Some New Features

Michael Vandeven:
Hi, all.  I've just performed a major update to the software backend behind this forum.  Hopefully you'll notice some improvements here and there.  Please clear your cache by clicking SHIFT + REFRESH.


You'll notice a new feature here or there, but the most useful is the new "drafts" feature.  As you'd guess, it allows you to save a draft of the post you're working on to the server before actually posting it.  Also, you'll notice your posts are automatically saved to "drafts" every 30 seconds while working on them.  Access your saved drafts by clicking profile/profile info/show posts/drafts.  Drafts are removed when you post them.  Nobody can see your drafts but you.  Pretty handy, eh?  I know some of you, myself included, would have benefited greatly from this feature in the past.

Michael Vandeven:
Also, you can now export your personal messages to a downloadable .XML file.  I implemented this feature because while I do recommend that you purge your PM inbox from time to time for security reasons, I also realize you might not actually want to LOSE all of your private messages.

Michael Vandeven:
I have also removed the ability of users to change the subject of a thread they are posting in.  This will help to preserve the intent of threads you create.

Art Crow:
lookin' good, feelin' fine

Michael Vandeven:
There's also now a Facebook "Like" button on the first post of each thread.  Yeah, I know.  Please consider clicking it from time to time if you are a Facebook user.  It'll help drive some traffic our way.
