Please be on the lookout for any bugs in:
- news
- commenting on news
- left nav widgets (we

all 3 places received updates.

---The header file for alacrity has been cleaned up for insertion of test features, but its possible some things get missed.

--news changes:
- has been spot fixed, to be portable to the new server.
- all news files are now template driven, so that we can update the design in the future.
- 90% of the size of these files were reduced , and speed was greatly optimized (the code here was shockingly bad)

It's a small outward change. but news has been revamped in preparation for future use. now it is modifiable, and clean on the inside.

News is essentially a blog, a blog is single section forum,and Ticket systems are glorified forums with a few added bells and whistles.

all roads here lead to a proper forum.

After I finish up the overhaul, I'll come back and merge all of it. till then, forums will stay as much as is, as is possible.

so. there are still some **extremely** annoying display bugs to figure out.

but on the whole, its mostly working.

I had to do house cleaning on the old code base to get it working. I'll try to do some more so that I can stick in mail next.

Pardon the color scheme, I'll get to that next after its all behaving nicely!

do let me know your opinion on the new chat, whats missing and what you would like to have!
