Hi, i congratulations on a wonderful effort! I believe you did a great hob and it's a step in the right direction. I love the new templates, but i just wanted to ask if it was possible if you could also us to allow edit in html so we can add our own stuff with some html. Because i have a program caled Flash Menu Factory which i can create my own menus but i use html to add them to websites, but i don't know how to add it into your website. So it would be greatly appreciated if you could make it possible to edit in html! I MEAN GREATLY appreciate XD! I use this websites for a lot of my presentations at school and the teachers are always stunned by the amazing layouts...so thank you! But could you please try and make it available to edit in html...plz...plz..PLZ!

Thank You!!

Hi David, you can't add code, HTML or otherwise to text boxes but this shouldn't stop you linking to another site. The text you can simply add to a text box on a page. The link e.g. a web site address, would need to be copied from the supplied text/code i.e. just the www.sitename.com and added using the link option in the Editor.

In other words, add the text to the text box, highlight a section of text that will be linked to the external website, click on the Link tab in the Editor, select the URL (web address) icon and then paste in the web address you have been supplied with.

Details on this can be found in our FAQ. Happy linking!

Hi David, can you shed some light on your comment, as we don't quite understand your question with regards to links. Thanks.

Andy, thanks for the comments. As for your wishing for an 'global' File Manager, sadly that won't make headlines next release. As each website has its own little slice of the database getting the File Manager to upload to multiple sites within an account would be a very big job.

And as for using plain English, we use terms well used in the web industry and, for our own benefit (so WE know what we're talking about), we make do make some names up. After all, you can't have software development and not have the odd bit of jargon! But while you may find we give a feature or widget an 'odd' name we will do our best in putting more time into describing what it does and how you can benefit from it. But point taken. And thanks again.

FANTASTIC yes I am shouting it out well done Moonfruit it all just gets better and better but I am glad the price does not go up and up with all the improvments and what is this

File Manager changes ?? coming soon mmm could it be 1 file manager to use on all of your websites ? would be wicked if it was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just 1 little snag please use plain English when describing some products these codes and short names you use can be a bit hard to understand what they mean

however

WELL DONE a paying member of 5 years and counting Andy

Does this mean we will be able to do text links.

Hi Jeff,

If your Subjects are set to "Guests can View", then the subject title and description (or notes) will display if you publish that page for viewing in HTML (Log in > Edit > Page Settings > View HTML version). This is what the search engines will read.

That page will also offer links (to all viewable posts for each subject) using RSS feeds where the posts can be read by clicking the links on that page. The search engines should follow the links and spider the content on those posts, if they are marked public ( i.e. guests are allowed to view the posts and not just members.)

As to how deep search engines will go to read content, they are restricted to RSS providing a limit of 50 feeds which generally show the most recent feeds.

Another thing to note is that this only applies to the new (themable) forum. It doesn't apply if you have an old forum on your site.

Walt

This is alot of work you've done this round. excellent !!
The Header Tag situation is yet another seo-benefit many aren't aware of but having control over these areas is just really really good.

The helper showhome pages can even be used to show clients things that can be done.

Question?

Does all of the text inside the FORUM show in HTML. Can the search engines see all the content in the posts... no matter how deep it gets?

Thanks to Joe and rest of team.
