digged, I think...

Amazing. Especially with the additions you have planned.

Some future ideas (although i recognise they might be a bit 'way out')

usergroups & restrictions - so people who are not assigned a specific usergroup cannot even see certain catagories?

Filesupport so i can attach a file to a discussion, or perhaps have a seperate files tab - with simple upload support to own ftp server.

Due to a number of requests for importing functionality from other services, we have suspended all development of any new features so that we can concentrate all our man power on building the planned import system and releasing it as soon as possible.

Initial support will be for Wordpress and PHPBB, but others will also be supported. We need to know what you want to import from, so please let us know in the discussion I created.

HTML formatting is not supported =(

You will now be happy to know that HTML is now supported on new blog and forum posts.

Excellent program!

The ever popular and IE beating Firefox browser has just become available as an all new version 2. Althought this is only a release candidate - with the official release due in October - I installed it and found a nice new feature called Microsummaries.

Microsummaries are regularly-updated short summaries of web pages. When you bookmark a web page that has a microsummary, you can choose to display the microsummary as the title of the bookmark. Then, when the page changes, the title will also change, so you can find out the current status of the page just by looking at the bookmark.

So I just knocked up a very quick implementation of Microsummaries for Switchboard. Try it out with yours. Just bookmark your Switchboard in Firefox and you will be given the option to bookmark it using it's Microsummary, which will display the Switchboard's title and the number of new comments.

It's a great way of seeing if your Switchboard has any new comments since you last checked.

We decided not to allow HTML in posts, as it can cause too many problems, and can be a security risk. We chose Markdown syntax instead, which is completely secure and very easy to use. What do you need/use HTML formatting for?

The language for skinning is simply plain old CSS. If you are not familiar with CSS, take a look at http://www.google.com/search?q=css which will give you a load of help.

Sorry, but English only please :)
