Site Upgrade

[Gteuk]

As you are probably aware a quick site upgrade has taken 1.5 days, this is due to the conversion of PM messages, god you guys must talk forever over PM, Anyway the site has now been updated, I will still have to add some tweaks for it to be totally satisfactory.

 

Due to the mass amount of data I will be pruning old PMs and stuff from the database.

cheers glen.now to navigate it,http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

Well Gregers your not on your own as I do not fully know how to navigate.

 

Changes that you will notice.

 

Profiles have completely changed and look like a mix between facebook and old profile

Face book integration where you can link to your facebook account then like topics (this site has been added as an FB app but needs a lot of users before it goes fully public)

Hooks which enables lates topics, watched topic, facebook status, forum status, etc.

Similar to facebook you can broadcast your status on this forum only or to both the forum and facebook

Ability to change profile picture to be different than your avatar

Uploadable files have changed but may be restricted

A more options for posting, etc.

A lot better google, banner ad function (not good for users but I am happy :) )

 

Admin part of the forum has got wors instead of better as I cannot prune old private messages so can I ask all users to do a bit of spring cleaning or I will have to do a sql clean which will remove all PMs
