New upgrade features

**Pauline** · 29-12-2011, 03:03 PM

Well if you have been around today you will know that we have had some major upgrade work done.

Everything seems to be working ok, but if you do have problems PLEASE let me know as it might be something important. I would rather it be a false alarm that you not bother to tell me.

Your profile will look different and you also have the option to have a photo album and green members can create groups for chat, some other members can join in these chats.

You can add 'tags' to posts, which help search engines

I have an option to add a message that will appear when you log in at the top of the Forum, it might not be often but worth looking out for as they will carry very important information.

Trial and error will be the way to work out how to do things

You can also use FAQ

Sadly we did lose a few posts from 11.30 to close down time at around 12.30 - apologies for that, hope they were not too important but it was a case of better to lose a few than have a major problem later. If you sent a private message around that time it might have been lost too.

Right now you can have a cup of tea or something stronger, you deserve it.

Thank you Pauline for all your work on upgrading the forum.

I will do my best to get my head round the changes - but bear with me while I bumble around making mistakes

They obviously changed it just for you

Another new feature is the ability to share threads on Facebook, Twitter and other sites.

At the bottom or threads in public areas you can click on links to share

Ideal if you see something that you want to share with all your friends on FB or Twitter especially

(only works in public areas, not member areas, those cannot be shared)

owwww scary I don' like technical change

Thank you Pauline for all your hard work, I'm sure I will work it all out before it all changes again

**Pauline** · 29-12-2011, 05:18 PM

Another feature which I have added to the first post, but in case you miss it:

I have an option to add a message that will appear when you log in at the top of the Forum, it might not be often but worth looking out for as they will carry very important information.
