August 2011 Upgrades
« on: August 20, 2011, 04:56:47 PM »
Okay folks here is a list of things that have been upgraded recently.

* Upgrade 1: Upgraded the forum software, giving us more features.

* Member Profiles
 - Upgrade 2: Cool looking new set up of the member profiles. New style.
 - Upgrade 3: Added new custom fields that appear in the posts on the left. You can now let people know your favorite song, member and band album. Please keep this limited to Disturbed only.
 - Upgrade 4: Birthday and Gender: Your bday and gender will now appear on your profile. Genders will be displayed on the left under the avatars.
 - Upgrade 5: Activity: There is now a bar in both the profile and the post side bar, that shows how active you are.
 - Upgrade 6: Buddy Page: By going to some ones profile and hovering over the "Profile Info" drop down. At the bottom is the Buddy Page. You can then see who is buddies with that member. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
 - Upgrade 7: Country flags: I have added a feature on the post sidebar that shows your country flag. To let people know where you are from. 
 - Upgrade 8: A new twitter app has been added to members profiles. Just go to edit forum profile to add in your twitter ID. Now people will be able to see the latest four tweets on your DZF profile.
 - Upgrade 9: You can now add comments to others members profiles. Please be kind, do not spam, do not be mean. If we feel people are abusing this feature. We WILL remove it, no if's and's or butt's about it.

* Upgrade 10: Stats page. The stats page now displays the Top 10 Posters and Topic Starters Stats (Today, Week, Month, and Year) So get to posting, get your self on the top 10 list now.

* Upgrade 11: Guests Limited: Guest will no longer be able to view posted images, member display, members signatures or avatars. Nothing major there. No real reason to hide the avatars or sigs. But posted images are now hidden because we don't want copy right issues. And display names to protect peoples identities......  :eyeroll: That ones more cause I thought it was kind of cool and funny lol

* Upgrade 12: Reply boxes, are now re-sizable. Nice little feature when you have a lot to post. You can now make the reply box bigger.

* Upgrade 13: We now have three completely new themes. Sadly the old one we had no longer works with the upgraded software. I will have to try and contact the designer to upgrade it for the SMF 2.0 Series. But we have three more cool ones to use.

* Upgrade 14: Users Logged in box on the index page. Lets you know which members have logged in, in the last seven days. We had this a few months ago, but I had disabled it to do some upgrades and couldn't reinstall it. I thought i would bring it back again this time around.

* Upgrade 15: Bookmark your favorite topics, there is now an "Add Bookmark" link at the top of each thread. If you find a thread that you want to follow the replies to. Hit that button. Then at the top under the banner there is a link that says "My bookmarks" You can keep track of them there.

* Upgrade 16: We now have a forum for mature chat. Members must have at least 25 posts before being able to see this forum. And you must have the password, if you are 18 years old please contact an admin for the password. By gaining access to this forum you agree you are in fact 18. And we are not responsible for what happens afterwards.

* Upgrade 17: PrettyURLS: Instead of the standered urls "?board=44.0" At the end of the url. We now have some thing that looks like this "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login" Making the site seem more professional and prettier.

* Upgrade 18: Our Referral system is back, you can check out how to do that in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

* Upgrade 19: Soon I will be removing the Affiliates board, and moving them to this page here You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Even though we have an affiliates page on the main site. I thought I would put one here. For Disturbed related, or heavy metal/rock type sites. Or any sub genre of heavy metal and rock.

* Upgrade 20: Added a cool Spoiler code for posts. So when ever your talking bout a movie or a show that no one has seen yet. And you dont want to give it away. Type it in the spoiler tags. It will say insert spoiler. It does not have an image uploaded for it yet. Working on that.
Click below to view the spoiler
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (click to show/hide)

* Upgrade 21: Members who have special ranks their names will show up as colored in posts and in the members list now. Not just on the home page. That way it is easy to identify an admin or a mod in a thread.

* Upgrade 22: I've added a new social networking links. You'll be able to share topics on your fave social network sites. I had to get a new one as the old one wasn't compatible any more.

You may also find some other new features that I have not listed. Or didn't feel was important enough to mention. More upgrades will be added to the list as they are added to the site. So be on the look out.
