OK, so it's not Christmas, but our forum software has been updated to include a bundle of new features for our members:

Not yet a member? Register now!


Status Updates
Though status updates are nothing new, you will now be able to comment on other members' status updates. In addition, a log of your status updates, the comments they have received and the comments you have left on other members' status updates can all be viewed on your profile page.

My Content
In your personal dropdown menu at the top-right of the site, there is now an option called "My Content" that will compile a list of every topic you have taken part in throughout the forum over the past year.

Link Sharing
You can now easily share interested threads with social networking platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Buzz, Del.icio.us, Reddit and StumbleUpon from a row of buttons conveniently located at the bottom of each thread.
You can also e-mail threads, view a printer-friendly version, and save them to your computer.

Topic Preview
You can now preview the first few lines of a topic (as well as the most recent post) without loading the entire topic. Simply hover over any topic that interests you and a button will appear to the right. Look carefully!


There are some other minor changes as well, but those above tend to be the more notable ones.

As with any upgrade, however, there's always a chance for bugs and errors. If you encounter any, you can let us know in this thread or in our Site, Feedback, Assistance section.


Have fun!

Thanks for the updates, Eorzea! I'll go and check these features out now ^^ I like how you've made the status updates more facebook-like, and I always wanted to be able to see the topics I've been in / created. In an older forum I was in it was possible to see ALL posts and threads that you've made on the forum since you registered, so it's good that I'll be able to do the same here ^^ (well, almost)

You're welcome! :D

Oh, and I almost forgot! The Search feature is now even more complex/detailed/capable. Give it a try.

I really like being able to preview topics before entering them. Being able to see the first and last post is awesome. I'm not much of a facebook / twitter guy but everything is a welcome addition.

I think the new status updates are really cool! And I think it's really nice that we now have a place where we can look at all of the threads we have posted in.

Having a way to quickly view all the topics you have posted in is one of the best features on firums period. I don't understand why soooo many very big websites neglect that feature. I've only had it on the Resistance game forums and I've always loved that feature. It really helps to keep track of your posts and reply to people who have replied and keep the conversation going. (I know you can subscribe to topics, but most people don't do that for every thread, usually just very important ones.)

After tinkering around with the new features it feels like the forum has had them all the time! They work well ^^ I agree with PinkMermaid, that having the option to view all our threads and posts we have made is a very important feature. How else would I know that I've created 98 threads in total? xD Anyway, after these updates I'm looking forward to what else you've got in store for us over the coming months :3

The mobile set up has changed (I know because I accessed the forums the other night from my iPod Touch). It looks more...posh on a mobile now, haha. At the bottom left of the page it should say "Full Site", or something along those lines. Click that and it will be like you're accessing the forums from your PC ^^

Oh, and I also double posted when I posted on the new forums from my iPod, I'm not too sure why it does it.
