New features?

[Karson]

Hey Venture - aside from the similar topics being pinned at the bottom of a thread, what other stuff did you do that we might be able to benefit from the past few days. I've noticed a couple things but don't want to miss out if ya did something cool.


Take it easy bud,

Nothing else notable from an end-user perspective. Most of the work has been back-end to keep us up to date and running smoothly. The traffic has been growing, and I've been watching the loads on the server creep up so I upgraded some of the back end components. That allowed me to put the recent topics up at the bottom of each page, since what seems simple adds a lot of load on the server (it's effectively searching all posts now every time a topic is read).

I have a few things you WILL notice in the pipeline, I hope to get them out over the next few weeks.

If there are immediate enhancements you're looking for just call them out and I'll do my best to try and get them up sooner than later.

I was wondering if you removed the Marketplace section from the bottom of the Home page? It's still in the Forums, I was just used to having it up front.
Thanks for maintaining the site!

I put it back. It's not hurting things to have it there.

Thanks for all your work on the forum Chris, it freaking rocks! I'm on some other forums and this is by far one of the best I'm on. Some are painful to use and frustrating to deal with, even if there is good info and people there. ::008::

Love the site and all your hard work Chris.

I do have 1 request.

How about white text in the search window when we type we can see it better.
