Welcome to the New Forums!
December 10th, 2007 by 3pidemiC Hello everyone!As you can tell, we have completely revamped our forums. We have purchased a license from Invision Powerboards and have transferred over as much content from our old forums as we could. Here are some things that did not transfer:
* Passwords for user accounts. You must use the "Forgot password' link to reset yours. If you want to change your password after it has been reset from random characters to a custom one of your choice go to "My Controls" and then "Change Password". If you are still having problems, please PM an admin.
* The "Privileged Members", "VIP", and "Global Moderator" user accounts from our old forums. If you were a part of those groups, please remake your account and PM an admin to have your post count and join date corrected.
* The old threads. Not too worry, you will still be able to view them here: (Waiting for forums to be shut down and link to be given to me).
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Now let me thank all of those who made these new forums possible. Anyone that had generously donated their money to help fund these will be recognized and awarded in the future. We will create special rank icons and other things to show our appreciation.
NEW FEATURES:
Now, as these are brand new forums, there are many new features that we want to make your aware of:
Post Reporting:
If a member has made a post that you do not think is acceptable and your would like the moderators to look at or take action against, please click the "Report" bottom located in the bottom left portion of the said post. All reported posts will be sent to the moderators and they will take it from there.
View New Posts:
This is generally a feature that is present on almost all forums out there. But not on our old one! Just click the "View New Posts" link located near the top left of your page to display all of the posts since your previous visit. This is an extremely useful feature that many people seem to miss.
100 Post Exclusive Forum:
Many veterans will remember this one. It is an area of the forum that is available only to members that have been around long enough to have 100 posts. In this area, you will be shown exclusive media not available to the public from the staff. Please note that the moderators will watch for spammers so please do not post spam in order to get your post count up! It will be deleted!
Personal Photos:
Within your profile settings, you may upload a personal photo for your profile that will be seen when others view your profile information.
Standard Features:
Anyone that had used our old forums knows that we were missing many standard forums features. Well, now they are here. Please take the time to search around and discover all of the things you can do!
SUGGESTIONS:
If any of you have any ideas on how we can improve these forums, please let us know! We realize that there are a ton of different plugins, mods, and other things to implement so let us know if you want one!
Please take the time to look around and start posting! Let's make these new forums great!
Please keep in mind that this forums look and features will be changing over the next couple of weeks to customize it more to our mod!
