I ended up making a database change in the next update to Gamehawk, and 
since we're live it's going to need to be an actual release/upgrade to 
move to it.  That will happen in the next day or two; downtime should be 
almost nonexistent.

Aside from that, most of the changes are to the templates, which sounds 
rather trivial.  However, one of Gamehawk's strengths is its templating, 
which enables things to be heavily customized without requiring code 
changes - and while everything's falling through to the site default, 
templates are customizable down to the topic level.

But this strength also means that if the template doesn't incorporate 
something, it's not available - and I've been leaving the templates for 
last figuring we'd end up with someone HTML-specific on the development 
team, which hasn't happened so far.  So the current templates are really 
just placeholders, and don't expose the full power of Gamehawk. The next 
release will do quite a bit more of that.

This will mean properly-ordered (and indented) threading, which will be a 
significant usability improvement all by itself.  And I'll fix the menu, 
which has really just been a placeholder.

At some point in the process, I'll get the password creator opened up, so 
that non-Stakeholders can log in... this also improves usability, though 
the next version will also recognize return guests (provided they allow 
cookies) thereby enabling "read new since my last visit" type functions 
even if you don't register.

Once the upgrade is done, we'll be ready to bring the archives over for 
all the other Phoenyx lists (yes, visitors, there are a lot more than 
five... visit http://www.phoenyx.net/pbemlist.html for the old PBeM List).
