Update Complete - Problems Remain

I have completed the update to Movable Type 4.1, but I'm having some problems. Comment pop-up boxes no longer work. (The trackback pop-up is still working, though.) You can still comment by going to the individual entry and using the comment form there.

Also, I had to take down my blogroll because the MT-Blogroll plugin I was using is not compatible with MT 4.1. I will either have to go back to using Blogrolling.com or I will have to hard code the blogroll into the template.

I will work with the pop-up boxes and blogroll tomorrow...it's late and I'm too tired to figure it out tonight.

The new version of MT is really, really different. I'm still trying to learn my way around it. I can see that I'm going to need to update my templates and web design to use the features offered by MT. I will probably do this in the next couple of months. I may end up redesigning some of the skins and getting rid of others. A lot of that stuff is outdated now.

If you're inclined, please post a comment so that at least I know this thing is working somewhat.

Update (10:50pm): I had to get rid of the pop-up boxes altogether, so now the comment and trackback links will take you to those respective areas in the individual entry. I still need to work on the blogroll.

Just testing my own comments...

Waving from Ohio where spring has finally arrived.

Yes you can, Dan...thanks! :-)

Hi Barb...it's great to see you around again! :-) Spring has arrived here as well. The weather has been beautiful. With the exception of yesterday, which was a little chilly, the temperatures have been just right.

Great, another reason to postpone upgrading MT. (I'm still running 3.21, and my templates were adapted from 2.x versions. I am not giving up my popup box without a fight.)

Hi Charles,

The popup boxes are convenient...I miss them. The new template system is totally confusing. And bringing up the "dashboard" is usually very slow for some reason. I'm sure I'll like the new version better when I get used to it, learn about how the templates work and find out why it's running so slow.
