Added an Audio & Video
Clip application which allows users
to upload audio and video clips. Users
can rate and review clips. The 'Review'
component utilizes a modified rich
text editor (KevinRoth.com).
The functionality is similar to
the 'Jokes' application (Same images
and similar Categories and SubCategories).
Four new tables were added to the ipopper.net database.
This application uses the Contractible
Headers navigation script (dynamicdrive.com).
The name of the 'Directory' application
was changed to 'Directory Links'
and the name of the 'Picture Voting'
application was changed to 'Picture
Rating'. All pages within these directories
as well as the navigation files were
updated accordingly

Issues:
- Remove the 'UserAds' column
from the 'tblUsers' table
and add it to the 'tblAds'
table where it belongs. This
really doesn't effect anything
- but best for consistency
reasons.
- Add a JavaScript that hides
members email addresses from
spammers
- Add a ASP text file session
counter to each module
- Add a confirm box for every
delete action
- Develop a BLOG application
- Develop a Classmates application
- Sys Admin - allow administrator
to delete more than one ad
at a time
- Add a JavaScript to change
initial values of Avatar
and Country pick lists at
register page
- Search word highlight
- Get a Life
