  Yo there,
  
  As you might know already, PHPNuke 6.0 is out... FB had added some nice features that I believe we should incorporate into PostNuke...
  
  For a full list of new features, follow this link
  
  :arrow: Added a new feature that sends an email when a banner finnish its impressions.
  :arrow: Changed all administration menu graphics, now are also theme sensitive and activated by default.
  Added a nice feature to let you have custom modules by theme. This means that you can have a totaly 100% different modules for each theme. How? Just create a "modules" directory inside a theme's directory and copy your new modules there. For example: If you want the theme NukeNews to have its own custom News module, you need to have a directory "/themes/NukeNews/modules/News" and the News replace on it. The system will automaticaly detect and load it instead of the default "/modules/News". Remember to fix all your path in the module files. See Sand_Journey theme directory for an example with Addon_Sample module.
  :arrow: PHP-Nuke now works 100% with register_globals variable in php.ini set to On or Off. This solves the users and admin loops also.
  - Added a new feature to let you decide if you want a module's name and link will be visible in Modules block
  :arrow: Now each theme can load its own default home module. Just create a module.php file under the theme's directory with the variable $default_module on it. For an example please see Sand_Journey theme. It loads News module. Try changing the default home module from administration and notice that the News module continues to be loaded in the homepage only for this theme. If you don't want to have or use this feature just don't have any module.php file in your theme's directory.
  Improved functionality on backend.php with the addition to select the site's categories if they exists. You can still use as usual, or you can call it like: http://yoursite.com/backend.php?cat=themes
  The above URL will show the XML formated file only with "themes" category. Note the variable "cat". So now people from other sites can retrieve from your site only the news they have really interest in.
  Of course that this feature will works only if you have set one or more news categories for your site.
  :arrow: Added new feature to have theme sensitive topic's graphics (in /themes/your_theme/images/topics/). Default topics
  graphics need to be on usual place (/images/topics/) but if the system find the existence of the files in the theme's images directory it will show it instead. This was higly requested feature. Themes files need to be modified to have this feature working. Please look at the included themes to have some samples.
  :arrow: Added support for favicon.ico for new browsers (just put favicon.ico file in /themes/your_theme/images/ directory)
  :arrow: Changed all default icons for users page in Your_Account module. Not only that, but each theme can have different icons for user's menu and WebMail if the graphics files exists and if not the system will
  load the default graphics.
  :arrow: Added a new link metatag to configure the browser icon for your site. To have it working you need to have a file called favicon.ico inside /themes/your_theme/images/ directory.
  :arrow: Added Private Messages button/link in Your_Account user's page.
  :arrow: Added a new feature that lets you have decoration in the Survey bars. In theme/Your_Theme/images directory you can have three more files: survey_leftbar.gif, survey_mainbar.gif and survey_rightbar.gif If you don't have them the system automaticaly selects the usual bars files (leftbar.gif, mainbar.gif and rightbar.gif). Additionaly you can have another file called "survey_mainbar_d.gif" (see the "_d"). This graphic, if exists, will be added each 25% in the survey bar. This can help you to decorate your Survey bars. Statistics bars are the usual ones. Try it!
  :arrow: Added a new feature called My Headlines for registered users. From the user's page anyone can read headlines of a selected site from a drop down list. Very nice and usefull for your users.
