<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '><b>Has been done:</b>
Added header on all pages
Points to Forum Stats page
Background selection reflects all pages
Added Jump To selector
Added ALARM signal to force time-outs (and keep the entire fucking server from crashing)
Add a Page <1 2 3> thing on the bottom (in replace of the "Display From")
Remove the default.html page, and point to the default.cgi
Rename "defaults" to "registration" (or "records")
Add real-time JS display to font changes on Registration
Rename the *.h files to *.pm

<b>To be done:</b>
Add a "Quick Post" hide-mode with only the Subject line and NT button
Adding more info on the bottom
Revamp the message table
Convert all pages into HTML 4.0 Strict with CSS stylesheets and ID/classes on all tags
Tweak these colors
Rename "backgrounds" to "styles"
Replace the FAQs with a help.cgi page
Improve the speed of the search engine
Add "build your own style" mode on Registration
Add a bunch of graphics/icons to the script
Change Convert to HTML into a selector box that includes "Convert from UBB" and "Convert spaces only"

In regards to the information on the bottom, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to put at the bottom. Judging on the output of other forums, I'm thinking of: a sort option, a quick search, a legend (when icons get put in), another "Post a New Message" link.

Are there any other design ideas out there? (Besides the backgrounds, yes, I know...I'm waiting until I convert everything into HTML 4.0 Strict before I do that.)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>In other words, the script is being changed slowly to a more updated style, kind of UBBish, but I think you will be able to choose threaded like it is now, and UBB style</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>What would be the point of that? In any case, you can set it to "No footers or cosmetics" on Single Messages in your record.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I think of the schemes as an overall scheme, not just post schemes. Like I said, it should be an option.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I will implement Esque's idea of a different background for posts and one for everything else. But right now, colors are on hold until HTML 4.0 Strict gets converted.</div>
