Change Log:
Version 3.7
This version of the Baal smart form upgrades the form input section to a wysiwyg browser. Also includes a patch (update1.php) to correct an issue with how admin posts are ordered in the opposite direction of normal posts. Finally it adds some nice features such as showing the time it takes to generate a page.
Version 3.5
Version 3.5 of the form software corrects most of the font size issues. It also allows for moderators and administrators to edit posts. Allows for the form to be put into free posting mode, where user login is not required to post messages. The administrator also has a few new abilities such as re-sorting the entire form in ascending or descending order, and also customizing the form background color.
Version 3.4
This Version allows the discussion form to be installed multiple times on the same database with table name prefixing. It also allows users to change font size, apply italics, bold. The new system adds support for a moderator, who can delete posts. I also includes a new basic messaging system so users of the message board can send each other private messages.
Version 3.3 corrects problems with posting chars such as '"@! etc.
