CFMBB 1.20 is in beta now!  It includes many new features, including support for user groups, restricting forum access to specific user groups, integration of the CFOpenChat chat software, addition of basic content management features with integrated file manager (CFFM). 

Themes have been "simplified" in that the navigation is no longer included in the header/footer pages.  Previous versions of the themes included with CFMBB used wrapping tables, which aren't used any more.

Version 1.20 also includes several bug fixes, adds support for Bluedragon 7 (they've implemented a new built-in CFML function called querySort, which was the name of one of the UDFs in CFMBB, so I had to change its name to qrySort)

This is not an official release, but if you'd like to download the beta for testing, it's here.

My NCAA Tournament pool application has been updated.  It now works with both Galleon (untested) and CFMBB.  You can probably pretty easily modify it to work with pretty much any authentication framework.

The brackets included are current projections from CollegeRPI.com (Jerry's February 23 brackets).  Don't come whining to me about why your team isn't in there, and don't come whining to me about why your team is seeded so low!

So I got a request from one of our development officers the other day.  They wanted to be able to perform prospect reports based on zip code, or a range of zip codes.  So I started investigating, and found numerous resources thanks to the members of the coldfusion community on the cf-talk mailing list.

First, someone pointed me to www.teamreadline.com, a company that sells zip code databases for $5.  The database contains city, state, state abbreviation, zip code, latitude, and longitude.  I forked out the $5 and downloaded the data, and then imported it into SQL Server.
