Site Changes

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

So many changes, so little time to report them.

1. I've added a menu option called "Other". Live!Chat has moved there, along with other things.

2. In the "Other" menu you'll find a handy little WordFinder. Useful for crosswords. Plug in the letters you have and underscores for the letters you don't, and it'll list all possible words.

3. The "Other" menu also contains the fastest Anagram Solver I've ever seen. It'll only solve one-word anagrams, but whaddya want for nothing? A rubber biscuit?

4. Surveys! The Demographic survey has been redone and is now one of the surveys in the "Other" menu. Not only can you opt in for it, each answer is selected from a drop-down and "No Answer" is always a choice. I should point out that no identifying info about you is associated with your answers. One table stores the answers and a separate one just records the fact that you took the survey. Any survey, for that matter. That way people can only take any given survey once.

5. Any survey I add other than the Demographic survey will have publicly-viewable results. Check it out in the two other surveys we currently have.

6. The Boards menu item has changed a bunch. It got several new listing formats. Now you can list all boards on the site by Category, Group, Ticker, Size, or Name. Be patient if you're on dialup. It lists *all* the boards except when listing by Size, where it'll only show boards with at least 100 posts.
