top contributors module is missing from all showspaces now. We're working to get that back ASAP so please be patient.

  Our story so far...

  I've been neglecting my blog for way too long and for that I have to apologize to everyone's who's been tracking me. It's been an interesting (and busy!) summer, and while the site is winding up for the new fall season, I thought I'd take a moment to give a rundown on the summer so far.
  
  - jaxiecracks has moved on to different things, and while I'm sad to see her go, I'm very glad to welcome etong87 to the TV.com family. She's been settling in and she's working awesomely so far. So if you haven't welcomed her yet, please do so.
  
  - I went to Comic-Con for the first time in July! It was an overwhelming experience and pictures and details from that are forthcoming.
  
  - Work on the site continues. We had bugs, we're in the middle of fixing bugs. The so called "question-mark" bug has finally been fixed, which means you can now use special characters on the site again and they won't display as question-marks in diamonds.
  
  - We'd fixed the reordering cast and crew on episodes bug, but that inadvertently caused something else to break. Unfortunately, importing cast is now defaulting to importing crew instead. I'm assured by our dev team that this is being worked on and should be fixed shortly.
  
  - Community Spotlight displays now!
  
  - Small tweaks like better display of our news content on the front page and better display of cast/crew lists.
  
  - And finally, we're ramping up for the new fall season. The Emmys are coming up, which will be exciting. Don't forget to check out and enter the Best Seat in the House contest for a chance to win a trip to this year's ceremony.

  On TV.com

  If you haven't already, please take a look at Jaxiecracks' latest blog. She has very eloquently expressed the community team's take on the changes to the site, and I'm in complete agreement. It's difficult to express all we can say in a public place, of course, but overall I'm still optimistic for the future of the site and for the future of the community on this site. Ultimately, the aim (as is the aim of any website) is to make the site's userbase grow, and to do so without alienating the current users. The latter is significantly more difficult than the former.
  
  That said, please please please keep sharing feedback, keep making your voices heard, keep posting your blogs and your comments and your forum posts. It's the main way we have of showing the management how passionate our community is about this site, how much YOU care for the site and for its future. Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.
