Hi everyone,
Well I have just published a number of major updates to the
forum system. You will not notice it when you are just viewing the system but when you post a new, reply or follow-up you will see differences.
In the posting pages you now have a dynamic preview option and much larger buttons and screen layout. Hope you like it.
There are major difference to the whole back-end of the system and as such please let me know if things do not work as expected - I am really keen to know about not getting email alerts, thread watch alerts and if you just get errors.
These changes are a complete rewrite of the code & database connection logic to bring the
forum software code up to my new development standards. This will provide us with much better scope to adjust and update the
forum system in the future.
Fingers, toes, arms and legs all crossed hoping I git it all right....
David

David,
Many thanks for the change to replies. The larger font is so much easier to see, and suddenly I find I'm not hunched over the keyboard, trying to see what I've typed, or, more correctly, the mistakes I've made.
My posture has improved after only 2 replies!!! LOL
Just tried the Preview, and I like the Return to Edit button too. Though I had no dramas with the old preview system either. One just had to remember to type in any changes, before hitting the Submit button.
Good job I reckon,
Bob.

Bob, Great thanks, glad you like it - Yeah the preview is just more accurate to what will be really displayed once you hit submit and is loaded dynamically without you needing to wait for redraw and scroll down the page.
Have a good one.
