#343 Fandev Enhancements

andy Mon 25 Aug 2008

I made a few changes around here, some of the bigger ones:

  • Remember me - Auto-login now supported.
  • Better search - Documentation and discussion now integrated so you can search on everything (works, but lots of room for improvement).
  • Blogs - Dedicated page/feed for blog posts
  • Fandoc cheat seat - Cheat sheet to make posting a bit easier.
  • Preview - Preview posts before you submit them.
  • Email - All posts are delayed a few minutes, so you have a bit of time to fix mistakes before the email goes out.

There were two breaking changes. The first is the Atom feed URI changed, so you'll need to fix your readers if you use it (should have made that announcement before we upgraded I suppose...).

The second one is IE6 support. I've decided to not design around IE6's limitations anymore. Looks like the majority of the traffic here is Firefox and IE7, so should not effect many of you. But as a compromise, I'm using Dean Edward's IE7 script to hammer IE6 into submission. The UX suffers, but it should still be functional.
