With some added javascript the page will now highlight the note for the user in an effort to direct their attention to the specific note they were looking for (or possibly where they were being directed to).+    * For example, visiting direct link to one of the notes such as [[http://php.net/strstr#107588]] causes the anchor to direct the UA to the part of the page that contains this note ID.

 +    * User notes now also provide a timestamp in relative date format (e.g. "1 month ago", "2 years ago", "4 days ago", etc...) instead of a formated date timestamp (e.g "2012-09-05").
     * Now, usernotes also helps make the experience of using its features easier to navigate with javascript in the cases of voting, and flagging user notes. The user does not have to leave the page to do so as long as they have javascript enabled. The functionality also degrades gracefully in the event javascript is not enabled on the client side. The next step will be to make adding notes also possible without leaving the page in the near future.     * Now, usernotes also helps make the experience of using its features easier to navigate with javascript in the cases of voting, and flagging user notes.

 Some of the current faced involve the decentralized manner in which the usernotes system is implemented in order to be distributed to the mirrors without requiring each mirror to retian it's own database and without centralizing a database that integrates into all of the mirrors. Since the entire notes system is primarily file-based and remotely synchronized there's no easy solution to authentication. The best proposed solution so far is OAuth 2.0, which can work, but might still require some centralized database in order to prevent some potential misuse such as the //confused deputy problem//. Some of the current faced involve the decentralized manner in which the usernotes system is implemented in order to be distributed to the mirrors without requiring each mirror to retian it's own database and without centralizing a database that integrates into all of the mirrors.
