Welcome to the OutlinerSoftware.com discussion forum. Here is some basic info to get you started and some idea of what will be added shortly.

Anyone can browse the forum. To post, you must register and then login. You must be approved before your posts will appear; this will happen soon after your first post.

The forum is currently “plain text” - you can’t post HTML or any formatting at this point. Web addresses will automatically be turned into links, however.

Once registered and logged in, you can post new topics or reply to individual messages within a topic. When replying, you can post a standard blank reply or choose to post a quoted reply - this is like replying in an email program that quotes the message you are responding to so you can reply inline to previous comments.

There are a few tweaks and design changes to be made. After that, here is what will be coming up (in no particular order):

- user account edit (so you can change your password, etc.)
- password reset (in case you forget your password)
- preview of message before submitting post
- ability to edit your own posts
- RSS feed of new posts
- optional email notifications of new posts
- ability for members to export all messages to a downloadable text file
- ability to choose your time zone and display messages in your own time (all times are currently displayed as GMT)

Let me know if you encounter any problems or have suggestions.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris

Excellent job so far. The design is light years ahead of ye olde outliners.com.

A question if I may? At the top level of topic listings, is it planned to include some info about the replies? I wouldn’t have known Graham had replied to you, until I scrolled to the bottom of your original post.

Thanks

Jack
