Welcome to the latest version of the English Amiga Board !
This release will unveiled some longtime asked features, I hope you will enjoy them ! :cool
AJAX Integration
AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) allows your browser to send data to and receive data from a server without reloading the current page. This technology, whose use is being pioneered by Google, allows developers to create rich, fast-responding interactive pages.
For example, you can try using quick reply with recent browser (FireFox, Opera, IE6)
Database-Based Thread and Forum Read Marking
Yes, it's finally here! Now, instead of using cookies and inactivity timeouts to determine what should be considered unread versus read, EAB will be able to track this via the database. (over a period of 10 days)
Individual threads will be considered as read only if you read them.
Also, as soon as you will have read all threads in a forum, it's light bulb will go out; no need to visit the forum list!
Filter some Forums from "Show Unread Posts"
You are now able to select certain Forums you do not want to appear on Show Unread Posts.
To remove the forums you don't want, simply go at the end of your user panel options (http://eab.abime.net/profile.php?do=editoptions).
Whole new Message Editor
This new editor has more extensible code, more features and should be quite a bit faster (especially for IE)
Inline Moderation for moderator
EAB 3.5 now includes a comprehensive inline moderation system. Moderators can now manage threads and posts wherever the threadbit or postbit is displayed, and this even includes search results! Actions include stick/unstick, open/close, delete/undelete, approve/un-approve, move and merge.
Global Moderators (http://eab.abime.net/showgroups.php) are also back, you should contact them if you have any problem over the board :cool
Javascript Issues
As EAB 3.5 contains some fairly extensive changes to various javascript systems, you should have to empty your caches or do hard-refreshes from time to time to make sure that you have the latest javascript code.Best regards to all :)
Long life at the amiga community !

Groovy! A good dollop of Ajax and a bit of elbow grease will keep the forum sparkling like new. :|

Nice!

Don't know if this is a bug - but I just uploaded a file to the zone (with a comment attached) and the comment is not appearing.

Because of the Database-Based Thread and Forum Read Marking, I can no longer calculate this number without loosing a lot of resources. I will see if there is one acceptable solution for future.

note: you have this number at the top right of the "Show Unread Posts" page ;)

RCK - with all these updates can you have new members automatically be members of The Zone group?

RCK - with all these updates can you have new members automatically be members of The Zone group?I would prefer not, I created this group to force them reading the FAQ at least one time, why do you whish to revert back ? do you think we still have a lot of "how to access the zone" request ?

Send me new #htmlcolortag and I will test them :)
The actual one are very basic, but at least they are clear :agree

Hmm I didn't say I didn't like the colors. I don't think color alternatives is pretty or necessary. I'd simply use the same color for everyone but if you really want difference, try to use the different brightness alternatives from the same hue.

In fact this is something you could do with the old eab versions isn't it?

True, but I didn't take time to add it.
The goal of those visual name differences was to help new users to quickly know when a moderator have replied to a thread.

I was reserving any comments on 3.5 until I had an opportunity to play with it a bit, but now that I have, I like what I've seen. Being able to post a quick reply without having the page reload is great, as are the improvements in editing posts.

Good work! :D

Hmmm ... Maybe this is a problem on my end, but I inserted a .png as an attachment to a post in another thread, but I can't see it in my post. Any ideas?

I see you attachement, but I think there is a bug when you are editing such attachment, I will have a look about that.
