[Zope] ANN: ZUBB / ZDiscussions 0.7.0 Released

[Peter Bengtsson]

Great!!! install I will.
Good work. Here are some tips on the usability.

- Remove the "Preview message" checkbox and create two submitbuttons instead.
   One called "Preview before posting" and one "Post message"

- Don't display the "last post" attribute when listing all posts. Who cares? 
Plus, removing it makes the look cleaner och simpler.

- instead of the "NT" gif, write "no text" on a gif or as text in brackets

- Don't show "Date: Jan 1, 2002 9:33 am". Show "Jan 1, 2002 9:33 am" Because 
anybody can understand that that piece of string is the date the post was 
submitted.

- when listing postings, why don't display the date like you do when you 
click one posting

- instead of the little folder icon in the list, can you not do something 
like they do on PHPBuilder (http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/list.php3?num=2)


Cheers! Peter
