Post by Chris from Washington »

Ok Everyone, the initial update went pretty well :thumbsup


Here is a list of the new features for you guys so far, more will come in the next few days.

PM Preview: Your PM's now have a 'preview' under each one. So you can read the first couple lines before opening.

Blinking Envelope Alerts you that you have a new Private message

Last 15 searches: If you do the advance search of the forum, you can see what the last 15 searches by other users have been.

Sticky Color: Now all stickied topics will have a slightly different color to make them stand out better

E-Mail Address Obscurer: This will Obscure email addresses in posts in order to prevent email harvesting. [email protected]

Skype/Google Talk/Xfire IM options: If you fill in these options within your profile, new icons will appear under your name when you post, and also viewable via your profile page.

Subscribed Threads Notifications: If you subscribe to threads, the next time you visit the forum under the PM notification it will tell you how many threads have replies. With a link to a page that lists them all.

FlashChat: Car Audio Central newest platinum feature, live chat!!

Paging System Instant message other users while on forum (Platinum Member feature)

CAC Arcade If you get as bored as I do, this helps :) (Platinum Member Feature)


MISC:

Miserable Users: Banned users will run into all sorts of problems when trying to access the forum.
Such as:

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).

2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).

3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).

4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).

5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).

6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).

7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

Who is currently in the Chat Room: This is located on the main forum page, right under who is currently on the forum.

Page compression: Faster loading times for pages.

So far so good, the only thing I've ran into with the hacks are they are made to work with vb3.52 and we are at 3.5.

I don't really want to renew our VB license until the next big version of VB comes out. So will just have to wait on those hacks until then.

Two things I noticed.

The home page column width on the left side is unusualy wide.

Also our Admin rep is red, as if it were bad?

Just added a user info hack. It's not quite working yet, the longevity section doesnt' seem to be showing the right info.

New hack is kinda cool...but what does it all mean? If you scroll your mouse over "Longevity", it says for most people
User has been a member for 33f the boards existance
What is that supposed to mean? It also says the board was created in Dec. 1969, which might be why everybody's is low but Justins.

Also, what does the number represent under "Activity"?
