I wanted to let you all know we are working on FIRECalc. There have been various feature requests and questions about how certain cash flow streams are handled. We plan to address those ASAP.
It's been a while since we adopted the site from Dory36. In that time I have hired various programmers to help address issues but they have all failed. I know have a new programmer helping and we are taking baby steps towards our end goal. The first step was to clean up all the files on the site to make sure we had only the core code needed for the current production site (v3).
The way these programs work is one file can call another file and these can be nested pretty deep. That being said, it can be difficult to figure out what files are needed and which are old and just left their from a previous version. Rhett, the new programmer, built a script to follow the code and identify all the needed files and thus has deleted about 110 files and 4 directories.
What we need now is for you all to help us test our development environment. Normally this type of testing would be done in private but being a community, getting everyone to help is what we are all about. If you have a few moments, please run your scenarios through the dev link below and compare your results to make sure they are exactly the same as the home page:
Development Link: Development FIRECalc
Home Page: Live FIRECalc
If you get any errors or see any discrepancies we would greatly appreciate your posting the details here.
If it works perfectly for you, please post that as it's also valuable feedback confirming that our cleanup efforts did not cause any issues.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
