  • TOOL TIME


    Exciting news: Janet and Marc are finishing the last round of testing for our xTools relaunch!


    You may be thinking, “Hmm… xTools Relaunch?!  What’s he talking about anyway?” 


    Well we’re revamping xTools to be bigger and better.  A partial list of what’s in store:



    • MORE SPACE: We’re adding more space to type your posts in, especially for Classic members!


    • MORE FONTS: We’re supporting a kajillion more fonts.  Dying for Wingdings or Monotype Corsiva?  It’s your lucky day.


    • MORE SMILEYS: We’re tossing some extra smileys in there.  An angry face, for sure.  Probably some happy ones too!


    • BETTER XANGAZON SUPPORT: This one isn’t confirmed yet, but we’re pretty sure that the “Currently Reading” feature will work in Netscape, Mozilla, and other alternative browsers. So far, the testing has been going very well!


    • CONFIRMATION WARNING: You ever write a long post and then accidentally hit Cancel instead of Submit?  Never again, my friend.  We’re adding a “Are you super-duper sure you want to cancel that?!” confirmation warning whenever you hit Cancel or Delete.

    Internal testing is going well, so we’re probably about a week or so away from beta testing.  Depending on how that goes, this could be hitting your desktop before you can say “enable eProps and comments”!


    We’ll keep you posted as testing progresses…
