Well, the big update I planned on Saturday is now pushed live. Here are the new features:
Instant Message Box Improvements: Boy howdy was this needed. You can now delete more than one message at a time. When you go to read a message it appears as an e-mail. It's just much easier to manage your in box and out box. Also, allows me to set limits on how many messages in your in and out box.
Member List View Improvements: Now have icons (red for offline green for online) for current status. WWW and e-mail is shown as an icon, not as a cluttered link. The number of posts are now multi-colored based on your title (Newbie, Regular, Fan, God, etc...). Just looks a whole lot better.
Go To Most Recent Post: This upgrade rocks! If you look on the topic centers next to the name of the most recent poster you'll see a little icon =
.
Click on that icon and POOF! You are taken straight to the most recent post on that board.
Members Only Text: Want to put something in a post that only members can read? Well then use the new tag.
I put it in a little code box so you could see how it works. If you registered, here is a hidden message.

Password Protected Message Boards: This will allow me to create a Steering Committee message board that only committee members will have access to - much better than the e-mail list we're doing right now.
Add MSN Messenger Service: No, I don't have anything against MSN and now you can add their messenger service to your profile. The applet uses a Visual Basic call to access the MSN software so don't freak out - it's not evil, honest.
Newest Member Greeting: The newest member to join is now listed at the top of the board.
Notification Upgrade: Now instead of just getting a message notification or replies, the reply will appear in the e-mail and you can reply back through the message. A lot more changes there too.
Who Is Online Print Out: This will be added to the homepage tonight.
Report Post To Moderator: You'll notice on each post now you have the ability to report them to a moderator. Sad state of the union after the Sport Trac incursion but this way everyone can help make sure things stay civil. You're all part of Homeland Defense!
There have been some other tweaks done that don't impact you, but make my job a little easier. Hopefully this makes the world a better place!
