Version 1.17 beta 34: Updated the way it deals with rogue ANSI codes that seem to be added to certain messages (including cursor movement characters) which probably weren't intended to be there, which can mess up the display of messages when using the scrolling interface.

Version 0.17 beta: Updated one of the error messages, and made a screen drawing optimization when viewing poll results

Version 0.16 beta: Added a main menu option to display poll stats - Lists the polls by highest number of votes (highest first), and for each one, lists the answer(s) with the highest number of votes (highest first).

Version 1.17 beta 33: Improved to better handle message text that starts with "By <name> to <name> on <date>" - Some of those messages have ANSI codes (such as cursor movement codes, etc.) in that part of the text, which can mess up the display of the message when using the scrolling interface.

Version 1.17 beta 32: Fix for some (new) instances where it wasn't checking the sub-board code to see if it was "mail" before checking the can_read property

Added a revision history note for version 1.17 (even though it's still in 'beta').  Also, updated the readme to include some notes on voting, and added a list of lines from text.dat used by the reader.

Version 1.17 beta 31: Added some checks to ensure the user won't be able to read a sub-board if they don't have permission to (if the sub-board's can_read property is false).

Added a section with notes for sysops, which explains where to delete polls from within SlyVote and which text lines from text.dat are used in SlyVote.

Version 0.15 beta: If there is more than one topic area (sub-board) configured, a menu option will be added to change the topic area.  Also, now it actually loads text.js so that references to text line definition variables will work properly.  Also, it now checks whether the user can post & read messages in the sub-board before allowing the user to vote & view results.

Version 1.17 beta 30: Made an update that should (hopefully) fix a message number error when a new user does a newscan for the first time (I thought I had fixed that some time ago, but it looks like I didn't fix it for all cases).

When getting the message text, now checks if it's reading personal email before checking if it's a moderated message area, avoiding an 'undefined' error.  This would more than likely not happen with SlyVote though..

Bug fix: When getting the message text, now checks if it's reading personal email before checking if it's a moderated message area, avoiding an 'undefined' error.

Version 0.13 beta: Added support for validating messages in moderated areas. It seems it's using the wrong message number though, which will need to be fixed..

Started working on a way to validate a message in a sub-board where the message requires moderation.  Doesn't seem to be successfully saving the updated message header though.

Improved the look of the sub-board chooser menu when SlyVote starts by displaying the SlyVote stylized text and the vertical bars around the menu.  Also, added a help screen for the result viewer mode.

Bug fix: Unknown variable referenced when reading poll results and the user tries to vote on one when they've already voted on it.

Now displays the topic area (message sub-board) on the main screen.  Also, updated the "vote on all topics" feature to display the topic number and total number of topics.

When voting on a topic, made the subject/question centered and in bright green to set it apart.  Also, added an ESC=Quit text in the lower left when voting on a topic to let the user know they can quit out of voting on a topic.

Version 1.17 beta 25: Refactored the newscan code a bit (removed some code duplication).  Should not affect the behavior.

Added message filtering (based on whether the message is deleted, whether it needs validation, etc.) when getting message headers

In the poll result viewer mode, SlyVote now allows the user to type a poll number to go directly to it.  Also, in the poll result viewer mode, added the ability for the sysop to delete the poll message currently being viewed.

Version 1.17 beta 24: Implemented an update for message newscans which should (hopefully) fix the bug where the correct last read/newscan message wasn't being used.  Now it should hopefully show the correct first unread message during a newscan.

Bug fix: When voting on a poll using the lightbar menu, it now saves the correct option chosen by the user.

When viewing vote poll results, it now updates the user's last read & scan pointers.  Also, it now determines the initial message index to use based on the user's last read pointer.

When creating a Frame object (for viewing & scrolling ANSI messages), it now removes the HIGH attribute from the default frame attributes.

Bug fix: When posting a poll, now it makes sure the user's sub-board is correct.  Also, now it correctly handles the user quitting out of a couple menus with the ESC key (making no choice).

Added the ability to vote on a topic from the result viewer interface.  Also, updated the documentation a bit.
SlyVote now has just enough functionality to be a useful voting both door, but I still want to add & update a few things.  I want to implement the "Answer all topics" functionality, add the ability in the result viewer to type a topic number and jump to it, add the ability for sysops to delete voting topics (poll messages) from SlyVote, and also improve some of the screen displays a bit.  I might also possibly add a help/informational screen.

On second thought, Frame.clear() will probably just be changed and my previous commit is unnecessary.

In ViewVoteResults, call Frame.cleardata before dumping new content into the Frame.  This effectively resets Frame.data_width and Frame.data_height, which ScrollBar uses in its calculations.

Worked on displaying the vote results - Got the poll result colors showing correctly in the frame and enabled frame scrolling and navigation between the poll result messages.  There are still some things remaining, such as enabling voting on a poll from the "view results" view, going directly to a poll message by typing in its number, and voting on all polls.
