New BB style forums are in Beta!

Stop by and give em a try here: ((Clicky))

The forums were growing out of control and were lacking in features and flexibility. So I have decided to intall my own and move all of our tutorials and the like off site where I can have greater control... (and siggys) ;)

The forums here will then be stripped down and kept to things which relate to this site only. You will be able to sign into the new forums using your Wordpress login information, no need to sign up again. (Unless you were not yet signed up.

Sweet new features include:

Ability to have your name link right to your SA profile.

Membership Status! Know who you are chatting with by their user label and how active they are by a custom name! (We had this on Skem9... if you can remember the names we could use them again or make some new ones up)

Join date will be visible with your name in posts.

Number of posts a user has is displayed.

Private messaging is enabled and is threaded. From what I know, these messages can be between several members. (I believe Skem9 had something like this.)

Unread Posts will be clearly differentiated! *Woot for me!*

If we want/need new features I can customize to my hearts content... or for as much time as I have to play. :P

Which reminds me... Smilies. (Customizeable smiles down the road.)

What I am working on.

Avatar Upload not yet configured. (God Willing it will be by tomorrow.)

Suggestions? Add them to the thread!

LOL, just your luck right? You work all day on "our" anniversary, and what do you get for it? A big headache. I just popped over again and it's looking good.

I feel the same way. The more you tinker with things it seems like you make it worse. There's a machine that apparently I've been nominated to get working at my job which is why I have hardly been on here these past 2 days and the more I play with it the more it stops working...

but I just managed a breakthrough this morning and hopefully soon it'll be 100% back...

k back to my stupid machine -_-

I am not touching it until my Hosting provider tells me if I broke it or not.

Good luck with your machine. :l

I tried a new post and edit worked. Then I went back to the one I had mentioned and it broke again. I think I deleted the post since I couldn't edit it without crashing my entire server I guess.

Tried editing just now... Works fine for me.

The Gravatar site? You may need to register with that email first.

Mine went right through so I couldn't remember if I had been there last year before I got the plugin for member pictures on the Layout site.
