Hi,
Well if you're reading this you've probably noticed the new site. I hope that it will be yet another step forward in the evolution of this community.
<li> Clicking the three fullstops (<a href="#">...</a>) after a thread title on the front page will take you to the last unread post. I tried some other ways of doing this but they all looked messy. Otherways were completely unintuitive. If you have a better idea let me know. I could easily make it just go to the last post all the time... see how you go.
<li> The Wiki is up. I hope someone uses it
I had to customize the Wiki so that it only allowed changes from registered forum members. There may be bugs I didn't find.
<li> The new links scripts are up. I have to also heavily customize these scripts so that only registered members can add and update links. I have imported all the old links, including all the ones that were waiting for validation - there may be some junk and advertising in there. But it's up, can tinker with this later... not going to hold back till I have more time because it won't get done
<li> Biography, Location, Interests, Occupation are now required fields. I don't know what that means for existing users, but new ones will be required to fill them in. If you're reading this and you haven't filled in your fields, please do so now. Everyone loves to know a bit about who they're talking to.
<li> You can now set the length of the front page discussions, and also choose between audio or video only, for all you purists.
Thanks to Griff for the fantastic new logo.
Last but not least, thanks to all of you for being here, and especially for those who have battled through the junk that sometimes invades the forums.
More things to come shortly... please post your feedback if you feel so inclined. I'm bound to have missed some things.. like checking this in any browser other than IE6
