Scratchpads have been separated from user homenodes, in a flurry of patch-applying this morning.

Each user gets their own "users' scratchpad" as a separate page. This will be created for you as soon as you attempt to edit your old scratchpad, or someone links to your scratchpad.

To find someones scratchpad, you can now either go to their homenode, and click on the "View" link, or type in the search box eg: "castaway's scratchpad", which will take you directly there, OR keep on using the scratch pad viewer, which still works, but should be considered obsolete.

There are still links from users homenodes to their scratchpads, which should all hopefully work as expected. Also using the pad:// link also works as expected.

Writers of PM clients have to do the biggest change. Scratchpad contents should no longer be fetched from users homenodes, but instead from "user's scratchpad" as above. The XML view should produce something useful.

Any complaints, praises, ideas, postcards, money etc. pp. to me.
