New Updates

I got rid of the plabs link under the banner. I will be moving the ocntents to other place. In it's place you will find a new "tutorial" link. It will eventually be the link to the offical newbie guide with video tutorial and all but until then there is at least a little getting started info. Don't forget there are always the help files.

I also added the (e:strip) API and Student loans link under the link tags above hangman when you are logged in. If you haven't added your student loans to the site total, don't forget to do so. Let's aim for $2 million. So far we are at $1 million and only aroudn 20 peeps have entered their info.

The API allows you to mirror your sites content and media on your own website with your own design. You can see an example here

Using the API you can also conglomerate the cotents fo more than one journal on another site. So if you would liek to form your own journal group, you can update you content here and have all the journals from all the members in your group show up on your own website.

Update on Usersounds

(e:jenks) I took your advice and made it so that your journal sound preference determines if you hear everyone else's music instead of determining if yours is played automatically when other people visit. It makes more sense, that way no one has to hear music if they don't want to and can leave the other sounds enabled. Plus if you want to everyone else's and are on a fast connection - you can.

Couple Updates

important e and inlink changes
The major update is that I got rid of inlinks. Yes, that is right, I did what I should have done two years ago and just made it that you can use the elinks to make a link to a specific journal. Hopefully this will fix the problem with no one using the inlink. I t is really annoying a year later when you go back and somebody referecned someones jorunal with just and elink. You have no idea what journal they were talking about. So now to make it easy you just put a comma and then the number after the elink to reference a particular journal.

I will convert all the old inlinks to this format sometime this weekend. Here is an example.

(e:paul) links to pauls jorunal but nor specific entry while (e:paul,145) linsk to journal # 145 by paul. You can find any journals ID# right next to it's title. Please use this new format when refereing to other peoples specific journals.

publish box changes
I changed the edit box to use a whole new backend. Most of it should be familiar.

(GOOGLE - panos) [search]panos[/search] (WIKIPEDIA - flower) [dict]flower[/dict]

The box no longer returns you to the top of your form when you click on an edit button. You can highlight text and clock the link, color, or size buttons to add links, color or size to a text string.



I renamed quick correct as typofix . The new system tell you how to use each tag when you role over it. This should make it more obvious what the buttons are used for and help new people to use all the tags. I will be adding some other new styles shortly.

Your media lib is just called lib. Sketch was renamed draw.

There is a minor bug in the firefox version when you highlight an dtag any text that starts at the beginning of the text box. It simply puts the tag before the string instead of around it. I will try and work in out when I get a chance.

You now have a lot more control over font color and size. Using the color and size button.

Hope everyone is coming to the party this weekend (MAP TO: 444%20LINWOOD%20AVENUE)

New user documentation, help files

I really need help with this. It is critical that i find someone to finish/restart/create the new user documentation in addition to finding someone to update the help files and then stay current with them. It is a rapidly changing interface so usually help files will need to be updated about once or twice a month.

As the userbase grows I am confronted with answering lots of questions each day that could be fixed by a new user guide.

It is probably better if it is not done by me as I tend to write things a little to technical for non computer freaks. Besider that ia m a terrible writer.Whoever does this will be considered my favorite epeep ;) If someone made (e:strip) tee-shirts I would give you one.

Sound Update

I fixed it so that there are three sound tracks. What does this mean for you. It means you can listen to usersounds even while the chat and other noises are happening.

Site Speed

The site should be faster now. There was a runaway process eating up the server resources.

Journal Music

I switched it so that journal music auto play is off by default. You can easily turn it on in your prefernces if you want. Users can always play and pause the music by using the play button under your userpic,

Chat Archives and Journal Music

[size=m]Chat Archives[/size]
I have finally dried out the latest 11,700 lines of estrip chat into an achive file. You can find it on the media page with all other chat since 2004 or simply click on the picture below.

That is a lot of lines for only 3 months.

[size=m]Journal Music[/size]
I have also made it so that your journal music can play by default if you uploaded an mp3 into the system using the your journal music control panel. If you want to change it so that the music does not play by default, which I would suggest - then just open up your preferences control panel - the red switch icon in your control panel - and set "Automatically Play Journal Music" to no.

image

Either way if someone has music loaded into their journal a play button will show up under their user pic. CLicking on it starts the music. If the music is on it turns into a red square. Clicking on the red square stops the music.

If the user has the music on by default the play button will default to a red square.

The journal sound on/sound off toggle now overides all sound on the page. I moved everything to the new system so you can toggle sound on an d off that way. You can also toggler sound off in your preferences control panel.

I should probably write help files about this. If something isn't working empty your cache before telling me. All sounds now require flash player 8. You can get it here .

Stay tuned, next I am going to work on the editing system and the profiles.
