>>The new Message Boards page looks great too. I'm seeing two columns on the left ("Advertising" thru "Conglomerates") followed by everything else on the right in six narrow wrapped colums. Is your's different?

The Message Boards page needs work. It doesn't need all those categories. Those're all the categories the database shows, but I added a flag field earlier to tag a forum as open or closed and it got overwritten on my last import. I'll just have to save a query to rewrite fields like that after imports. See you divided the subject and peoplemarks pages. Big improvement imo. I agree. And it makes the page do about half the work of the previous version, for both the webserver and the db server. When is this beauty going to go into production? Don't know yet. The toughest part is going to be the routines that update/insert in the database. Mainly because I'll have to copy this database to another one and do updates/inserts to the copy while developing it. Which means once I start writing those, the development server's data is going to start getting really stale compared to this version. If that makes sense. I've been neck-deep in code today moving ad-serving onto yet another machine and making the old ad-server just a db server behind the new ad-server. So I'm probably thinking/talking like Doug now. <g> The goal I've set for myself is to get it into production by the end of March. No idea whether I can do it or even if I might get it done long before then. PS. I have dumped caches, rebooted etc and still get the yellow logo in the bottom bar with Opera and NN4.79, tho not with IE5. Got a fix for me? Replace the computer? <g> Can you do a "View Source" and email it to me at bobz@investorshub.com ? I'm wondering if the browser that's doing it might still have an "inc"-named include file cached. I changed the include file extensions to asp so that people can't view my source code. Edit: Nevermind. The problem is definitely on my end. For the first time, I just went to the site with Netscape 4.0, and there's that ugly mustard logo in the bottom. Weird.
