(11/01/21) [3nd RELEASE]
Updates with JavaScript, and AJAX: Now you can post/edit/delete a reply or thread, without redirecting you to another page. Conversations or PM's also don't require a page redirect, making it feel like a modern message app. The login button now is a pop out without redirecting you to the login page. This all makes the site feel like a modern Single Page Application. See TODO.txt for other changes/fixes (are indented and prefixed with a *). Changes/fixes to come are not indented.
(10/14/21) [2nd RELEASE]
This site has been updated using JavaScript for various transitions and animations that I've also posted on my GitHub. It includes synesthesia-font, a scroll line effect that changes colors, a cube that rotates and the mouse pointer that changes color as the users moves the mouse. The signup page has been updated using AJAX (uses jQuery for web compatibility) to notify the user that a username has been taken (without refreshing the page), and passwords don't match, etc. There have been various other changes and improvements to the site. Mostly changes on the front-end of the site. More updates to come.
