Welcome to the NEW LOOK DPR

Phew! - Welcome to the new single paged (no frames) Digital Photography Review. It's been a long job but I've finally converted all the previously framed pages in the site to non-framed, in the process I've streamlined alot of the back-end database design and associated scripts.

Here's a quick run-down of the changes:

• Removal of frames to a single-page approach (all pages in site) - easier to bookmark particular parts of the site, better for search engines, faster loading, more browser compatible
• Conversion of ALL reviews to standard review format
• Ability to get a printable version from glossary entries and news articles (review printing coming soon)
• Better linking of news articles to forum entries
• Updated glossary now database driven
• Re-written comparison and side-by-side engine (better performance)
• Cleaned up forums (inc. bug fixes)
• Reduced use of graphics, reduced all graphic sizes (faster loading)
• Ability to view a full months news articles at a time
• Cleaner design sidebar
• Removal of old galleries and articles (spring clean...)
• And much more... (which you're unlikely to _see_ as it's backend, but you should _feel_ it in better performance)

Enjoy!
