Hotfixes & Small Tweaks - March

This month we find ourselves rolling out version 34 to beta clients and working through any issues and tweaks we find using their feedback and other manual testing.  Thank you everyone in the community for your help as we learn together how to make all of these cool new features even better.  This is basically preparing for general rollout of version 34 with the new File Browser, Site Explorer, Custom Layout capabilities and more, even 50+ new professional button themes were added which can really make the site look professional.  We have squeezed in more fixes and features in the midst of this progress as well, along with more focus on KnowledgeBase articles and popup help.
