Pain in the butt, but the upgrade to 5.1 is done with minimal huhu and the site was only down for 25 minutes or so. Sorry if this bit you. :)

S'all Right, Erin
So, what do we get now? This is almost as good as Christmas!

Higher security for the moment
5.1 was a bugfix and security upgrade. But I've got some new goodies to install over the weekend. No peeking until I see if they work. :) Oh, one new thing, in the left hand column there should now be a |Categories| link to list all the current categories on BC. :)

Yes, thanks
Yes, it's there and seems to work fine. I also took a look at the Directory and that's a bit odd. Just what is the ordering (if any) for that?
Now, you mentioned awhile back I should remind you to make a larger input box for the PMs when you upgraded. Consider yourself officially reminded.

Directory
Yeah, I have to think that scrambled order is a bug. Maybe they're in order of most recent update? Or? I dunno. :)
PM window? I'll take a look. :)

Some new features
The links menu is back in the header to the front page and you can now add links to the links page. Unfortunately, a lot of the links in the links page got broken in the move. I'm fixing them when and as I get to it.
Also back is the 100 comments link and the RSS Feed, now called FEED since RSS seemed to scare some people. :)
There's now a link in the top menu to bring up a list of authors, too. And the |Stories| link is gone until I can make it behave differently from the |Home| link.

New Capability - Write your own category
Now in the fiction, wysiwyg, title page and story content types, you'll find a new box between TG Themes and TG Elements called TG Other Keywords. This is a blank field where you can write your own categories that immediately become searchable keywords like all the other categories here at BCTS99. :) You can enter multiple new keywords by separating them with commas. People who use the same new keyword, as long as they spell it the same way, will find their stories grouped with similar stories when someone clicks on the new keyword or uses it in a search.
Now if the categories provided by the system don't completely categorize (or categorise :)) your story to your satisfaction, you have a remedy. You can even go back and add new categories to old stories. Warning on that though, for some stories moved from OTS, you may find some difficulties in editing because of the different way teasers work now.

Awesome
I can see vast possibilities, thanks, Erin!
