| | What do you guys think of JavaScript-heavy forums such as DaniWeb? Would you rather spend time on a forum with a very unique skin and all the bells and whistles, or something very simplistic and standard that's quick loading and far less confusing? |
| | There were a couple of style changes today so I want to mention them ... Firstly, the [inlinecode] tag has been replaced with [icode] to make it easier / quicker to type. The bug that was making the smiley and font popup menus appear in awkward places in the wysiwyg … |

| | Just out of curiosity ... what is YOUR singlemost favorite DaniWeb feature? It can be anything no matter how big or small. For me it's the look of the category portal pages and the members who share your interests within a member profile. |
