The forum's certainly running running nice and fast for me.   The new section is a good idea too, I reckon you must have inspired some people 

Yeah, I already know. Received the letter saying the same a couple of days ago.
Well, I might consider update, but not right now. When the new software comes out, it's always better to wait some time before upgrading to it - let other people test it in the real circumstances.

Added a little feature to the forum - now, if you click on someone's username (the link above his avatar), that username will be copied to the Quick Reply box. Useful thing when you're addressing your post to someone.

I have a small notion. Its not exactly technical but, certainly boring.

This smilie  '' doesnt really look like an 'EEK!' expression, more of a shocked expression like a speachless 'WOW' impression.
This smilie  '' looks like its yawning, rather than 'unsure'
And lastly this smilie  '' looks unsure. Still looks like rolling eyes but, also looks like its looking up as a thought.

Might just be me, anyone else think that way?

Ah I see, nevermind then

Least this smilie is obvious 

Actually, I prefer it that when clicking someones username, I go to their profile. Maybe have that as an on/off setting in the Look and Layout Section of the profile?

Upgrades dont edit current data, they only add new tables, rows etc... to the database if they are not present, so all the smilie codes will be left un touched.

However, since Dag has uploaded these smilies into the default folder, a major (1.0 => 1.1 or RC3 => 1.1) upgrade will overwrite them. Uploading into default, classic, or babylon folders are often not a good idea because an upgrade will overwrite them. It is always better to use a new directory for any custom smilies, themes etc... Minor updates which can be installed in the package manager (1.1.1 => 1.1.2) more often than not, dont.

They?! Doc Writer right here.

1.1.2 is definatly worth the upgrade. It has better PM options over RC3, you can specify how many posts a person much have otherwise they'll have to pass CAPTCHA, also you can limit the number of all PM's per hour. It also has better CAPTCHA options in general. You can set from Very Simple plain blue text with no noise in a box to High to coloured text in no box with noise.

To upgrade to 1.1.2 you will have to do it manually since RC3 is that far out of date, on the SM.org download page, select the LARGE UPGRADE package, upload all the files in there and then run upgrade.php (now you see why overwriting the theme/smilie default files yourself is not a good idea ) once on 1.1.2 upgrading there after (1.1.3 etc...) is pretty simple via the package manager.

2.0 Beta 1 is planned for release in June but is exclusive to Charter Members only, but dont hold us to that, meaning that you'll have to fork money for it, but you do get other stuff like team installs/upgrades and one on one support too . The first public beta is planned for October, but dont hold us to that either. 2.0 is a MAJOR step up from 1.1 where every mod will need to be updated as well as every theme too, for mods its because of the Abstraction layer for the PostgreSQL and SQLite support, and themes because all the language strings have been renamed into something meaningful.

If I were you, I'd create a copy of your theme and smiles and put them into a new directory first.
(to create a copy of your theme, download it, and then create a new folder in the Themes directory, and upload the EDITED files into there (from the looks of things its index.template.php, Display.template.php and Post.template.php) and images, into that folder and then go Admin > Themes and Layout > Install a New Theme > From a directory on the server > [ENTER] > Save) and for the smilies (Admin > Smileys and Message Icons > Smiley Sets > New Smiley Set > [check] Import smileys already in this directory > Save)

Doing that prevents you from you've made to the defaults during upgrading, because you MUST replace all the defaults when upgrading which is why its best not to add your own custom edits.

Then take ALL the tweaks you've made to the Sources files and package those as a mod (Package SDK, anyone?) and the theme files also. Then install via the Package Manager as per usual.

May sound like a bit much but heck, I gotta do alot worse since I gotta upgrade to 2.0.
