Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.
Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!
If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.

Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.
To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.

Mike, why exactly did you put this line in your javascript: var returnColour = “#ffffff”; if(colour != “” && colour != “transparent”)? I was curious because when trying to apply a transparent PNG background this function makes all curves come out white, rather than transparent like I intended. I commented parts of that line out so that it wouldn’t replace transparent PNGs with the color white anymore, now it works perfectly. I was just curious why you made that coding decision?

I think Its there so the function returns something in all cases. Perhaps I made a mistake. I will consider removing it to fix the transparency. Thanks for noticing!

I did notice that the curves stop displaying in IE6 when applying a transparent PNG background after my change to the code. I do realize that transparent backgrounds don’t work in IE6 by default, but even after using Dean Edwards’ javascript library IE7 that forces IE6 to behave like a standards compliant browser, it still didn’t work. My point is, maybe that is why you included that function, because of IE’s failure to recognize transparent PNG bgs? I will state this, after altering the script it works perfectly in Firefox, but isn’t that always the case
Regradless, I enjoy this adaptation of the curvy Corners script, it seems very popular. Keep up the good work.

Non related question: Why did you disable focus for your form field? The real question has to do with printing pages that have the Curvy Corners plugin. How can I get the bars and corners to NOT print. Lemme know.

@Mark – thanks! Perhaps it was, I really can’t remember. Maybe I should comment more lol
@David – Tricky. If your using autopad you could modify the plugin to add a class to the autopad div, then in the print stylesheet make all the divs in the curvy corner div hidden with display:none except for the autopad.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but then I am creating a “branch” off of trunk. Wanted to keep it as is. Hmmm. Thanks.

Using the latest version (1.5). When the element that gets the corner has a border color of say “red” it fails in IE. The border color must always be of the format #[0-9]{6}, so instead of “red”, use “#ff0000″.
