This aint the new server. This is still the old one, the new features is the cause of that Dan has upgraded the Forum software.
The new server should be up in the weekend, AFAIK.
Anyway, the new features are:

Who's Online?
Polls (Only Gan Con and User Created Polls)
New Forum: NWN: The Undermountain Project

That should be it.


see ya!

Notables regarding UBB 6.2 are:

1. "Recent Visitors," a more comprehensive implementation of "Who's Online"

2. Post preview function

3. Enhancements to the user search feature (new searchable fields, such as IP at registration, IP at last post, and birth date)

4. After a reply or edit, you are now taken to your post in the topic

5. Enhanced tools for COPPA support

6. User birth date field (required for COPPA, optional if you have not enabled COPPA)

7. Printer-friendly topic view

8. XHTML templates (~99% compliant, thanks to Allen Ayres of UBBDev!)

9. UBB Accelerator updated to comply with PHP 4.1.0's new security model

10. Topic authors may now toggle email notification from on to off and vice-versa by editing their post

11. Private forums may now be set to disallow new topics or replies (previously, new topics and replies were forced 'on')

And a bunch of other things.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

ROTFL! Seems like your answers got more Questions, Z!

I suspect some of that is stuff members won't need to deal with SecretMaster. Most likely there are many features that are mainly for the administrative people on a board. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You really should mention the button that delivers fresh chocolate-glazed donuts through your serial port, and the Swedish meseuse who appears once a session ends to give you a backrub. Very nice touches, that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Post preview is the thingi wherby you can see your post before you post... private forums are probably ones which can only be accessed by certain member groups.
