Hi,
The final version of FUDforum 2.8.1 is now available and ready for you to download. Besides the impressive array of new features introduced with the first RC release, this release features:
* Better seed data for newly installed forums;
* Two new experimental themes, user_info_left and user_info_right;
* Context sensitive help for all Admin Control Panel pages;
* Ability to skip search index data when backing-up or restoring a forum;
* An LDAP authentication plug-in;
* PostgresQL and SQLite fixes;
* Minor UTF-8 and E-mail enhancements; and
* Various other small usability fixes.
For a full list of changes, refer to the change log at http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/timeline
We recently also introduced FUDforum2Go, a pre-installed, self-contained and compact version of FUDforum that can run from a USB stick or CD-Rom. More information about this exciting new addition is available at http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=118447
Also note that this is the last release that will support both PHP4 and PHP5. All future releases will only support PHP5 and higher versions.
If you haven't upgraded your forum to FUDforum 2.8.x yet, we highly recommend you do so right now!
Best regards.
Frank

There is a lot of merit to this idea.
I have used comments in my headers and CSS since I found out what they were, but have been less than satisfied with the result (other than that it is a simple way to annotate some notes for reference sake). Other methods of annotating what each variable or section does, or applies to such as THIS "biggest hammer approach" have not worked to my satisfaction either.
And unfortunately none of the word processors tried seem to have the functionality to easily remove various comments with out retyping each one, so kerryg's suggestion for a Wiki entry with such comments appeals to me a lot!
Naudefj has already made great strides in improving the usability and user friendly aspects of fudforum and available documentation and it looks like it will only get better from here on so I am not seeing a downside here.
