After a solid month of work and a lot of prep time before that, I present to you version 7 of the O-Review. There are some new goodies, so I will try to go over most of them here. But as with any transition, please let me know about any bugs as I've been fixing a lot, and browsers other than IE have been showing some issues.

First off we have a new layout. With all the complexities and bugs, we are however able to swap the whole layout at will, and provide skins so you can have a custom tailored theme whenever the mood strikes. The dropdown at the bottom of the menu will let you change the theme on the fly, or you can change it permanently through the user info.

In the user control panel, there is also a checkbox for Holiday skins that you can uncheck if you so choose not to have it change during the few times a year that it does. I've also allowed you to choose the censor level yourselves. Try overkill for a good laugh. Finally you can specify the post count per page to whatever you like. The forum thread listing pages are also seperated by pages now, so the General Topic doesn't take a year to load.

New Sections:

Portal: http://www.o-review.com/portal.asp
The portal replaces the Forum and Member section. If you're here, you found it, and the member login brings you there anyway. Everything should be now accessible from this one location. You can receive updates to threads, your PM's and the collection areas. Hopefully this will streamline most member functions.

Wiki: http://www.o-review.com/wiki.asp
The wiki is in full effect. In addition to the content within, I've also hardlinked certain pages into the menu so you all can help update instead of waiting for my schedule to free up to add your suggestions (never it seems nowadays). I still have some things to work on, but basically from the main page you can list all pages, recent changes, revisions or add a new page. Editing Tips are available on the main wiki page or on the menu in the Wiki section. Translation help is appreciated, and if you can help in a language that is not in the list, please let me know and I wil add it.

Blog: http://www.o-review.com/blog_list.asp?Mode=user
Blogs are available to certain members once a level has been reached or by request. Please let me know if you do not have access but wish to, and I will set it up. This section is still in progress, so please let me know what functions would be useful to you.

Movies and Music:
http://www.o-review.com/movies.asp
http://www.o-review.com/music.asp
These two sections allow you to enter a Movie or album then you and everyone else can comment on it. Hopefully it will be a useful way to share good movies and music since most of us have similar tastes.

Some pages will automatically remove the menu in order to fit larger content, and the smaller menu will pop up to the top. Also if you print a page, the menu and header will go away leaving you with a printer-friendly layout.

Hope you enjoy and comments, problems, suggestions should be sent my way. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Basically everything should either be in the left menu or integrated into the portal (or both). If you still can't find it, let me know, I probably forgot to add it somewhere.
