I am very impressed with the progress and it puts to shame my efforts of making some sites based on YACS. Hopefully this new version will be motivation to get alteast one of the three sites I have planned to develop with YACS NickR Blog Mon, 11 Jun 2007 20:34:39 GMT http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/article-77-yacs-7.2#comments 2 http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/comments/post.php/article/77 http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/comments/feed.php/article/77 http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A77 http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/article-82-strange-asp.net-session-timeout-issue http://www.ngrhodes.co.uk/article-82-strange-asp.net-session-timeout-issue In asp.net the inproc session is generated from a worker process which is automatically recycled after 20 minutes.

I struggled to find a single example on the web that worked in IE and Firefox and was simple/generic to implement, so I can up with my own solution, using some elegant css and a black image for the drop shadow itself. What I have done is modified the source, html and css into YACS friendly code (based on the Digital skin) and would make an easy to create YACS skin.
