Hello All,

The forum has gone through some upgrades today:

1. Upgraded the forum software to 3.8.1 The latest and greatest version.

You will notice some new features. Check out the "Pictures and Albums" under community. Pretty Cool huh?

Also look at someone profile and you will see there is now the ability to send them a message while looking at their profile. There are several other new features of the upgraded software. If you find something cool, let us all know.

2. Upgraded the Home page or "portal". upgraded to the latest version of VbAdvanced that I use for the portal. Not much change here.

3. Installed a new classifieds system.

I found a new classifieds system the integrates much better with the forum. So far I am very impressed with the setup and integration. Please let me know if you have problems.

- Thats it for now. Please let me know of any bugs or problems.

Thanks

Todd,
Thanks for the great support. One thing I noticed isn't there anymore is the "today's posts" button. Is there any way to add that back?

While I'm on I always used the "Today's Posts" to refresh the page. It can still be used by going to "Quick Links" then to Today's Posts but it was easier when the button was visible. Does anyone else do this?

I'll figure out the "today's posts" thing. Let me know what else you find.

What does the friends list do. I set some friends on it and it said "requesting friendship".

My guess is that it sent a PM or email to your friends requesting that they accept you as a friend and add you to their friends list at the same time?

I also love the way the new pictures are viewed, with next and previous buttons.

Okay, since the upgrade I haven't found a way to save pictures to my computer. In the ole version I could just place the curser over the pix and I would be given a several choices of actions including save and print. But now I get nothing. Can pictures be saved from the Forum now or has something changed on my 'puter to keep me from that?

I also clicked on Community to check out the Album and Pictures feature and saw only one album that was posted today. That can't be right! Is it me (probably!) or is there something wrong?

Works for me Dean.
I right-click and hit "Save Picture As".

Yeah, that works for me also! I got lazy, or I'm in the early stage of dimentia, because I forgot about that 'click'! I was use to hovering my cursor over a picture and getting the popup that let me select what I wanted to do with it. I think that went away when I updated to IE 8.0 recently. Thanks for the reminder, Mike!
