# New board code?
What's new?? Please tell me. I'm bored writing BORING email virus scanning software.

# it's a smaller size (in data, not messages) ...
... to lower our bandwidth usage slightly.

# Using Javascript stuff?
Or just better HTML?

# using less javascript ...
... and more server side code.

# Ah....
... My cunning plan for reducing the bandwidth of me message board was using java script to output the posts....

e.g.

Instead of going

[table]
[tr][td]Subject[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Message[/td][/tr]
[/table]

I could just call a JS function which outputs the table

ShowMessage(postid, "Subject", "Message");

Or something like that. Haven't done it yet... but it might work. :)

# sounds interesting
you should try it.

# Also...
You could apply the class to the table, instead of using a div... that would save about 1k :)

# There's now a button on the message board
that says 'go to message board'.
