Although things may seem quite here recently at Web Wiz allot has been happening behind the scenes, including Web Wiz Forums version 9 development, a new website with searchable knowledgebase, improved install documentation, online client area, and a new product called Web Wiz NewsPad.
We hope to release a beta version of NewsPad within the next few weeks. The software allows you to post news bulletins to you web site and RRS Feeds as well as sending out email Newsletters to your subscribers.
What should interest Web Wiz Forums users is that NewsPad will have full integration with Web Wiz Forums allowing you to create and send eNewsletters to your Web Wiz Forums members. These can even be group specific and also allow you to send in batches for those who have limits of the number of emails they can send through their hosts systems in a given time frame.
This means that Web Wiz Forums users will now be able to enjoy keeping in contact with all their members via email using fully fledged Newsletter software and you can even use mail merge tools to customise your Newsletters to your members.

The launch of Web Wiz NewsPad has been delayed slightly due to issues with the AJAX method of sending Newsletters coursed the browser to freeze up under heavy load, so had to be redeveloped.
We have also taken this time to add more tools such as database and CSV import of subscribers.
With tight Web Wiz Forums integration Web Wiz NewsPad can be used as a Web Wiz Forums Add-on to send Newsletters to your Web Wiz Forums members. It can also be used as a standalone Newsletter and News Bulltin software for your site, with you able to not only send Newsletters but also post News Bulletins to your site with RSS Feeds as well as email subscriptions.
Web Wiz NewsPad is in it's final stage of testing and should and we should have beta 1 released very soon.
The beta release will have no limitation's so you can test it out by sending Newsletters to your Web Wiz Forums members, this can be done on a group biases so you can send different Newsletters to different groups.

It may seem to many that not allot has been happening so far this year, but I can assure you we have been working harder than ever.
Within the next 6 to 12 weeks we will be launching a new web site, with searchable knowledgebase, improved documentation, and an online client area.
At the same time we will also be launching new major releases of ALL our software including Web Wiz Forums version 9, Web Wiz RTE version 4, and Web Wiz NewsPad version 1.

Within the next 2 to 3 weeks we are hoping to have a pubic demo of version 9 of Web Wiz Forums. This will not be a complete version but will allow users to report back any issues with the new AJAX and DHTML interface. Below is a quick preview of the new options menu which includes drop down menus. In the picture you can see a drop down preview of the events calendar which uses AJAX for improved performance.

The final testing of Web Wiz Forums version 9 is being carried out today and if all goes well a beta version will be released tomorrow for download and testing.
Later today we will be updating this site to use only Web Wiz Forums version 9 so that we are able to test the forum in a live environment to iron out any bugs that have not come to light in testing.
