Awesome stuff MF. Keep up the great work.

Woo hoo! I have been checking this site every day to see when the Comment widget would be available! I can't wait to put it up on my site. I think this will be huge for increased traffic and return visitors.

Nice work guys!

cut & paste between pages
multiple select of page objects

These would be invaluable tools for my database website. How's the 'Search' tool coming along, for within a website, I wonder ? It was mentioned that one other than the present one was being worked on.

We're released the google search which works within your site (though only if you site has been indexed by google), but anything beyond that may be a while away.

not sure if this has to do with the new version but last night i could move my menu, loading bar, ect. on page master. now i am only able to move the background box and title. nothing else is even recognized. like does not realize it should be able to be moved around and edited with page master. everything else is fine on the site, but i would really like to be able to fix a few things.

Hi Julie,

Thanks for letting us know. We've got our dev team working on a fix for this asap so we hope to have some good news for you soon.

Hi there moonfruit,
This months release seems to be a fine addition to our library. The comments widget i am most content with but even better is the mail widget, i didn't think moonfruit could do it! There is a FAULT with the mailing widget though. When you put it on page master then use it like that, it will appear behind everything on each page.

I have an xbox 360 website on that requires each member to have their own member page. I am delighted that we have now got this addition to moonfruit, once again, thanks again.

I am not understanding the HTML! Did you add HTML? Cause in the update it said HTML, how do you use the HTML?

9. On Sat, 19 May 2007, 20:14 by adam

Marvin: What it means is that the HTML version of your site (which is read by search engines, people without flash or javascript) is now fully web standards compliant, not that you can add your own HTML to a site. This means that your site is cutting-edge in terms of being readable by search engines, screen readers and the like. It shows that moonfruit is committed to web standards and to making sure that your site is accessible to everybody.

The next time someone asks if your flash site is fully compatible with search engines, or accuses you of ignoring blind or partially sighted people, ask them if their site is W3C compliant like yours is. See http://validator.w3.org/ to check.

In terms of adding HTML, No, you can't 'add HTML' to your site, but there's almost always a way of doing what you want within sitemaker. It depends exactly what you need the HTML for, really...

10. On Sat, 19 May 2007, 20:46 by Scapehackers

Yes! This is exactly what i have been waiting for! Thank You So Much for the Members Only Pages! Yay! Now i can actually make my clan better and now i do not have to send out weekly newsletters and just have it on my site instead! (ill prlly still send newsletters, don't worry you Runescapers)

Hi Moonfruit,

Thanks for the new widgets and all. I have a request, is it possible you make sitemaker like CMS content management sites, I would like to create a football news portal and I don't want to go look somewhere, I have been with Moonfruit for 7 years now and I like it but some widgets need to be renewed like the news blog, the directory, the chat and calender.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

PS: Joe, you did not reply to my post on the other topic.

12. On Tue, 22 May 2007, 11:33 by joe

Hi Atlas, we're working our way through these old widgets now. The chat will be the next one that gets remade, and then we'll move on from there.

I'm not sure what CMS you are after, as the whole of Moonfruit is really a kind of CMS. Is there a particular feature you're after?

Joe

13. On Tue, 22 May 2007, 14:01 by Atlas

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply, I am looking for a news feature where members can post news and where the visitors can leave their comments on any posted news. The other thing is special characters like é è ë ö which you can find in German, French and Dutch etc they need to be available again in the news widget.

Atlas

Firstly a 'Big well Done' to Moonfruit for providing some useful new interactive widgets, like the comment Widget and the Send to a Friend one!!
It's a great addition to the sites which allows visitors to actually do something whilst online!!
Is there any chance that a Widget could be set up for people to send an instant message to another user on site? like on myspace etc? i have loads of Members on my Community Site and it would be great if they could see who is online etc and send a Message to them...
I have found a Free instant messenger programme at: http://www.userplane.com/webmesseng...
Is there any chance that a widget could be made to accept the coding of this? or indeed if Moonfruit could have there own similar Version?
I'd be grateful for any reply... as Moonfruit have good facilities already, but i think needs to move forward in providing visitors/members with more to do on the sites?
Anyone agree?
Thanks, jeff

Another great addition to your fantastic catologue of features... again making the impossible, possible. As for LavenderofPilat, the Multiple Select of page objects has been a feature I've longed for esspecially if you have images such as albums where you want to prioritise them from the 'latest'. It's also useful when you make changes on the layout. Cheers!

A feature I'd like to see is an 'Add to Favourites' link and an updated Forum and Guestbook to look as slick as everything else.

16. On Wed, 23 May 2007, 11:17 by joe

Hi Altas, all the new widgets we produce will support all european characters, so you'll get them eventually. We will start work on a new forum and news type feature soon, though they may a while to produce.

Jeff, we'll take a look a the SMS options, though I'm not sure how the free versions will work.

And Phil, we've looked at the bookmark issue quite a lot, but have yet to produce a widget that does it, because there are cross browser compatibility issues. Our general position has been that we will only produce tools that we know will work on all browsers, rather than ones that will only work for some of your visitors. If and when we get a solution we are happy with, we will release it. ;-)

17. On Thu, 24 May 2007, 14:24 by Beridox316

Please let us know when the Youtube option will be fixed for our sites. We really need our videos back.

Thanks Moonfruit for being such a great company to host our web sites!

18. On Fri, 25 May 2007, 02:27 by Jeff

It would be helpful to all of us if there was a "company-site" or display type site showing the NEW WIDGETS in action. I know there are things I've never tried yet and i find some of the things are buried in there. Or if they were coloured differently so we know what is new, newer, ..etc..

Jeff

19. On Fri, 25 May 2007, 11:13 by joe

Hi Jeff, yes, we've had a number of requests for that. We'll try to put something together for some of the new releases, and when we send out our monthly newsletter we'll put a link in that too. Thanks,

Joe

I'm still dissapointed that the Site membership set up is still sitemaker co-branded. In other words, please drop the option on the Site membership sign up area to opt-in to a Sitemaker product offer/sign up offer.

21. On Sat, 26 May 2007, 06:06 by Byronious

All the new updates are great but what about a more robust file/image managment system on sitemaker...one file for all of my sites images make life way more time consuming and challenging.

I hate to seem like a complainer but these sitemaker usability issues that I'm talking about are so basic and would really enhance my Sitemaker experience.

22. On Mon, 28 May 2007, 13:56 by Atlas

Hi Joe,

There's a bug in the comment wigdet, it does not show the latest posted comment on top but somewhere in the middle which is not good as the site visitors may think there are no new comments posted.

Thanks!

Atlas

23. On Tue, 29 May 2007, 09:25 by joe

Hi Byronious, we will be working on a new file manager later in the year, and membership may get an overhaul too.

Atlas, you're quite right, very strange! I'll get the guys to have a look at it. Thanks,

Joe

24. On Wed, 30 May 2007, 00:46 by Byronious

I will pay extra for a workable membership and mailing list option. I would also payextra for a full cms (content managment system) RSS Blog.

25. On Wed, 30 May 2007, 19:19 by Atlas

Hi Joe,

Thanks the bug is fixed now the comment widget is working just fine!

I support what Byronious mentioned, I would love to have a full cms witth RSS blog as my site depends of latest soccer news.

Hi there MF,

The new widgets are great and we have set up both the forward to a friend and comments widgets on our website - great work.
Just one thing we noticed in the test though - the email received by the friend shows the MF URL and not ours (www.mikeypowell-campaign.org.uk). Have I done something wrong or is this another possible future fix?

Great work anyway!

Hi Joe,

There's a scirpt running each time I refresh my site, I think it's caused by the comment widget, please fix this bug.

Thanks!

29. On Sun, 3 Jun 2007, 03:35 by Atlas

Hi MF,

Are all Moonfruit sites down or am i the only one having this problem? Thanks!

30. On Sun, 3 Jun 2007, 18:25 by joe

Hi Atlas, what you do you mean by a script running? What are you seeing that's causing a problem? Thanks,

Joe

31. On Sun, 3 Jun 2007, 19:05 by 4wardeva

Joe,

I'm seeing the same problem as Atlas. When browsing pages sometimes the web page just goes blank only leaving master page elements visible and you have to refresh the site in the browser to get it back.

I left an earlier message about the forward to a friend feature (above).

Thanks

32. On Sun, 3 Jun 2007, 20:52 by Atlas

Hi Joe,

I get an Adobe/flash message that I need to let a script continue or make it stop. And I get this message each time someone leaves a comment on the comment widget. Just look here >>>http://img526.imageshack.us/my.php?...

Thanks

Atlas

33. On Mon, 4 Jun 2007, 13:12 by joe

Hi Atlas, thanks for the info, we'll investigate. Can I ask what computer you are using, including processer speed and RAM?

4wardeva, are you getting the same 'player running slowly' issue as Atlas, or is your issue different?

Joe

34. On Mon, 4 Jun 2007, 14:34 by Steve

The comment widget is great, but I think u MUST allow for the users to delete their own comments if they make a mistake

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Joe,

I am using a Dell pc with processor of 2.40 Ghz and 512 mb RAM.

Atlas

36. On Tue, 5 Jun 2007, 00:48 by 4wardeva

Hello,

Yes, the same as Atlas, only the page also goes blank except for page master elements.

Also, the email received by the friend shows the MF URL and not ours (www.mikeypowell-campaign.org.uk).

Cheers,
Tippa

Ok, Altas/4WardEver, let me send you a mail and we'll try to work out what's going on. Thanks,

Joe

38. On Thu, 7 Jun 2007, 09:08 by Nesey

Is it possible to have the mail to a friend send your own domain name instead of the free one? I would like to make my own domain name the primary one

39. On Thu, 7 Jun 2007, 10:25 by joe

Hi Nesey, yes we're working on that. The probelm is that because sites can have multiple addresses, we're not always sure which one is the primary address. We'll make a change in the next few weeks that will allow you to pick which address is the primary, and hence that one will be used in communications about your site. Thanks,

Joe

40. On Fri, 15 Jun 2007, 17:03 by MJGB

Hey Joe, just been thinking and to capitise on what someone previsouly mentioned, i think you should set up a place on the Moonfruit website, from where people can Post their ideas for nwe widgets and allow MF users to vote on them and so you can learn about the most wanted widgets and work from there. Just a suggestion :). Keep up great work MF
