Saru 6,762 #1 Posted March 29, 2017 As there have been quite a few updates and additions to the forum over the last few weeks I thought I'd compile a changelist as it's likely not everyone is aware that certain features or fixes have been implemented. Posting: If there is text stored in the text editor when you go to make a post, an option will appear to ask if you want to clear the editor window so that you can start writing without having to manually remove what's there first. Content saved in the editor will now expire after 48 hours. Social media posts (Facebook, Twitter etc. ) can be embedded directly in to forum posts. Profiles: Animated GIFs now crop correctly when used as profile pictures. Display name history option added ( next to the member's name on their profile page ) Status updates: Personal status updates directed at a specific member no longer appear on the home page widget. Editing a status no longer replaces spaces with '+' signs. General: Improved speed and performance of search function and activity feeds. Formal moderator warnings now produce a box that must be acknowledged (clicked on) by the recipient. Daily server maintenance has been replaced with a less disruptive alternative process. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouija ouija 34,628 #3 Posted March 29, 2017 Thank you, Saru. I especially like the 'Display name history option added' and the 'updates directed at a specific member' adjustment. Re. the 'Formal moderator warnings' box that should be ticked, what happens if the offender doesn't tick the box? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They won't be able to post till they tick the box and acknowledge the warning. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
