Improved Navigation and Gallery Mode

I have revolutionized site navigation with the control bar at the top right of the journal. There is now a camera icon between the nav arrows <--10 cam --10>. Even (e:soyeon) should be happy now.

The <--10 and --> arrows go back and forth, ten journals at a time. The camera switches to gallery mode. Gallery mode allows the user to view the journal as just images. If you click on any of the images, it takes you to the entry that it was contained within. From there you can use the <--10 and 10--> arrows to move around. At any point when using the gallery function you can switch back to journal mode, by clicking on the red x camera icon or by switching journals.

I also update dthe email the user page. I moved the link to right under the user pic so that it was easy to find as requested. The link also opens in a popup box and closes when you click send mail.

By the way I love my new camera icon. I hope you enjoy it just as much I do, you can thank Cinema 4D ver 9, it was the last usage before permanent my switch to maya. I will be adding a help link with a searchable help index in place of the old gallery link in the main bar. It is not complete, but the link is already there.

I also added a new icon for the preferences. All of the control panels hav been redone and open in little popUp control panel windows. This is the new preferences icon. It is very tiny in the control panel and replaces the old # icon.

New Navigation Feature

Inspired by (e:soyeon) 's incessant hints about the problem with the previous ten being at the bottom of the journal, I ended up moving it to the top and adding a next ten button too. Now you can move forward or backward ten journal entries at a time with the click of a button. The buttons look like the number ten in a box with an arrow and are located at the top right corner of the journal.

New Updates and Preferences

(e:j3sse) made a request for a new preference to have the publish box closed by deafult. So if anyone else wants to use it, it can now be found in your preferences control panel ( the # in your control panel.) I also redid the add more upload entry spots on the publish form. to add up to five media files, just click the "Num Files ++" button and it adds entry slots without having to refresh the page like it used to.

epad update

Now the epad just shows up when you click on an inlink instead of notifying you that the text has been copied to the epad. The save/send feature works as well. I hope this raises awareness of the epad system. If it is actually used, I mayl update with new features shortly.

Updated Stats and Appology

(e:matthew) warned me about this several times and I forgot to check into it. It is true that the media stats were not updating for a while, actually about a month. I am surprised no one else noticed besides (e:matthew). It was an easy fix. I had changed the name of the database that stored the statistics but hadn't changed it in the code that counts them as you upload. There are so many more media files than expected. You can always check on the (e:info) journal for the full site stats or on your journal for your own stats. Stats are located right under your fav five list if you have them enabled in your preferences control panel.

[size=m]Current Site Stats[/size]
Total Entries: 6237
Total Words: 1,075,819
Images Uploaded: 3105 *updated since fix
Total Sounds: 28 *updated since fix
total SWFs: 16 *updated since fix

Wow, that is a lot of information.
