New website for FNN
The new FNN website is here! Yes, yes, it is. And it combines a modern look and feel with a feature-set tailored exactly to the needs of Sixth Fleet. As soon as an article is published, an email is sent to the chat list of each simulation, with an excerpt of the article and a link to the full feature on this website. Additionally, administrators can send newsletters to the chat lists.
Users can register and comment on articles, editors can write and edit their own articles, and administrators can edit every editor's article and manage users, categories and simulations. Articles can be flexibly categorised - filed under one or more categories, and/or assigned to one or more specific simulations.

Tue March 9th 2010 7:09pm The forms still have their butt-ugly default look - I'm going to have to work some CSS magic and make them pretty.

So Microsoft is above implementing "white-space: nowrap" properly. But because they are also above implementing CSS 3, I was able to fix that (exclude IE) by using a proper CSS 3 expression for it. Silly world.

The CSS seems cleaner that way.

Thu March 11th 2010 10:27pm Found a bug when editing a simulation entry. Keeping the name and changing the email gives me "name already exists" <.< Will fix that before the weekend.

Sat March 20th 2010 3:32pm Alright. After a couple bug fixes and last-minute feature additions over the past week, I've added some CSS for the navigation - it should be sufficiently pretty now.
