Some time soon we'll desperately need a full features list. Here's what I've (com)piled  .

Now you have been keeping yourself busy!!! The list looks perfect to me. The only thing I would change (personal preference) is numbering each item. I've found that makes discussing app upgrade lists easier. While I'm on it, for item 12 of ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES, SQL2005 has a new image data type (or revamped?). Since virus(s) can now travel via images, my boss has had me move all filesystem images into the database for security. Wouldn't that be a good idea here? BTW...2 weeks in Italy...forgot the sunscreen!!!!  .....the man in black fled across the desert..........and the gunslinger followed.....

Very nice! Shouldn't be hard to create a simple HTML page that lists what you've got above!!! You could add it as a (hard coded) button to main menu!! .....the man in black fled across the desert..........and the gunslinger followed.....

Stickied so this doesn't get lost in the ether....  "It's a case of RTFM.. the only problem being we don't have a manual!" When I post FP:Mek in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Ederon  )

As a new user of YAF, I'd like to suggest we (I'm including myself here) begin documentation/user guides for each of these features. This is clearly an excellent forum, but it is lacking documentation on use and administration of these features. I don't propose that this get done this week, or month, but that we just pick a feature and begin the docs.

We've been sorely lacking documentation for a good while, please feel free to contribute its why we have a wiki "It's a case of RTFM.. the only problem being we don't have a manual!"

Hi,
Is there any way to embed objects or upload videos in the posts.
I tried putting <object> tag in the post after adding this tag in the accepted list of html tags from host settings but it doesn't accepts it. Rather post it as simple text.
If there is any way then is is it controllable through host/admin settings?
Thanks
Nav

Ummmm.... i didn't try 1.9.3 yet, if these features are availabe then it is really great. But if someone is using 1.9.1.6 then the documentation would be helpfull. As i have developed these features in 1.9.1.6 , anyway i'll try 1.9.3 as well. I must appreciate all the people who are contributing in these best .net forums CheERS!!
