0.0.7 - Further Optimization, Bug Fixes and Tweaks

Version 0.0.7 of the Pedal Network comes with many fixes. In no particular order the ones I remember are:

Last reply now visible in Forum view
'Registered users viewing this post' enabled
SERIOUS image speed optimization (images should load literally 10 times faster)
Banner exchange fixes (It's almost working again! If you use the new code it should work, still trying to get the old code to work as well for the lazier webmasters)
Spots are coming soon! You will be able to add, browse, rate, comment on, and tag locations using a Google Maps interface. The structure is already in, just fine tuning it before I let you hellions () at it
General optimizations and fixes

More coming very soon.

Uploads Enabled

That's right, you can now upload images, movies, documents, archives whatever! There is currently no limit set on how many items you can upload, but there IS a 10MB cap. If you would like to upload something bigger, feel free to e-mail me with details on what and why. Otherwise, feel free to upload images like crazy! You will soon be able to easily insert any uploaded images into blogs, private messages, forum posts and comments!

SnowSk8r.com - First Sister Site Launched

    The purpose of all these changes is finally beginning to show. For one, I have launched the first of hopefully many sister sites, called SnowSk8r.com. It is a snow skating community website, which is a pretty new and very fun sport. The site is the EXACT same site, as far as the code, and the database. The great news is all Pedal members are registered SnowSk8r members! So all you have to do is click the picture of the snow skater at the bottom of the page, login, and begin posting! Sister sites like these are fairly easy to create on my end, and they all improve with Pedal because they use the same code. So, if you have any suggestions for community sites you would like to see, please don't hesitate to request/suggest it.

    This actually benefits Pedal greatly, because I'm using the same code on both sites, it speeds my development, and brings in more people using and testing the code out. It also should bring in lots of new traffic, so it's nothing but good news!

    I'm also working on re-starting the Pedal BMX team, and getting some new merchandise made.

Optimization and Tweaks

    I have just completed some file-size, and SQL optimzation on the site, so it should be running a bit faster now on both fronts. I also finally caught up the post counts on the forum index, they should be fairly accurate. I'm also working on importing even more older posts, to try and get a large history of posts existing. Then, if I can build out a search properly, and link it with the new posting process, it should really stir up some old threads as opposed to always making new ones.

    I am also working on the layout and the banner exchange, mainly I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle them both. The exchange is basically done I just need to finalize the format of the banner code and the images that accompany it. Please keep the great feedback coming, file bug reports, and keep posting!

    I truly appreciate everyone who has helped out and stuck through us with all of these changes. I promise the site will keep getting better, and I will be devoting more time to it in the near future.

I miss the old pedal ......

I also miss the old pedal users .... over the years I have been fortunate to have met a great ammount of posters on here and it just feels odd after all these years with such a colapse in pedal in regards to posts and forum functionality and layout. I will still keep comming by to have a look arround, but since the changes has caused such an exodus of past users I have found myself looking to doing other things. Anyway if anyone needs to contact me please do so by the other forum I use [b]www.bykeforum.com[/b] And I wish you all a great thanks for the past and hope that one day we may all be able to get back to the type of community we once had. - thanks Mark Aka "Byke"

BBCode Support and Links

That's right, BBCode should be working again, but it will be removed yet again if it causes any more problems.

Also, the [url=http://www.pedalbmx.com/links]Links page[/url] has some basic functionality, and you may begin adding links now.

Milestone! Pedal 0.0.5!

That's right, with the release of Pedal 0.0.5 (it wasn't really one solid release, more everything I changed this week), there have been a lot of bug fixes and additions! Namely:

IE Bug Fix: The shoutbox no longer deletes itself on update
There's a new menu for our JavaScript users!
Comments on Pictures and Blogs now working
View counters on Pictures and Blogs now working
View User's posts now working
Link submissions partly working
Many admin-side fixes and changes you don't care about but are cool for me

Despite all this progress, there are still many unresolved issues, such as:

~~Pagination links don't work properly (page:2 links to page:2/page:3 which links to page:2/page:3/page:4 etc)~~ Fixed!
E-mail notifications and slider notifactions are broken
RSS still breaks occassionally
No quote button yet

As always, please don't hesitate to submit bug reports if any of these new (or old) features don't work properly, or if you would like to see a specific feature added.
