[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. ;-)

Naturally, FR has contributed greatly to my loss of interest in reading.Yeah, there is no reading going on here.
But seriously, I know what you mean. Same thing happening to me.

It's all one forum again, if you click Browse All at the top of the forums list. Then save that in your Favorites, and you'll always come back to the whole forum again. :)

Hey that is a nice hex chart. I wish all of FR had a nice light grey background like they have on that page (without the grid). But I know there would be mutiny.
But oh, how nice it would be on our eyes...

No browse.rss when browsing the whole focus forum? (I doubt you wanted someone to notice.)

Love the spell check. It's things like this that make this forum stand several heads and shoulders above Discus run operations.
Kudos.
To: John Robinson
I tried the spell checker. Nice.
How about a GMT option for time zone?
To: John Robinson
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! Now this is what I'm talking about! THANKEE JR!

I like all the new changes that I've tried; especially the search, and even the new colors. Spell check on replies is really great.

John,
I would like to suggest adding button to link directly to my bookmarked items. It's possible I am doing it wrong and the hard way, but as best as I can find, it's about a 5 step process to get to one's bookmarks.
Thanks.
