Comments on the following newsitem
BOINCstats has undergone a major revision to its framework. Though the general look may seem the same, behind the exterior much has changed. The framework was completely rewritten to be safer and more compatible with certain browsers.

So, what has changed:
- The divs that give the site its look have been replaced, some browsers had problems rendering BOINCstats correctly.
- Some backgrounds and colors have changed.
- The menu sections can be dragged to any position you like. Same goes for the front-page. When you are logged-in the changes are stored in your profile.
- Parts of the forum and PM code are updated or replaced. BOINCstats no longer implements the changes from the BOINC trac but goes its own way with the forum code.
- The forum, PM and shoutbox have a WYSIWYG editor.
- The shoutbox supports a limited set of BBcodes.
- The profile pages are completely changed. It's now possible to be friends with other BAM! members.
- And a lot of minor changes that I won't bother you with.

As with all major changes, there may be problems/bugs. Please report them in the bug section of the forum.

I hope you enjoy the new look and features. If you have suggestions or new ideas, don't hesitate to tell me about it in the forum.

Willy,
The features you just added to this website are very cool, its a major improvement on the basic BOINC forum software if thats what you were using.

I would encourage you to email the boinc_dev and see if you can get them to add this particular WYSIWYG to the boinc source code. I pushed for a similar WYSIWYG bb code editor about a year ago but it never happened.

Well done Willy for your efforts, you deserve a pat on the back for your hard work!

The general website look is very cool, big improvement, well done!

If you want boinc smileys, they are avalable here; http://www.boincteams.com/boinc-smileys . Email me and i can send you the boinc smileys in a zipped package if you want them.

Smileys and embedded youtube video's cost little or nothing in bandwidth but they mean a lot to people who post messages.

John.

The code I have is based on BOINC forum code, but no longer compatible with it.

It would take some effort to get it working.

Other than that, I don't think the main dev wants smileys.
Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.
