The Quintessence of Ham

Notice any­thing different?

Aside from the addi­tion of “Login” and “Reg­is­ter” links to the upper right cor­ner of the Zotero site, you might not detect many changes. The most vis­i­ble dif­fer­ence is new uni­fied login func­tion­al­ity to sup­port the site’s var­i­ous func­tional mod­ules. Users can also now use an OpenID account to authen­ti­cate with the Zotero site.

Beneath the sur­face, the guts have been been entirely reworked. Zotero’s web appli­ca­tion team, led by Jon Lesser, has cre­ated a stream­lined new archi­tec­ture designed to sup­port the vast array of inno­v­a­tive, web-based func­tion­al­ity that we will begin to roll out to users begin­ning this month. Stay tuned!

  For what­ever it is worth, the new sys­tem seems to have quirks for me.

  On Fire­fox on mul­ti­ple machines, I get A “Welcome|Settings|Logout” mes­sage at the top right, as if I was suc­cess­fully logged in. How­ever, the forums still show “Not signed in (Sign In)” & I am unable to post messages.

  IE-6 does not appear to have this defect, but I am not usu­ally on a sys­tem with IE & the styling of the page in at least this par­tic­u­lar ver­sion of IE leaves a lot to be desired.

  There was a prob­lem related to cook­ies that should be fixed by now. If you still have prob­lems, you can try delet­ing all “zotero” cook­ies from Fire­fox, restart­ing the browser, and try­ing again.
