Re: New update to forum software, please read
I'm not going to play around with colours as yet.
If you could all live with it for a little while and see how you get on.
There's still a lot to do so bear with me.
Thanks

Well done Thomas for getting everything back up and running - have just had a look, and like you say, some of the new features are a big improvement:Bootsy wrote:There are lots of new features so discover and share them.
- On the left-hand side of the User Control Panel you can manage your watched topics and add bookmarks to useful topics etc
- Save draft posts (useful for those writing epic restoration threads who want to pause for a breath without worrying they are going to lose all their hard work ). Just click "Save draft" when creating a post.
- Attach files
- Friends and Foes option looks interesting...
Also, the 2012 sticker arrived yesterday - thanks Thomas!

Likewise behind the scenes the control of the forum has many new features that will assist in the running.
For example -
I can remind new registrants who have inactive accounts to use them
I can issue warnings if somebody does anything naughty which last for 90 days!
and lot's more which I discovering at the moment.

Yep, I've discovered (in the User Control Panel) that I have no friends 'on-line' and no friends 'off-line'.Bootsy wrote:There are lots of new features to discover.
I felt that was the case but to have it confirmed by the new software.....
Nice new logo though.

Re: New update to forum software, please read
Thomas, just a small point but I've noticed that links within threads now navigate you away from the DDK site whereas before (and on other forums) a new window/tab would open (which is preferable).
Otherwise, great work & great site.
