Forum Feature Updates
« on: February 27, 2007, 02:02 PM »
The following features have been added:

Wikipedia BBCode
Code: [Select]
[wiki=]stuff[/wiki]
Custom Profile Field Mod
We're going to put in a field for members to write their biographies in.

Enhanced Calendar
The calendar is even better now!  It shows the previous and following months.

Skype Name Mod
If you use Skype, you can put that information in your profile.

Member Awards
We need the Graphics team or someone to create medals, trophies, etc. for various accomplishments that members make in their various fields of expertise.  Like Masters Zunin and Kor would get a prize for historical research.

RSS Feed
Instead of an RSS Feed for the entire forum which doesn't give you updates as often, you can subscribe to a specific board and get information through your RSS reader without really visiting the forum.  If you see something important, you can just click the link and get directed right to the post.  This only works if you're constantly logged into your account though.

Reason For Editing
When you edit a post, you can put a reason for why you're editting it.

Custom Board Sort
You can sort the order you see boards however you like.

XFire Field
The Xfire contact field is back in the profile again.

Who Voted What?
Now you can see who voted what in a poll, much like we had in registering for events.

Member Color Link
Makes member names colored no matter where they appear.

Image Attachments in Posts
You can upload large images to a post that will appear below the posted text and above your signature.  These images will be sized down for easier viewing by members with a less robust internet connection.  Clicking on them sizes them back to their normal size.  This should allow for easier posting, since you don't have to goto another site like Photobucket to upload screenshots and the like, and it will also enable us to use these pictures on the website easily if we have the need/desire to.

I finally removed the remaining code from the Awards Mod that didn't quite work.  It was preventing anyone from reading posts in the forum because it was trying to display something that didn't exist.  Problem fixed, carry on.

New themes have been added, as well as certain modifications that allow an image gallery among other things.  Details will be posted when everything is completed.

Note that some forum themes do not work with all modifications, such as the shoutbox and articles.
