A couple bugs have been found and fixed. The thread statistics were not being updated properly when someone replied or deleted a post. Also, we are now officially doing beta testing and have 3 beta testers on staff! In the next few weeks we will get about a dozen volunteer beta testers to help out.

There have been many cosmetic changes to the site. The menu system has been reordered to match how a user would most likely navigate through the site.

The discussion forum is fully operational and has many added features which I didnt want to bother with at first. However, I just couldnt resist. There are a couple of statistic reports which are active but need some data before I can clean them up. I have made a few changes to the signup form. I have no need for most of the contact information that was required, so I removed and replaced them with survey questions which will make for some great anonymous user statistics in the future. Well be able to see how females progress compared to males and which age groups progress faster or if any of this is relevant at all.

Its been a while since Ive had a chance to work on the site. I have added a discussion web to the site which hopefully will make for good conversation. The component is complete and ready to be debugged. Some modifications to the component web page are needed before the site can go live.

I went to Microsoft Dev Days and now have ideas for future versions of ProLobe. The .NET framework would allow me to create a web component which uses web services to communicate through XML with a database dynamically. Its pretty slick! Also I wouldnt have to sign the component since the .NET framework uses a multi-level security model for web components. Although Im not sure if .NET allows web components to use the WIN32 MIDI APIs.

A web page is finally starting to take shape. The ActiveX controls interface has new properties for reading a users lesson statistics. These will be used to submit the users lesson to the database.

The ActiveX control now accepts commands through its interface. Note and Octave Levels can be set by properties and the MIDI configuration can be set inside the control.

Today the user signup form was completed. Email Activation is working (however my SMTP server is sending two copies of each message). Also I have designed a course syllabus which outlines the user levels. The ActiveX control can now be configured from the syllabus dynamically.

I have a working ActiveX control which provides access to the users MIDI setup via the WIN32 API. Some additional design is needed to allow for feedback from the ProLobe control into a database.
