This past weekend I added a direct link to the FVA FTP server via the members menu. The FVA FTP server is hosted by Jimmy Schroering, developer of the free demultiplexing software program Camsort and member of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. This extremely valuable FVA community resource was originally provided by Brad Doell, administrator of the FVA List-serv. Speaking of which, I moved the link to the FVA list-serv from the Quick Menu to the main Member Menu this weekend as well. Many thanks to both Jimmy and Brad for providing these services over the years, as well as permitting me to include them in the Media-Geek.com members area.
Additionally, I made some changes to a few script calls that should resolve most of the IE6 issues with accessing the Media-Geek.com Video Library. There are a few other minor IE6 related issues to address, most related to the use of transparent PNG files, which I hope to get to next weekend. As always, should you come across any issues or have any recommendations for the members area, please don't hesitate to post them to the Media-Geek.com Forums or shoot me a PM. Thanks for participating!
