New forum features!

Post by **archibalduk** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:57 pm

We have recently been busy adding some cool new features to the forums. This process is still on-going and so we'll keep you posted on all the latest developments.

Smilies
The old smilies have been replaced with some nicer-looking ones.

Favourite team logos
You will notice a new option in your user profile which allows you to choose a logo of your favourite team. Currently you can choose from the NHL logo and all NHL team logos. The logo is displayed to the left of your profile link which is located below every post you make. For example, you can see the Boston Bruins logo by my profile button to the bottom left of this post.

"Supports" field added to user profiles
There's a new text box in each user's profile where they can specify what team they support.

Improved BBCode interface
We have improved the user interface when a new post is being written. It is now much easier to add things such as links and bold writing - the interface does all the hard work for you.

Quick reply
A basic quick reply button is now located at the bottom of every thread. Clicking on the button opens a quick reply box on the same page.

Main Site link
A link to the Main Site has been placed at the top of the Forums. You will find it amongst the links for viewing your Profile, PMs, logging out, etc.

RSS Feed
An RSS feed is now available - this will keep you up-to-date on all the latest forum posts. The feed address is http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/rss.php

Number of replies per user
It is now possible to click on the number representing the number of replies located to the right of a thread title in any of the forums. This will open a new window which will tell you how many replies each user has made in that thread.

Private messages addon
When you reply to PMs, if you scroll down the page you can now see the PM you're replying to.

I've put a number of links at the top of the Forum. These link to things such as the Guide, Fantasy Football and the SI Forums.

The buttons for searching, the userlist and the member list are now located at the bottom of the Forums
