MP2KMAG SITE ENHANCEMENTS
Last month
we announced a replacement for our old Q/A section. The new forum offers
optional registration, a "watch" feature, the ability to edit your own posts,
and much more. Join in here: http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/discussion/viewforum.asp?f=2
In
the meantime, we migrated all of the old questions and answers into a new
searchable archive: http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/discussion/viewforum.asp?f=4.
Previously, it was tedious, if not nearly impossible, to scan all of the old
content. Just click on search to use the full search options.
The
Wishlist now links to a forum devoted to MapPoint development requests and
related queries. Also, there is now a link at the bottom of each article for
comments and updates. Participate in the new forums at: http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/discussion/
Finally,
consider writing for us. A description of a recent solution or project you've
worked on, an innovative code sample, a tutorial, anything is welcome and will
be reviewed and edited for publication. Join the ranks of the MP2K Authors: http://www.mp2kmag.com/about.asp?p=authors.
Archives
of the MP2K Update are available on-line at http://www.mp2kmag.com/update. Contact
adsales@mp2kmag.com for advertising and
sponsorship opportunities.
