Folks,

I wish to invite everyone to beta test the new features and enhancements
to the Wildcat! WEB interface at:

http://beta.winserver.com

Email Validation is required to sign up.

We would like to get any comments you have, nits, complaints about any
of the new stuff.

For the most part, this is a big update. However, of course, we are not
in business to "break" your system. So we did everything to make sure we
"ENHANCED IT" and not really changed anything. For example, if you
don't like the new TOP BAR MENU FRAME, you can turn it off (UseTopFrame)
in the template\globalopts.inc file.

The majority enhancement had to do with make it ready for CSS and SKINS
and to give sysops and developers the ability to customize without
losing out any updates (you can use a TEMPLATE\CUSTOM folder to make
your changes).

WCT was greatly enhanced for DHTML programming. The GOTO CLIENT pull
down on the top frame is an example of the dynamic programming as well
as the new Personal Properties layout designed for people to add their
own USER PROPERTIES customization that offers users values to change.

The layout has provided a capability to easily to create a "SYSOP MENU"
for future web-based sysop applications. The system is already prepared
for it.

We added better viewing of large listings with regional scrolling, it
allows you to get the "MENU" for the page at the top for example or the
need to repeat the menu at the bottom. Not all screens have this, but
the mains one do.

A nice progress bar was added to the file upload and developer and
sysops and easily add their progress with a plug and play module. Two
progress bars were provided.

We made it ready for streaming music. In a next update we will change
the file layout a little to ask the user "what kind of file is this?"
or have File Area "types" so that WINS can better decide how to handle
files. We are also going to PEER TO PEER Wildcat systems! to allows
use to share FILES and MAIL CONFERENCES

Anyway, give the beta site a shot when you get a moment and give us a
note of any problems or if you LIKE it, give us a note alway! It tells
us we are doing something right. :-)


Thanks

Look pretty good, but I can't view the chat client/app in web mode, get the [error] msg "Your browser understands the <APPLET> tag but isn't running
the applet, for some reason. Your browser is completely ignoring the
<APPLET> tag!"

I've seen this before, can't remember what I did to correct it. Running IE6 with most recent security updates, chat also is not working for me now at my own wc site. Have site listed in 'trusted' zone, any ideas?

FWIW - I never did really care a lot for the 'original' wildcat default screens,
forgot what they looked like - took me back a ways when logged into the R&D site and saw the nostalic look ;)

Like especially the drop down menu offering, been wanting to do that here for long time, never took time to look into the details; might finally get to it now.
Can multiple dropdowns be used in a single page/frame?

I am also seeing more and more of those ?captcha? images for human verification, is this going to be oofered in updates or is that something external to wins - like to do that with logins and maybe look at verified/authenticated messaging.
