• When managing users the module would previously redirect to the home page after updating a users registration. New enhancements have been added to redirect the user back to the manage users page

• Now when you are adding or updating a dynamic field and you change the sort order, client side javascript code will let you know where it will fall into place within the form. This way you never have to save a field and then later go change the sort order
• Now longer field names are only added to the question dropdownlist (within manage questions) as 'Field Name...' once they are a certain number of characters
• Changed example text to allow for larger examples. In the future we will end up allow you to do all types of javascript tooltips and quick pop ups when a user tabs on/off a field etc
• New validation enhancements. Now if the user errors on a required field it can either throw them to the top of the form, the bottom of the form, set the focus on the first field that errors, etc... Additionally (and this is great!) you can specify a stylesheet class for fields that have thrown the validation error.
