Ok, 2 major features with the new software upgrade -
We can also moderate registrations from now on, so that should be interesting if we ever implement it... more on that later.

- You now have the ability to put images in your signature. This is good and bad.... Good in that you can show who you are, and what you like or something along those lines.
What's bad is that if this feature is abused, it's going to be taken away from everyone, period. No If's, And's, or But's. No discussion about it.
If you put an image in your signature, it's expected to be less than 15k in size, less than 200x200 pixels in dimension, and NO PORNOGRAPHIC or OFFENSIVE Pictures, PERIOD. BTW, you have to use UBB Code to put the images in there....
Nuff said?
- The second feature effects how we operate in respect to the COPPA - Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. IMHO, this is a BS law, but the US Government passes a bunch of those. We'll be making some changes around here before the 21st of this month, which is when the law goes into effect.
Suffice it to say that the law basically says that we have to have special notification / procedures if we have kids 13 and under on this site.
Since this site is for adults, discussing adult topics, this is a BS waste of time, but again, that's JMHO.
We can also moderate registrations from now on, so that should be interesting if we ever implement it... more on that later.
