Site Enhancements for 1/13/2007

We made a few changes since yesterday. Here's a brief list. Please contact me if any of these are causing problems for you or you don't understand how they work. Thanks...

  • The flyout menu is probably the most obvious (other than any changes that might have been made to the banner since you were last here. If you prefer the old style menu, you can go back to it from the my account>>edit page. Scroll down the page to block configuration. Uncheck Free the Media(Nice Menu) and check Navigation. Use the save button at the bottom of the page. You can also uncheck the various news feed blocks and the one that says syndication. You can change themes here as well, but that can sometimes result in turning things off that were on in the other theme. You can always go back to the original theme here, though, so its okay to play with any of this stuff.
  • The FCKEditor has replaced the standard text box. I'll see if I can upload the documentation, but it's a lot like Word or WordPress. If you want to write in pure HTML, you can press the source button in the upper left corner. Hover over an icon to see a tooltip.
  • When replying to a topic in the forums, you can click on "quote". This will past a copy of the document you are replying to into the edit window. All tags and formatting are preserved.
  • There's now the option to send a private message to anyone. You will see "contact writer" next to the comment or reply link for that. You now have an inbox for private messages as well.

That's all for now, but there's more to come...
