Posted December 1, 200420 yr This is going to be my attempt on listing all features of the new forum software. If you have any questions or comments, let me know. This board gives extensive stats on everyones online time and where they post or visit. Everyone can view these. Every member is now allowed to upload pictures to the forum via the additional optons tab when you post. The files have to be under 128K and only 15 are allowed per post. JPG, GIF, and MPG are the only extensions allowed. A calender is now available where anyone can post events or happenings in their cities. A thread is also created when you add an event to the calender. If you add your birthdate to your profile, your birthday and age will be listed on the calender. Forum visitors are not allowed to view member profiles for information. You must register to see any of this info. Permissions can be set individually. So now if someone wants to be able to anything special on the forum, it can be done. If you forget your password, you can retrieve it by setting up a secret question along with the correct answer. You can ignore members if you want. You can create a custom title by your avatar. You can minimize the top part of the forum by hitting the triangle button next to the home button. Forum stats are available in real time. All errors that users get are logged so that we can attempt to fix them immediately. There are more but I cant think of them right now. If anyone has more to add, feel free to do so.
December 4, 200420 yr the total time logged in stat is hilarious....it says i've spent 6 hours and 15 minutes on the forum since the switch! haha
November 8, 200519 yr I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll ask anyway. Frequently when I post a message, I get a message saying I've already posted it. Problem is, I haven't. I'm not double-clicking. Usually, I get the error message when my post doesn't appear right away. Sometimes, when I get that message, I'll have to click "preview" first, then click "post." But that doesn't always work either. And, other times, when I get the error message and I go back, all of my text is gone. Very frustrating....

November 8, 200519 yr I actually get that too. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 10, 200519 yr It makes the person you add, on your buddy lists. People in your buddy list appear in bold in the who's online section. I'm sure theres a little bit more than that to it, but thats all I know.
January 9, 200619 yr I have been PMing alot lately and have noticed that my outbox doesn't work. I have sent at least 20-30 in the past month, but none are in there. Do I have to save them somehow?

January 12, 200718 yr I stumbled upon it once. Now I cannot find it. edit:under "Forum Stats" on the U/O forums page
January 16, 200718 yr ^Click "Profile" at the top of any forum page. Scroll to the bottom of your profile page and click on "Read the last posts of this person."
January 18, 200718 yr I like the new feature near the bottom of the main forum page. Where the Online Users are listed....there is a new feature that shows most users online today...and most ever (I'm a stats nerd)!
January 19, 200718 yr The whole "10 years behind in Cincinnati" Twain commentary you are feeding the rest of Ohio, Randy... "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 14, 200718 yr ^ Not really, use either of them. All the "extra's" are only available on the default theme.
August 9, 200717 yr ^ Why don't you click on it and see what happens? :D Seriously, I'm not sure but I think it has to do with wireless access. It think the phone icon signifies a post submitted via WAP. I may be wrong, though.
August 10, 200717 yr ^ Why don't you click on it and see what happens? :D I did, the page flickered as if reloading, but then nothing happened.
August 14, 200717 yr Those are google tags that people type in google search and somehow end up on our site. The bolder ones are used more frequently.
August 16, 200717 yr i've seen some interesting ones, but what is "mss"? its frequently in bold/larger font.....
