September Forum Update!

I've been very busy lately; working behind the scenes, making changes here and there, adding new features and optimizing the code. Most of the work is being done at night to minimize downtime. 

Here's a short list of what we're working on:

    The code for the old blog system was finally removed, which had an added benefit of speeding up the rest of the forum. 
    A new tagging system has been added
    Minor changes to the CSS style sheets
    A major upgrade to the Classified ad section is coming soon!
    Initial installation of an online store has been completed!
    Lots of small cosmetic changes will be made over the next few weeks
        Avatars can now be up to 120 pixels high/wide.
        New badges for membership rankings
    New forum indexing system will be installed
    New attachment uploading system is coming soon with drag-n-drop, multi-file uploading (with a progress bar) and file preview

I'm also experimenting with the overall design of the theme - different colors & sizes, layout, etc. If you have any suggestions on the look and feel of the forum - feel free to let us know by sending me a PM or replying to this post.

Thanks!


PS: This month we surpassed three million total page views with half of those occurring in just the last nine months! Wow! 

A few more updates -

Switched the page sharing provider from 'po.st' to 'Sharethis' and moved the sharing icons to a floating bar. Sharethis offers better activity tracking and customization of the sharing tools.
Fixed the page tracking through 'Revolver' (world icon down in the bottom-left hand corner) which stopped tracking visitors in June. I'm still looking into why it's only counting the new visitors since April.
A new attachment uploading system will be installed and tested today that allows drag-and-drop, file preview and multi-file uploads.
Turned off the option to enforce entering tags when posting due to a bug with editing replies.

There's still an issue with the tagging system where it doesn't save the tags when creating a new post. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - it seems to be browser dependent.   <<< Fixed!

Let me know if you have any problems saving tags.
