The forum software has been upgraded.
New Feature List The following changes are being made to our service:
New thread sort options (ascending or descending):
* Order by subject
* Thread creator
* Replies
* Views
* Post order
The buttons are the titles at the top of the list of threads in each Board.
Revamped poll system with many new options:
* Ability to select multiple answers
* Auto locking polls at a given time
* Ability to hide results until users have voted/poll is locked
* Ability to retract votes
New sub-board permissions:
* Ability to have all subboard posts appear in its parent board
* The ability to hide subboards
You can merge the sub boards into the main board, you then have the option of keeping the sub board as well or hiding it so threads aren't listed twice.
Vastly improved speed on post and member searches:
* 1,000 member limit for top posters has been removed from large forums
* Member lists can be sorted in any order
* Search posts speeds increased dramatically
Listing of all users online over the entire day added.
Calendar entries displayed at the bottom of the page are now in date order.
These were listed in the order that they were entered before the upgrade, which made the front page list pretty useless. This forum now has the best events listing system of any site for the town. It has a front page listing in date order with dates, a complete top to bottom list in date order of every event ever entered in the calendar and a full month to view calendar with brief description before you click on anything.
Ability to add a poll to an existing thread.
Ability to set default listing order to a board (date, subject, etc).
Ability to request a forgotten password by email address has been added.
Character limit in posts and personal messages has been in been increased from 25,000 to 60,000.
Category access can now be granted based on membergroup and/or post count related ranks.
Improved page jump, decreasing load times on large boards/threads/member lists.
Other small software fixes (eg "on Today" now displays as just "Today").
