Hi Obride,
Just a brief summary of new features added in the upgrade.
1. The forum has a easier way for including images in your posting. Now you'll just need to click on the button "Upload Attachement".
2. The forum also performs username check when a message is posted. If the username is already registered, it'll no longer be allowed to be used by other public users. This will help reduce identity confusion.
3. There is a "Private Message" (PM) function included in this upgrade. However, we've disabled it by default to prevent unsolicited PM. You can turn the PM function on by editing your account/profile.
4. The new "Search" utility is more powerful. It has more search criteria available and thus will return more accurate search results.
5. There is also a new automatic password-retrieval function under the "Profile" link in the navigation above.
6. There is a posting counter. This will show the number of postings a registered member has made in the forum.
7. Currently, we can also show the date since the member had registered with the forum.
8. Noticed the printer icon on the top right of my message? By clicking on the icon now, you'll be able to print just this message alone.
These are the few added features I can think of now.
Regards,
Chin Leng.
