Syn-Journal development thread.

[Brad]

Hello all ,

Scence the release of vBjournal lite there has been a big demand for modifications to that hack, because it lacked some fetures (like paging).
However it is one of the mosted used hacks out there because there is such a big demand for the script.

I was going to try and upgrade vBjournal when the author was no where to be found, but he has posted back and said he will countine development (last I heard),
so ive decided to code my own from scrath.

Here is the feture list thus far, idea's are welcomed
