Some direct feedback: i almost want to put my AS site on pause until the current state of bugs/issues/unintended features get resolved. Ben has been very helpful of late, for that i am very grateful but..  between multi-portal filtering missing allowing many portals to interact, to photo albums management being dismal, to photo journaling to be unacceptable, to not being able to share images properly, to status updates being forced as private by default, to no items showing in the Summary View, to no status updates showing amongst friends, to forum threads jumping back to page 1, to links not taking me to the correct post in a thread, to email templates showing up empty or missing friend names, to settings not being able to be saved, to the inbox listing an email as coming from the last person who replied rather than from the sender, i could go on, but i think my point is both made and valid..

Just keep in mind that not everyone has the same issues. Ben found several issues on your site that could not be reproduced on any other install. Yes, there is an outstanding issue regarding saving settings that we are still trying to track down, but also we can't reproduce it on all instances.
