Hi All,
We've recently completed an upgrade of the forum software. There are some new features / layout changes here and there.. Below are some highlights...
1. Tagging! Ok, what's this mean.. Well, When you start a new thread, if you look directly below the Message window, you'll see a 'Tags' area. Tags are keywords that your post relates to. When the tag system is in full use, it will be easier to find pertinent information about a specific topic just by clicking on a tag. (To see this in action, look below the thread, right above the Quick Reply area.. When more things are tagged, you can click on a tag word and it'll show all threads that pertain to that tag.. )
2. Public Profile Redesign. When viewing someone's profile, there are now tabs to help better organize the data.
3. Friends functionality. This allows you to organize and/or appoint friends that you have within the forum. Now, I realize that we're all pretty much friends, but those that have met in person and/or have a special connection, etc...
4. A NEW GALLERY! Ok, this may come as a shock.. But it seems that the folks that manage this software saw the need for an integrated gallery. We are currently exploring this as a feasible replacement for the current HOG offering. More to come on this, but anticipate moving that direction...
5. A new LOGO! Ok, ya.. that's not really part of the forum upgrade, but it is a change that I'm sure most have noticed...
There's more I'm certain..
We would like everyones feedback on the new software. ESPECIALLY if you notice something that's not working.
Thanks all,
LK
