URL field added to comments.
Some more large avatars.
Added previous and next image viewing in photo albums to save going back and forth to the index.
Behaviour modification on the side menu. Previously menu blocks would be made visible if you clicked on them, and made invisible if you clicked them again. (The default state of some of the items is invisible to avoid cluttering the page.)
- Now the menu block will unconditionally open if you mouse over it, and only toggle state if you click on it. This is all because auto-discovery of the dynamic menus was pretty low. Visitors just thought there weren't any recent comments, forum categories, whatever.
Investigations into Atom-thread support. It's not too difficult, probably about an hour of work. But I'll wait for it to be blessed by the internet council of elders. I'm a bit critical of the implementation, but I've been around this game long enough to know that you don't always get a clean spec. The most you can ask for is something that's technically capable of doing the things you need it to do, and that you don't have to re-arrange your entire data structure in order to implement.
Added a very basic private messaging capability. I mean besides the anonymous email gateway, which I had already - and the adult version of private messaging; which I don't have enabled on this particular site. I think I'll turn off the anonymous email gateway since I was mostly using that as a fill-in until I created a private messaging capability.
But be warned - this is not yet a feature-rich messaging system. Right now it just consists of the pure basics. Send a message, view messages. I've got a lot more work to do on it.
The growth-decay formulas were developed in the trivial fashion by
Isaac Newton's famous brother Phigg. His idea was to provide an equation
that would describe a quantity that would dwindle and dwindle, but never
quite reach zero. Historically, he was merely trying to work out his
mortgage. Another versatile equation also emerged, one which would define
a function that would continue to grow, but never reach unity. This equation
can be applied to charging capacitors, over-damped springs, and the human
race in general.
