NEW UPGRADES
Jul 9th, 2005, 6:52pm
 
Forum was put into maintenance mode on 9th July 2005 at approx 17:30


We have made 4 changes....



We now have a report to moderator button on every post.  This will email all admins and moderators.



We have changed the '10 most recent posts' to the '20 most recent posts' - We can now alter this figure very easily without shutting the forum.  We may alter it from time to time to help the forum bandwidth.



Aswell as seeing a post with 'TODAY' written against it, you will also see posts with 'YESTERDAY'.



We have also changed the rather boring "hey, member, you have 10 messages" to "good morning/evening/afternoon/happy birthday, member, you have 10 messages"



More Alterations coming soon....

Problem with PM'ing on here is you don't know you've been PM'ed until you're online, so when the forum goes offline it's a bit of a surprise as I couldn't see my PM until the forum came back online, (briefly during the upgrades as it happens)!

Still not keen on it for several reasons, but I'm not complaining. Wink

One of the next upgrades will be a new PM inbox.  This will allow alerts by email, and alerts by popup&sound.

Sorry we upset the 3 of you - you where stuck in cyber land!

Yea - I noticed that, and quickly shut it down again - one of the files we upgraded is also the file resposible for holding the forum shut in maintenance mode - when we uploaded that one file, the forum slipped out of maintenance mode Lips Sealed

PM box should be good, I've left a couple of messages in there for a day or two as I've not noticed them.
