LearnJazzPiano.com massive site update thread

For anyone who's been here before, you are looking at a system that has basically been rebuilt, recoded, and rescripted from the ground up.

Phase 1 has been in the works since, oh... sometime in April I'm guessing. I did most of the work while I was in Hong Kong, then when I got back at the beginning of July I stepped away from it for two and a half months. Two days ago I said, "Time to put the new stuff up." and now here we are.

Anyway, Phase 1 is complete. The system is good enough to go even with various limitations, inconsistencies, and probably bugs scattered around.

The Phase 2 list is already pretty big, but if you have any questions, comments, bug reports, anb/or feature requests, let me know.

In the mean time, enjoy and be sure to use the social features for any article or post you think is cool!

If I'm not back in 24 hours, call the president.

Known Bug/Phase 2 feature

Yes, I do know that file rooms do not have file directories yet. This will be fixed soon. All the files are still linked to various rooms (I think) so it shouldn't be a problem (providing what I think is correct.) If not, I'll figure something out. In the meantime you can always visit the jazz piano files page in the "other links and resources" below and to the right.

Looking good! I still remember the original forum layout somewhere in the back of my skull. Nice to finally see the 3.0 facelift :)
