Some more updates:

Updated the general layout of the charts. There are now some AJAX controls added. Also added the section Tools, as replacement of link to WikiTools. Wikitools will be rewritten somewhere in the future.

But now you've got two 'Tools' links on the menu, because 'Tools' is already used for FAPs, chips etc.

Maybe change the new one to 'Applications'?

And what is AJAX?

Yeh I was hoping nobody would notice . I will considder your suggestion.

AJAX basically are interactive webcontrols, see for example: http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/. On Entropedia you can hide sections (tools, settings, filters) in the chart by clicking on them.

OK, sounds cool, I can't see any difference for now but I'm sure I'll come across it at some point

AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a functionality enhancement technology that allows updating of information on webpages (often times in response to user interaction) via background database queries, removing the need for full page refreshes or reloads.

EF uses many AJAX features as well, though you may not be aware of them. For example, when you begin typing a member name in the search form, it will automatically present a matching list of member names from the database as you type some letters. Also, if you click "Edit" on one of your posts, you will notice that the page does not reload, but simply changes to an edit box in your post.

AJAX pretty much results in a more efficient and enjoyable web browsing experience for end users, and results in lower demands on server resources and bandwidth.

Thanks for the info.

I guess it's one of those things where it doesn't really matter to me what it is, but it's good that it's there
