Corrected a few problems...
With the help of BHRA I was able to solve user's theme choices being changed when admin edits their profile. Rest comfortably now, when I change your profile for some reason, your theme choice will remain as is... so have fun.
We were also able to correct a problem that allowed guests to post and view the boards because of our allowing them to see the Classifieds section, but this has been corrected.
Help!
To better help members find topics that they have an interest in... the search section under each message index has been emphasized. look for it right under where all the messages are in a board. you will see a field where you enter what you are looking for and then click search.
Also, the help section has been updated and simplified. you will see a blinking help icon to encourage its use.
Newbies that get Lost
New members always seem to lost on the forum, so to help them... all new members with lest than 3 posts will see the jump menu right under their posts. Once they reach four posts it disappears, so if you have more than four posts you will not see what I am talking about (its for new members anyway).
Restrictions on Newbies
Due to a lot of new members coming on here, doing a lot of stuff and then asking to be deleted I have put more restrictions on what new members can do so that we do not waste time. New members will not be able to link or upload their own avatar until they reach 30 and 60 posts respectively. This will ensure that the new user is already familiar with the policies and rules of this forum. However, to offset this, we will be increasing the number of user avatars that are available. Thanks for understanding.
New bells and whistles
Tiny features will popup here and there. If you notice a few error messages please understand that we are working in the background. We do not want to close down the whol forum. Thanks.
Two New Features
Members can now link to their favorite photo or image of themself or the family via their profile (Go to 'Modify Your Profile', look for field named 'My Picture', enter the URL to your photo or image) and will show up 'big' at the bottom of their profile.
RPG users in Medieval will have a selection of sayings in both English and Latin for their character use like a 'motto'. This will show up in the Medieval board.
Sort Threads
Now you can sort threads by date, subject, etc. so that nothing is missed! You do it via the message index at the bottom of the page. You will see two fields... one controls the way you want to sort the threads and the other asks how many threads you want to see. This will help members to not keep posting the same subjects over and over. In addition to this remember you have the search below this same field.
