Major codebase upgrade
This weekend we performed a major upgrade to FF’s codebase and I’m happy to report that things went according to plan (phew!). You won’t notice most of the changes because the main purpose of the upgrade was to lay the groundwork we’ll use to deliver advanced features and applications in the future.
The few front-end modifications that you’ll notice include:
Large image attachments are now displayed via Lightbox technology (click on any post’s chart thumbnail to see it in action).
Your member profile now has privacy options.
Your Buddy List and Ignore List are now on two different pages, and have a slightly altered layout.
Member profile comments have a new look and utilize Ajax.
Given this upgrade was a radical change to FF’s source we expect to be finding and fixing bugs for the next week. If you notice anything acting funny please comment or contact us.

The lightbox thingy is super great ! Thanks Scot
I don't know if it is for the upgrade, but every time i try to post to the thread I started ("4H Strategy with RSX and Murrey Math" under Trading Systems) I'm stopped from this message: " 1. You are required to wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 30 seconds." I tryed to wait 2 hours and then again the message. I f try to post on another thread I have no problems!!! Thanks.
You recently changed the way screenshot attachments are handled. Now, the poster can no longer see how the post will look with the screenshot attachment until AFTER it is posted. The old method enabled a preview of the post BEFORE it was posted. This fine feature is lost now. Also, the new method of handling screenshots looks terrible and takes an extra step to get past the first mess that comes up! Please, this was not an improvement, and you should go back to the way things were.
Its already a year have passed and it doesnt allow to post a new message from FireFox browser. Shame on you
