Thanks to Haggis’s email I was notified the dev blog was throwing up an error because i had made some changes to the top menu file and didn’t remember to account for it in the blog. That has been fixed and the sidebar has been changed to be more in line with the main site’s sidebar. Things are progressing very well with the new system. I have very happy with what we have so far. In the coming weeks I hope to add some of the new features I’ve had in mind for a long time. Hope everyone enjoys the new look and keep and eye out for more.
I have updated the dev blog theme to match the current beta version of the site. There are still a few links to work out and then I plan on starting the theme for the forum. Hopefully once finished it will all look pretty much identical. Hope everyone will enjoy the new site. There will be several new features launched once I get everything in place. As always your comments and ideas are most welcome.
Due to the upcoming release of IPB v3, I have been creating a new layout for tg007.net. I wanted something a little more cleaner and faster. I took a less graphics intense approach this time.
So far the progress has gone well and the people that have seen the layout have had mostly good things to say. If you are reading this you have no doubt noticed that the layout for the dev blog has changed as well. This is more inline with the new layout I am working on for the main site.
There is still lots to be done and I will try to keep the few people that actually read this updated on the progress 
. So if you are interested in what the new site will look like, then I would suggest checking into the dev blog once in awhile.
I ran across this php script while searching for ways to repair my truncation script. I was having a bit of trouble with break tags being cut off and messing up the site validation. I used the idea from this script to fix that. Hope it helps others.
<?php function truncate
($text,$numb) {
$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES);
if (strlen($text) >
; $numb) {
$text = substr($text, 0
, $numb);
$text = substr($text,0
,strrpos($text," "));
//This strips the full stop:
if ((substr($text, -1)) == ".") {
$text = substr($text,0
,(strrpos($text,".")));
}
$etc = "…";
$text = $text.$etc;
}
$text = htmlentities($text, ENT_QUOTES);
return $text;
}
//Call function
truncate
($text, 75
);
?>
