I'm still processing some of the new features that are found with the latest forums software upgrade.

THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR UPGRADE TO THE FORUMS. As a result, I've had to revert some templates and change some things around. As you can see, iTrader and the top navigation are currently not enabled - the display templates required reversion, so I'll be adding them back in soon.

More to come. As I get done with primary tasks, I will start enabling new features.

EDIT: Here's a list of new features in this version of vB

# Thread tagging
# Search cloud / tag cloud
# Thread prefixes
# Reciprocal friendships between users
# Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
# User picture galleries with user comment facility
# User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
# Extended member profile pages
# Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
# Inline editing of custom user profile fields
# Lightbox viewer for attached images
# Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
# Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
# Notices system for navigation bar
# Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
# User change history
# Social bookmarking integration

Yeah, neato stuff. I'm activating various features as I can. Some are already running, some will be set for all members, some for paying members only.

Spark, were you drinking when you wrote the notice? I like you and all, just not in that way. :eek::D
 
Spark you and your ninja hating pirate crew are doing a great job, keep it up and thanks for BF!
 
Well I am confused...but that is a normal every day thing:thumbup:

Thanks Spark:)

Give me a couple months and I am sure I figure it out.....I am so bad with computers...LOL

Thank you for making Blade Forums AWESOME:D

Big Group hug for Spark:):)

Spark,FWIW I like the new format:thumbup:Keep up the good work:)
 
dang ,i thought you spared itrader
neat feature but exactly half of the guys i dealt with forget to leave me feedback. and some even diddnt notice feedback i left (e.g. unread receipt)
 
Why must things change? Why can't everything stay the same for ever and always? Why is the grass green and the sky blue?

:p
 
Just noticed the cool new picture enlargement for attachments. Very nice.
 
We seem to have at least one new feature already. Ken C. asked to be my friend and I accepted. I'm not sure what that means but there will be NO KISSING. We are not emo boys. :grumpy:
 
Did you upgrade the forums because SPXtrader finally upped for a Platinum membership?

:D

This is much better. I like the new features. Quite a bit new stuff on here. :thumbup:

Not to sound stupid or anything, BUT......what's the big changes that everyone is talking about? I did see the iTrader thing, do we get our points back when it's up and running again or do we have to start over?
 
Some of us are snowflakes ... some of us are mofos ... looks like we can organize in groups now; I've joined two groups already. But there will be NO KISSING! :grumpy:

Awesome! It's like having the scarlet letter tatooed right on every post! I guess that little feature lets the hall monitors know who the troublemakers are?
