forums are almost redone!

new code is very fast and render quickly.

there are some unfinished bits. all the 'actions' such as edit , delete, post, and such are still non functional.

but all the viewable sections are now done.

+html now successfully divorced from code.
+html is no longer in table format, meaning it will work better on tablets and mobile devices, and properly styable with modern methods.
+majority of the code is now in a library (large reduction in code base), and redone
+general rewrite of the code.

this weekend I'll start grinding through the many user functions, clean a bit more and prepare it for relaunch.

other odds and ends----
chat:
+ I'll be adding user profiles and account numbers back in.
+ try to set it up so that connection doesnt go stable on mobile devices when closed
+ possibly general clean up of html display if time permitting

I've constructed a package system I **think** will be compatible with alacrity v2 (test.alacrity) and the v1(live www.alacrity this site)

I'm working through the forums to test it out. its already live and working on the news page.

what this means:
I will be able to renovate most pages in alacrity live, and transfer them to test. letting me bring test.alacrity to full functionality quicker.

what does the package manager do?

mostly it organizes the files, and employs my template system to separate the html from the backend code.

the re-packaged modules written are also far faster than the old code. file sizes are about 85% less. most of the duplicate code is split out into libraries (which dont exist in old alacrity)

why this is important:
it means I can develop features / renovate pages live and have them be compatible with v1/v2.

update
error on firefox has been fixed Firefox apparently doesn't follow the specification.

     as per catlover, there may still be an issue posting on firefox.
     I'll clean do some extra testing today. thanks for pointing this out!
     ...
     any other bugs found post in chat or reply to this post so I can get them
     

chat should now be loading on safari / firefox.

a change was made to these browsers recently (over last 4 months) which made 'lazy loading' difficult .

They broke features working for well over 15 years.

anyhow I've set in a work around for it in the mean time. please refresh your browser cache.

re: firefox. the page alignment doesnt quite line up perfectly. I'll get to fixing that as well. probably not tonight tho.
