Hi all, I spent today updating our message board software. Now you can reply to the middle of a thread. Some message board software use this approach and some use our old approach. I like this new approach because when you reply to a thread it "feels" like you are replying to the whole thread and someone who posted before you could get hurt feelings because they think you are talking about them. I also enhanced some of the display and formatting. Enjoy!

Okay everybody, I just deployed a new version of your member home page. Select My | My Public Home Page to check it out. I visited other communities and I noticed many of them simply show posts on their home page so I thought that was better than the cluttered options we were showing. So, now your home page lists your most recent content.

Hi all,I just posted a news post about the final decline of Borland Software titled It's Done: Borland is No More. I for one loved working at Borland and thought it was a great fanatical software company in its day with TeamB and dedicated customers., Mike[Borland 1991-1995, ObjectVision, Paradox, SQL Team],

Yesterday I deployed a new menu. The new menu has expanded options on the Community menu and I consolidated all the service and support menus into one I.T. Services menu. I think this strikes a better balance between business website and community website. What do you think? Also, any suggestions on changes?

Today I added a "Random MB Thread" to the main message board menu. This link displays a random message board thread from "all threads". Sometimes I like to review old threads just to keep my knowledge up. During this review process, I sometimes add to the threads, but it's mainly a study tool for me. This compliments our group message board "Random MB Thread" link we added a few months ago. Now you can display a random thread from all groups or from the group you're within. To browse all threads randomly, go to the main message board overview page and select "Random MB Thread":

Should I add the ability to attach a file to a post? Right now you can insert images and code into a post but you cannot attach a file. If I add this, you'll be able to attach a PDF or zip file to any post. Is that a needed or wanted feature?

Happy thanksgiving all!!!

The message boards are up and running on our new server. Enjoy! Our server move is nearly complete. The only two things we have left to do is to move our certificate and turn on our "who's online" scripts.

This month we finally finished up our spend member points features. Now you can earn points for your community participation and then spend them on merchandise in our computer store.

In an effort to make using the Prestwood Programmer Community easier, we've relaxed some of the obsticles. You no longer need to verify your email address prior to replying to a message board thread nor when creating a knowledge base post. You still have to verify your email if you wish to receive our monthly eMag.

I manage a small network for the calibration system in the Canadian Forces.  I have been running this database since 1994 and it's still going strong.  I am now moving from paradox 9 to paradox 12.  We use this program to track approximatly 112,000 general purpose instruments and all the histories for that instrument.  I use this site to mainly browse around.

Hi all,This weekend I deployed a new message board look and I'm interested in your thoughts.

New Overview main page - gives easy access to most popular data (boards, recent threads, and no reply threads).,

No groups on left menu - the left side menu was getting too complex so I removed the links to groups in favor of a list on the overview page. Now you don't have to scroll down to go to your favorite board.,

All Topics (the old main page) is now an option in the left side menu.,

Updated text.

Let me know what you think!

I added a new Onlin

Happy St. Patrick's Day all!

Origin...

From history.com, St. Patrick is believed to have driven the snakes from Ireland. Once a pagan himself, St. Patrick is one of Christianity's most widely known figures.The modern secular holiday is based on the original Christian saint's feast day also thought to be the date of the saint's death. In 1737, Irish immigrants to the United States began observing the holiday publicly in Boston and held the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City in 1766.Today, the tradition continues with people from all walks and heritages by wearing green, eating Irish food, and attending parades. St. Patrick's Day is bursting with folklore; from the shamrock to the leprechaun and to pinching those that are not wearing green.

Today I finished simplifying our website header. What do you think? Is it better?

Specifically...

The top pull-down menu and tabs are now just a menu where the tabs were. 

The date at top of the page when you're not signed in is gone.

When you are signed in, the Welcome YourName is now smaller.

The website identifier and stats are now moved to the bottom of the page.
