We just released a batch of bug fixes this afternoon.
When you update your website on your profile page, the change now takes effect.
Suggestion totals are more accurate and perhaps completely accurate.
Some posts with special characters in the title were triggering 404 errors when trying to view them. This has been fixed.
The "infinite scroll" wasn't triggering new items on iphones and ipads. This is fixed, although not perfect.
Whenever you had "comments after me on a response to a post" checked in your notifications, you would get multiple, near duplicate notifications if you had more than one comment underneath that response (one for each comment you left). This has now been fixed to only trigger off of the latest comment that you left.
Thanks for all your help with reporting these and for your patience while we get them sorted out!

Sorry, but the website issue only appears to be fixed.
In fact, the changes one makes to the Settings, Profile page are only saved until one updates information. Entering a website in the Website field does display it as a URL on the profile BUT [i]when you re-enter Settings, the field is blank[/u] and if you make any other changes and save them, the website disappears. In other words, you have to re-enter the website every time you make updates to the page.
Another issue with the Settings, Profile page is that, whatever date is entered for the Date of Birth, the next time you enter the page, the day field shows one less than the last time. Repeated opening/saving of that page makes me a day older every time!

May I suggest that the bugs associated with formatting posts (Bold, Italic, Underline) should have the HIGHEST priority. These are things which users encounter on a day to day basis.
1) Highlighting text to be formatted and pressing one of the buttons does not work. The open and close codes are entered at the [i][/i]beginning of the highlight, not around it. (See the word 'beginning' in the previous sentence.)
2) Nested formatting codes, even when entered correctly, do not work and are even changed when the text is posted. When I enter [ u ][ i ] ... [ /i ][ /u ], it changes to become [ u ][ i ] ... [ /u ][ /u ] (see line 3, 2nd paragraph in the response above).
3) Formatting codes are introducing a space character and the underline is extending past the text selected. Examples (codes are inside the quotation marks): "some text", "some text", "some text"

@PhredWreck Perhaps it's browser specific. I'm using Firefox 21.0. I haven't tried it using any other browser as yet.

... with a red message at the top "An error occurred. Try refreshing." (which pays no attention when I do).
