That's right ladies and gents. I have been secretly conspiring to upgrade our forums. The new upgrade is full of cool new features!
Here is a General list of what's new:

Personal Inbox: Perhaps the COOLEST new feature! This is an inter-forum personal messaging system. It allows you to sent private messages to any other forum member, without using a messaging client or e-mail. Just click on the "send personal message" icon in any of a users posts, a type your message. The next time a user logs in a little red flag will appear alerting them that they have a new message. A very, very sweet feature

New messages since last visit: Don't like the old manual marking feature? That's fine, because now its automatic. The forum now knows if you've read a post or not! Very handy indeed. And for those of you who loved the manual "Mark" and "Mark All" capabilities, worry not, they are still there

Personal Bookmarks: You can now bookmark any thread with a click of an icon!

The ability to hide profiles, e-mail, and inbox: Enjoy your privacy? Now you can hide your profile and e-mail address! You can even disable your personal message inboI have no clue why you'd want to do that, but the option is there for you. All these settings are easily manage from your user area!

Display total number of members: The lobby area now displays the total number of registered users we have.

Display who's online: Link in the lobby to see who's been logged in within the past 2 hours!!

Send ICQ messages: Send ICQ messages to anyone who's ICQ number is listed in their profile with the click of an icon! Note ICQ and AIM fields have been added to the profiles, update yours to take advantage of this new feature! (I have no idea what the ICQ means/does, but everyone seems to be raving about it!)

Total number of posts by a user: That's right now every post you make counts toward your total. Your total is displayed in every post you make, showing just how addicted you are LoL!

Hope you all enjoy. Lets get posting!!!!!
