Forum Software Updated

[Chief]

Hi Guys

We've updated our forum software to the latest release.

This brings with it a number of new features including Tags , improved (facebook type) Profiles, Friends options, social groups and more

If you notice anything strange or have any questions please feel free to post to this thread.

We'll work on the look of the site over the weeks to come. I just wanted to update to the latest release for now though as it brings with it a number of security and feature improvements

Cheers

Chief

What rep points? I thought people posted for the sheer love of sharing???

Thanks for letting us know. The boss will return them to your screens soon.

I got a few "Incoming friend requests" that have already been accepted many months ago (e.g. already friends). Did something regenerate the requests, or do people REALLY love me???

I Do.
I was just worried a bit because I wasn't able see how many you had!

Q?

Now that the new software has been updated does that mean we can have a slightly larger avatar?
I'd like 125X100
but this is 100X79.

So I take it that filling in the tags section is now a necessity as it is when you post on C&G (i.e. required for completing a new post)?

Yes please mate. We do have a script here at NG that will automatically do it each night if you forget but it's not as accurate as a humans input

Your thinking of C&G perhaps mate?
