Announcing: Imdiscog.com version 4.0

I knew at some point when the web site went live a few years ago that I'd have to upgrade it's parts every so often as technology changes. Well, it's time for a new version.

I don't plan on releasing a beta of the site. When it's ready it will go live. But if there's something you'd like to see changed/added/removed or if you have a comment feel free to speak up.

Here's a quick list of some of the changes/non-changes i'm working on:

1) the discography will no longer be segmented into years. from herein it will be segmented into release types: albums, singles, compilations, etc. This will require updating old news article links that will become non-working once this switch is made.
2) new graphics
3) navigation menu will become horizontal and have text rollovers instead of graphic buttons.
4) the forum and gallery will likely not change at this time.
5) the downloading user db will likely be wiped again for sercurity purposes. re-registration will be required unless I can figure out how to combine (if at all possible) all three user registration dbs.
6) I'd like to make it easier to find/view IM related videos results from sites such as youtube.
7) the html coding is being cleaned up as best I can to allow for faster loading for slower connections.
8 ) I hope to make PDF versions of the discography available for download as the previous print functions were tedious to maintain and didn't always work well. I've tested the transfer from html-to-PDF and it finally works as intended. But in order to make this transfer I need to raise $270 for the software. I don't know if this feature would be important to a lot of you or not, but it's a possibility.

So far this is all I have. Not a whole lot of changes, but they are coming... most likely within the next two weeks depending on how fast I can get the work done. I'll update this post with any other updates as needed.
