Image comments in latest release and other stuff...

The image comment feature which I had been working on got pushed out in today's release. Stephen mentioned to me that a lot of our users were asking about this prior to my arrival at Guild Launch and I'm glad that I've been able to take a feature request off the list. Rather than having the page reload after each comment, we decided that using AJAX would be the best approach and having not worked too much with AJAX before, it seem rather straight forward. Really looking forward to using more AJAX in the upcoming projects.

Speaking of upcoming projects...I am getting the plans laid out for LOTRO sigs. There were a lot of things that I learned with the release of siglaunch.com, both good and bad. The plan is to build/tweak on the existing code base for WoW sigs so that creating LOTRO sigs or any other sigs will be a breeze. Incorporating PHP classes into our existing code is also on the horizion and some of the code that I've written has already been using classes.

So keep your eyes and ears open regarding news on LOTRO sigs and other cool stuff coming out.
