Quiet day on the home front today as I spent some time having a bit of a break - been a bit tired these last few days and no wonder, as I calculated the hours I've been putting in lately- but have seen some builds coming through and plenty of action in the core team forum as the upgrade path is tested.

What I did find was what some call bugs, is actually something by design - here is what I mean -
The copy feature - allows you to copy content from one page to another - eg.. I copy content from page 1 to page 2 because I've already set the page layout up and like the way it works.  My interpretation of copy content is just that.. copied the content.

But what happens is that the content is in fact mirrored or shadowed (if you're used to that technology) and when you change content in Page 1, it's changed in Page 2.  Now that took me a bit of working out becuase when I modified a page, I might do a couple of things, and then go back to it, but kept finding subtle changes, and thought I was on different pages, and it was very confusing, till it clicked - the integrity of the content was being carried through to the other pages.

Well, it's not a bug, it's by design, one of those quirky things, but I think we'll find that might be changed, not in this release, to my knowledge, but something worth revisiting as I'm sure it's going to be a popular feature of DNN and for some of us, not quite work with how we think.

So, not much to say, but as I said - I'd make an effort every day - to have a little bit to say.

Cheers from Nina
