New Features added to 8.x
  1. Entire admin area gone through and updated. Removed a ton of fonts and un-needed tags from the admin area and added style information in place of it via an external style sheet. New graphics for admin area, new colors.
  2. Highly optimized the mass emailing and newsletter sending code... it now sends emails in batches and allows you to select how many you want to send at once.. this is very helpful because using ASP you can usually send no more than 300 emails at once without getting a script timeout error.. this solves that issue...

  3. Added advanced database logging feature which stores detailed log information in the database.






  4. Increased login security by not allowing form post data to be re-returned to the page.
  5. Added IP Address Banning system.


  6. Added CJWSoft Captcha to registration form.

  7. Added new example code for protecting/streaming very large files.. it seems to work very well..I downloaded a 40 mb file no problem using this new code.
  8. Added support for sending emails using CDOSYS and a GMail account..
  9. Made input curser start off in the Username field text box when the Username/Password form loads up. This saves the need to click in the field with the mouse to start typing. 
  10. Added Indemnification Agreement Pop-up to the registration signup form which must be agreed to before continuing. This is often done for legal reasons to help cover yourself if something should come up later on.. 
  11. Changed registration form to require confirmation of both the password and email address your signing up with.
  12. Changed edit screen in admin area to not show a persons password. You can easily change it back the way it was before if you want admins to be able to see them.
  13. Added password expiration feature (the use of this is optional) it lets you set an expiration date for a users password.. at which time they are forced to change it. This also keeps tracks of the last 12 passwords they had (all encrypted of course) and doesn't let them choose a password they have used before..
  14. Ton of misc performance/security enhancements to the code. Basically a lot of little things are not listed here but make the application a lot better.
