Forum upgrade
« on: July 17, 2011, 03:09:12 PM »
Forum upgrade finished.

Some tweaks may be implemented.

If you miss a feature/have ideas for a new one, please post here.

---

Some new stuff:

- you can turn OFF notifications (profile --> notifications)
- added sections for articles, downloads and image gallery (plus a link page that MAY be removed, not sure yet)
- news tab that allows list view of all news items

I also intend to use the calendar more.

Note to self: The recent post feature seems to be still missing. I'll look into it.

Hey B, maybe this was intended, but it appears that chat is working. I get a message: "You are not allowed to access chat."
Yes, wyrmling, the meat is made all the more tender by armor...

Found the parsing error. Had left out the part giving me access to actually give membergroups permission to see/use chat/shoutbox. Silly of me.

Fixed now.

I've added a feature that supports the saving of drafts; just try to make a new post/reply and you'll see a new button.

There is also an autosave feature that saves your draft every 30 seconds (might want to change that number later on).

Should save some of you some grief.
