Updates for September, 2021
Greetings everyone!

I've successfully been working with someone on updating our marketplace plugin EZTrader with two major improvements:

1. Now it uses proper templating, which makes maintenance of the code easier. 

2. There is now input validation on the feedback form, so it doesn't rely on MariaDB's SQL parser to sanitize inputs. This will now provide error messages preventing SQL errors from incorrect field inputs.

This may be an "under the hood" improvement, but it is one we desperately needed. I wanted to say, these kinds of web dev projects aren't cheap, so this is what patron money does go towards. 

There's another major update:

We've moved to Shiunbird's mail hosting services for the immediate future. This is to reduce costs, and because he has a pretty kickass email setup.

If anyone notices any issues with our notification systems, let me know.

The other minor update is that the IRIXNet FTP and other services hosted on our USFTP block will be taken offline soon temporarily while I migrate those to a new service. I will notify if/when it's completed. 

Thank you for your help guys. The next major overhaul is scheduled for the HTTP Gateway, and will include new features for that, probably some UI improvements and more.

I've not forgotten about the PCC, IRIX CE or Xenoware, I just have had to divide my attention between all of those, plus work, plus personal stuff. 

Thank you folks!

I really like them, and I'm extremely happy to have one for my Onyx4 that is far better than the little one I threw together quite a while ago. CB_HK is also apparently going to be working on a Prism rackmount one at some point, which will be great, too! The system icons we have are really fantastic and I really love my Onyx patch and stickers, too!

Yeah. Bigger and better for the era where Pentium's icons don't make sense.
