Version 2.615-S Update

Two minor changes with this update have been made to the system.

1) There is now an option to display forms without a table and placing the field names in as place holders.   This will make the form appear cleaner if you are optimizing the website for mobile access as well.   There is now an option in the Site Config that will allow you to switch between the 2 displays.

2) We cleaned up the definitions page type.  We removed the table and just displayed the term on top fo the defintion in bold, instead of having the term on the side.   This presented with a much cleaner format.
