Hi folks,

after heavy testing, i decided to update the forum backbone software
(which is available for free at http://www.w-agora.net/).

I implemented all tweaks for the MLUKFC messageboards [believe me, there's a lot [img]./icons/icon12.gif[/img]] again and I really really hope everything is running fine.

Here's a list of changes:
<ul>[*]Message listing order changed.
Messages with new replies are listed on top now.[*]Smilie handling improved. [img]./icons/icon2.gif[/img][*]Posting preview includes the posting form.[*]After posting, you will be sent back to the message listing.[*]Embedded links open in a new window.[*]Added a drop down box for the message listing timeframe.[/list]Ok, that's it for the good news.
Now take a look at the bad news:<ul>The processing of embedded links has been changed. This means, you cannot include links by typing www.gotothiswebsite.com anymore. You must include the leading <text>http://</text>, <text>ftp://</text> or <text>mailto:</text> protocol tags if you want to use an embedded link in your message. To put this in a nutshell: www.mlukfc.com does not work anymore, use http://www.mlukfc.com instead.

This change does also affect all posted messages so far.
All messages without the protocol tags will not display a link anymore.[/list]
That's all for now, folks.
Happy posting.
