Forum Changes Monday Night

[Bubba]

The new forum design and integration is complete. I just have one little hickup on the backend to figure out.

We have scheduled the migration for Monday night. So hopefully Tues morning when you get on, the forum will be new and full of features.

A couple of more features.

Subscribe/bookmark your favorite threads and a Thank You system.

The Thank you system works like this. There is a Thanks button at the bottom of EVERY post. If the post is helpful or if people like it, they can click the thanks button. It then shows who all thanked the post.

Under you avatar, it will show the total number of times you have been thanked and the total number of times you have thanked others. On your profile page, people can actually see the posts of yours that people thanked.

We did this to take the emphasis off post count, so people would stop trying to run up the count.

There is not a way to abuse the Thanks, nor is there a way to give people negative thanks or anything, so no worries there.

If we already had a thank you button, I would definitely hit it on this post.

The forum will be down for 3-4 hours.
