Shacknews Cortex Shouts launches at E7

Thanks to everyone who has tried out our latest addition to Shacknews Cortex. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions/issues we are seeing today:

• Are profile pictures working?
  • Kinda?
  • We may have a caching issue with the pics showing up on feeds.
• Why did we add Cortex and Chatty logos to the top of their pages?
  • It's important that we distinguish user-generated content from Shacknews front page content as our brand grows.
  • We want to view Cortex and Chatty as services provided by Shacknews, kinda like Shackpets.
• It's hard to navigate back to Shacknews.com front page from Chatty now.
  • We have added a link to the Chatty header as a fix.

• Who's Mamoo123?
  • That's my brother. He rules.
