[history]
Terse report for now:
- NEW By popular demand Browse All Forums (Search is on the todo list.)
- FIXED The pager now alerts on new comments to you in any forum (it used to only alert for the News/Activism forum.)
- CHANGED General Interest now General Interest (Chat).
- I added color to the sidebar, tell me (politely!) what you think.
- Lots of misc. things under the hood.
There are a bunch of add'l changes/additions I'd like to make, and this is probably not the last update today. I'll update this thread if so.
Update #1
- You can choose your own color for each topic subscribed in your sidebar. See the subscriptions gadget (All but blue is probably dog ugly. Feel free to suggest new color schemes in standard web hexadecimal (one color for the background of the title the other for the background of the links)
Update #2
- A few trivial changes, mostly cosmetic.
- You can now search by time or relevance from the latest posts. And it remembers what your last search was and defaults to that. So NOW order by time can be your default search setting.
- Oh yeah, almost forgot, SPELL CHECK! (replies for now, articles will come later.)
Update #3
- New Posts to You from You has been vanquished. New posts will only alert when other people ping you.
- Playing with the position of the Spell check button. Sorry.
- Your personal menu has a new small treat inside.
- Fixed a couple bugs dealing with the spell check code.
- I'm not done yet.
Update #4:
- Okay, I have stopped dorking with the link colors. Back to the defaults they go. Thanks for baring my experiment, I figure it's the least you owe for All Forum posts. ;-)

The Spelling Cheque:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar writ
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
Works great! Actually the spell check is a great knew feature! Thanks! ;-)

THIS IS A TEST
to see if the following line
is bolded in blue and size +5 from html coding: FONT SIZE="+5" inside the usual angled brackets.
or is the size option still broken for me?
Hmmmmmm. Seems like the size change option is still disabled for me as an html coding option. It's been a long time since they worked. Did I really annoy THAT much!
SURE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WONDERFUL WORK, JOHN. And the spell checker is fantastic to have available. Big thanks.

Looks big and blue to me.
To: John Robinson
How about an option where you pick the color for "No color"? :) I can live with the gray but I liked it the way it was before. I like all the other new stuff though so far.

LOL Ancient Chinese secret.
I forged that.
There is something similar for every user, but we don't make that public. Someone might not want everyone else to know how much, or how little, they have posted.

Outstanding work on the forgery. 'Tis a good policy to keep the real thing private.
