Mike 16th Apr, 2003 #1 Hi Sim, Just wondering whether there are any new bells and whistles in the new software upgrade and whether you will incorporate any of them? Regards, Mike

D dwyerfam 17th Apr, 2003 #2 And what about the e-mail setup, where the posts can be sent to your personal e-mail box?
Sim Administrator 17th Apr, 2003 #3 Mike, since v2.3.0 was essentially a maintenance release, there were no new features of note. As for email digests and such - I just found out that they WILL be in v3.0 !! Some key features coming in v3.0 (due within the next couple of months) User rating - Karma User ranking Threaded and hybrid views (we only have "flat views" at the moment) Quick reply box WYSIWYG Editor for major text input fields (IE 5.5+Only) Multiple attachments Attachment thumbnails Digests: new posts/threads in selected forums daily/weekly/monthly Newsletter / mailling integration Mass download of PMs in CSV, TXT, or XML format Search only in subscribed forums (useful for those people who don't want to read absolutely everything - just topics they are interested in) User Pictures - user can upload a personal picture. This picture is shown in the profile of the user Pop-up auto-refreshing buddylist with ICQ-style alerts when new buddies come online. Option to enable / disable daylight savings time (about time too !!)

geoffw 17th Apr, 2003 #4 About time for a few of those features. It looks like some good stuff in the pipeline- looking forward to it.

Sim Administrator 17th Apr, 2003 #5 I will warn you up front though... I won't be upgrading to v3.0 as soon as it is released... I will be waiting for a while and testing it out on our test server until I am convinced it is stable enough to upgrade us.
