I will wrap up the beta and install it this weekend.
What necessary functions are available in the current version of Free Republic's software that are not available in the beta?

I'll go through the database and convert all bumps into indexing into a topic. At least where possible. The main problem being, topics are bound to a forum while the bump lists are bound to no particular forum. If some particular bump list was used in several forums there will need to be a topic for that bump list in each forum. Not a spectacular effect but hopefully most bump lists follow the forum boundries.
One thing I do need from the bump_list participants is an attractive list of topics for each bump list. By that, I mean I need a short name, full title, and description, everything I need to create a topic. A list of topic maintainers would be nice as well (the maintainers would be able to kick out threads that do not belong, etc.)

Good idea. I'll split them out (my original plan.)
To: glock rocks
I probably broke something. It's on the list.
To: Sir Gawain
Good idea. On the list.
To: John Robinson
Don't forget our quick search fields......
To: Dog
I will have some type of migration guide... I HOPE. (It's on the list. Awfully big list I have.)
To: John Robinson
Why doesn't it know I'm logged in? Am I going to have to dig up my password? (I suspect the email account I used to register is long gone.)
To: maxwell
I'll drop the text body size down a notch. Maybe even make it some type of user preference. (IOTL)
To: John Robinson
Shouldnt you be working on that BIG LIST??
Just kidding...

The font on the sidebars(breaking news titles) is hard to read today, very blurry font. Did you change that since yesterday, or am I drinking too early today?
To: Uni-Poster
It's Arial Narrow. It's not working out too well, you're not the first to notice that.
To: John Robinson
The sports topic just started listing them backwards
To: Texaggie79
It may take time to adjust to this, but the topics are not sorted by Thread posting time. They are sorted by the time the thread was added to the topic (which is not necessarily the same time the thread was posted.)
I moved a bunch of sports articles from News to GI. They were all re-indexed into the Sports topic, hence the whacked-looking dates.
To: John Robinson
AAAAHH, so you CAN move threads across............
To: John Robinson
Ahhhhh, ok. Thought I was going nuts.
Other than that, looks great. Like the fact that you can read comments to you without having to go to the thread, saves lots of time.
To: Texaggie79
I just added that function, and used those four threads as a test.
To: John Robinson
nice...
Can mods do this now? I'm tired of arguing with people if where they should have posted it. The mods can just move it if it belongs elsewhere huh?
BTW, I think it needs to be specified if ALL news qualifies for News/Activism or only political related. Some mods have even admitted confusion.
To: John Robinson
Done; thanks very much!
Now, is there some reason why the password mail is sent with the recipient (me) in the "BCC" field, rather than the "TO" field? Many junk-mail filters -- including Hotmail's "low protection" setting -- assume it's spam, if you're only in the BCC field.
