I think it sets a new standard for web app installers." <br> <br>I love the new web installer, but I have to disagree with this statement that it sets a new standard for web app installers. I only say this because I think it's more like an example of an ASP.NET web application that's finally catching up to a standard that's long been in place for a number of other open sourced web applications, mostly ones written in PHP and/or Perl/CGI. I've used a number of web applications like pMachine, WordPress, MoveableType, etc. that had this type of web-based installer for a long time. Something I always thought was missing from .Text and other ASP.NET applications (nGallery is another example). The windows-based installers that these apps have come with in the past have been nice and helpful, but they don't do much for those of us with hosting accounts where we don't have physical or even TS access to the server. So the web-based installer was long overdue, and I was extremely pleased to see CS ship with it. Props to the Telligent crew. I can't wait to get setup with CS myself. Gonna have to wait for the .Text migration tool though. &#34;I agree, the installer is excellent. I think it sets a new standard for web app installers.&#34;

Don't know if it telligent or the ftb crew, but the dll version for freetextbox is slightly smaller than for both 3.0.0 and 3.0.1, but has a higher build number than the one that comes with the 3.0.1 download :) They’ve made some big changes it seems.

I was most impressed. <br> <br>Are you a firefox user? How do you find the new post page? I noticed it's freetextbox 3, but it seems a little different to the standard downloadable one.
