By most standards, that's quite an extensive beta test.

BTW, for those interested in encouraging a journal hack that seems destined to be released, I'm sure AN-net would appreciate your feedback.

I am sure every hack author or those looking for feedback appreciate encouragement.. So saying something like that in someone elses thread who is working on a hack that is very similar to the one you want everyone to encourage is somewhat rude.. Try and encourage everyone who is doing a hack.. and keep posts/comments like those above to yourself or in a pm.. That only discourages hack authors..

People have a mind of their own.. Allow them to decide which hack they would rather have or encourage..

You will find that I have encouraged this hacker and hack in a previous post, and of course will continue to do so.

If you refer to the original post by Gamingforce, you will see that he wrote that he "might" release this hack. Clearly, that is his decision. I admire his desire for perfection and for excellence.

If you find my post "rude"...so be it. However, since I do not view multiple hacks as competing but rather as co-existent efforts, my intention was to further the support of each in their endeavors.

Well, last I spoke to this guy he told me that he will most likely keep it as a GFF (Gamingforce Forums) exlusive, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about this.

[AN-net]

i am glad to see support for my version of this add on but i feel only for the best quality of these hacks to be done is to be patient and not discourage either of us. I also will say this is not a race for anything, i will work on this hack till i find it suitable to my standards and the features in it are is what is needed/wanted. I do hope that gaming force also sees it this way as well. Pleade be patient, as your patience will bring you the best of our works. When both are released there will be a tough decision and you the people will have to choose and i hope you each will choose which ever journal more suitablly(sp?) fits your site and your forums.

Thank you again for your encouragement and please dont make this into a race/battle.

Thumbs up for these wise words.
Don't let it go like the vbPets/ Petzvb.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this happen. It seems very feature rich. WHoever gets it done first. kudos.

It did seem that I saw a more basic journal for vb3 already released. Can somebody link that here as well. Having difficulties finding it now.

i think the journal you are refering to is over at http://www.everythingvb.com

Changes From Version 2.69 -> 2.70

(Copied and pasted from my board)

[ New Feature ]
Previously, when you wanted to link someone to a specific entry, you had a link that loaded EVERY entry in your journal causing some long load times for larger journals. Now, the links to individual entries load SINGLE entries! Old links will still work, but all new direct links to entries will now point to this new single entry display.

How do you easily copy the URL to an entry? Check this image below:


Note that if you link people to a private entry, only your buddies will be able to load it.

[ New Feature ]
The feature that took me many hours tonight to put together is the new Calendar system for journal entries! The Entries Calendar is an easy way to look at entries over months from a calendar perspective and easily bring up entries from a specific date only! It's very cool and required A LOT of clever coding! You can easily jump from month to month using the month selector at the bottom of the calendar. Check out the screenshot for more details.

To access a calendar for any journal, load a journal page and in the top information box, click the link (next to entries) that says "[view entry calendar]".

That calendar feature is very impressive, great work.
