7.5.10 Progress Report: "The Six Million Dollar Man" Edition.

This bit of progress mostly focused on adding a few new features, tweaking the current ones, and general cleaning up before moving forward again.

The most notable items are the "Signature Display" options and the Suhosin details page. James Corthell (Gizmo) has put a lot of time and work in to implementing this Suhosin checks and details feature.

NOTICE: At the time of this post, UBB.threads 7.5.10 is very much still work in progress. This current code will change several more times before being published to the Members area of http://ubbcentral.com. This *WORK IN PROGRESS* code is not available for download or purchase. This series of progress reports is being made public to share the development progress on UBB.threads. Items may be pulled from the final release or may be reworked to have a different presentation than what is depicted in this post. This is very much WORK IN PROGRESS and not by any means "final."
It was funny, I was all "Hey Isaac, I'm working on improving that little Suhosin notice that we put in 7.5.9"; three days later I show him what I've been working on, with a full status page display with recommendations and current variables listed, with green/blue/red indicators as to the status...

I don't think he was prepared for the amount of work I put in for such a small issue that affects so little of the user base; but as always, I believe one vocal members echos the cries of hundreds of silent ones.
Sending Pat on the back !!
