News
If you are seeing this, welcome to the new version of this website. We've ported our applications to a more mature version of the Sputnik framework that allows us to more rapidly make changes to the system while still contributing towards the central project. The biggest changes you will notice are:
- Users can now edit their own forum posts!
- The code snippets section is a bit more central and works much better without you needing to manually edit any pages.
- Forum posts should no longer get swallowed as they were previously.
- RSS feeds are now available for more of the website, including compose forum feeds
- Removed the heavy TinyMCE editor in favor of the lighter MarkItUp!
As always, please report any issues directly on the website forum.
