After 5 months of downtime, I'd like to welcome everyone back to version 11. Aside from some visual changes, there has been a lot going on under the hood. The main feature is site-wide mobile compatibility. Instead of creating a shadow mobile site, I've allowed the main site to automatically adapt to the screen size and function appropriately. Image upload should be much better now as you can drag and drop. This goes for forum posts, collections, and the database. A huge amount of work went into the database maintenance forms, so if you are inclined to help out, those will be much easier to use now.
Collection items can now be added without bouncing to a form (although that option still exists if desired). There's a few other things that I need to finish up, but I'd never go live if I was waiting for anything to be truly done.
Some more detailed changes that are visible. There are 200+ that are not visible, but help the place function a little better.
General:
-Implemented adaptive design so the site shrinks/reorganizes based on screen size, thus eliminating the need for duplication of effort on a mobile friendly view.
-Converted icons to SVG format so they look better on all devices.
-Converted clickable DIV tags to links, so they can be opened in new windows if the purpose is navigation.
-Date fields should use the browser datepicker interface
-Moved javscript functions to a .js file
-Added soft login on server side pages to avoid the blank user problem
Front Page:
-Add Static Splash section for the most important items

Menu:
-Converted 2x3 panel to just 4 buttons with a drop down
-Added Database and Forum body menu on mobile for quick access

-Added message ID anchor to notification link so users go directly to post in question.
-Added height restrictions to Mail and Noti based on max screen size (reference main menu scroller)
-Tweaked height restriction at several points so it never grows past the screen. Scrolling might be good even in desktop view too, since the reply screen can be large.
