In no particular order:

Photo Gallery - describes the former Photo Albums. They are intact, but not yet connected to the new site.
Member Albums - This is what will be done first. Representing a brand-new Member Albums area. I have the software ready to go, but need to cool my brain cells before starting it up.
Product Reviews - Have been retained on the Wiki, new Product Reviews will go into a new feature that will be implemented in roughly a week.
Classifieds - The former Classifieds Forums have been completely removed. While they were part of the migration tests during development I've decided to replace the forums with an application better suited to posting items. This will come in a few days.
Web Links - All Web Links were migrated and are represented in the same structure as they were on the previous site. However, I've got to re-write the code that displayed the thumbnails. For now, they function with many other improvements.

That's the highlights, more to come ...

You may already be working on these Shawn - just a heads up in case.
Not sure where to post these up.

New posts do not seem to take IMG tags -
if using the 'insert image' tool in wysiwyg mode, you can see the image in the text editor field, but when you go to post, it just displays hyperlink instead of image.

Looks like images are not allowed in signature - will this now be the rule, or just for now as the default condition until you get around to it?

Avatars?

Though you answered my question regarding the member albums. I have the orginals on my home PC, but about freaked when I thought I might have to upload all over again! lol

Any plans on a roomier and more permanent PM folder?

So far, looks very good.

Note that you now have the option to download your PM's and save them permanently on your local drive.
See the option directly at the bottom of your PM list

I've changed the formatting on the PM page so that it's easier to use.

I'll check on images in the signature, but you can upload your own avatar now.

DEcosse · 07-15-2007

Aahh - looks like embedded image is now working - good job!
At least for externally hosted images.
However it won't embed the images from the 'attachment' medium.
(like below for instance with the avatar screen attachment - if you wrap image tags around the URL for the attachment to display it full size in thread, it shows in the editor under wysiwyg but in preview & actual post it becomes just a URL)

Still not seeing this option Shawn .......

Awesome on both accounts. I've grown somewhat acustomed to have my PM's last forever on other forums...so as long as I don't reach my limit. This and having my Gmail account now work are big wins!

Uh oh, did we lose the ability to spell check? Oh god, the humanity!

j/k...just picking nits.

No still there - even better!
Check in your editor screen at the top right corner - the 'abc' icon.

Also see this thread for some other new features

About a year ago, I discovered the capability in Firefox. It now can do on-the-fly spellcheck.

However, it is possible to download a small piece of software and utilize the spellcheck Decosse pointed out. It's very nice.

NinjaRAT · 07-15-2007

oh duh...thanks for the clue! I'm feeling better already.

So used to the big ole Spell Check Button, I failed to notice the obvious. Ahhh...the joys of learning curves.

Did I mention, I really like being able to be notified of responses via my gmal account?
