[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. ;-)

That rascally checker has a voracious appetite for symbolic character entities. I believe I have placated the beast... shhhh... or you'll wake it...

It was the ampersand. To get technical, I forgot # is a comment character within a regex when under the influence of Perl's /x modifier.
m{ <\w+[^>]+> | &\#\d+; | &\w+; }x
(Yes, that actually means something. It returns true if the target string contains anything resembling HTML.)

Looks good. And the links are working.
(Now if someone can tell a code challenged person like me how I can use HTML and yet keep links separate and workable, I'll buy them a hamburger next Tuesday....)

You were faster than my last post. Is that the equation for a time machine?

Pretty much. I've set aside my next generation package for the time being, I have a lot of other demands that need to be met. I'm doing a bunch of little FR things that have been nagging at me, or porting stuff from my NG project, to gear up for some upcoming major work inside FR's guts. I consider today a warm up exercise.
Hopefully the code I set aside won't catch a case of bitrot while I'm busy with FR, because it really has some neat ideas, as far as a web framework goes. Separation of concerns using a Model-View-Controller structure coupled w/a UML Statechart-based UI. Just map out the application behavior in your fav. UML tool that can export XML, write up a domain class if necessary, add HTML templates, and presto-application.

I want to thank you for spending a day here...with the 'troops', so to speak. Your time must be 'crunched' most days.....so this was VERY good of you!
P.S. My ISP STILL doesn't accept notices re: my monthly donation. I've given up!

Yikes, a flaky cable modem? Who's your ISP (and if it's not the local cable company, who's the cable company?)?

I think it's safe to say that I don't understand ANYTHING in this paragraph! ;-(
