Developments

14/05/2007: Changes to be documented

Rounded boxes

Currently «<--- gives a rectangular box, whilst «< gives a plain box, now you have a third option of «<~~ for a rounded box. This option also works with right alignment »>~ and centred ^^^~~.

Definitions

If you have a term that you would like to define, and you would prefer not to interrupt the flow of the reader by using brackets, then you might like to use the following option:

Traditional method using brackets:

The new Accord comes equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist System).

New method using pop-up box:

The new Accord comes equipped with ADAS.

Wikipedia

But don't forget you can still use Wikipedia to provide a definition, simply by surrounding phrase with back ticks: The new Accord comes equipped with ADAS.

Floating boxes

Boxes now float automatically next to each other, to maximise use of the users screen. If you do not desire this behaviour then put to empty lines between the boxes.

Boxes with background images

It is now possible to specify a background image for a box. This enables you to overlay text, just as with a normal box. If you create a plain image with shadow, this gives you the impression of shadowed boxes.

24/04/2007: Changes to automatic linking

To reduce the number of undesirable links being generated on our websites, I have today made the following changes:

23/04/2007: Edit mode expiry

I have now stopped you from being automatically logged out after four hours of editing. Apart from being a nuisance, if you in the middle of uploading a photo or editing a page, this actually damaged security, as it then required you to re-key your password and send it over the Internet.

21/04/2007: Internet connection upgrade completed

We have now replaced our Internet connection, for one with triple the bandwidth. This should have a significant impact on the speed of your website, and the speed of uploading photos to your website.

18/04/2007: Minor update released today

The following changes were made:

You can track changes under the Enhancements page.

17/04/2007: New commenting functionality

You can now add comments to your content, see Formatting page for details. You can search for all the comments on your website by clicking Comments on your editing toolbar.

16/04/2007: Auto-resizing edit box

The edit box, in which you edit your website, will now automatically adjust its size to suit your screen size. This feature will always assume that your browser is maximised and that you have a javascript-enabled browser.

Contact us if you find that this feature is not working for you.

14/04/2007: New Film Strip function

You can now add a horizontally scrollable view of your chosen images, as follows:

 %FILMSTRIP%
    * {image_none|example_image1.jpg}
    * {image_none|example_image2.jpg}
    * {image_none|example_image3.jpg}
    * {image_none|example_image4.jpg}
 %FILMSTRIP%

See Functions page for more details.

10/04/2007: Photo Manager major update

10/04/2007: Page Loader update released

10/04/2007: Changes to Bootpolish.net
