    We upgraded to a new version of the software the forum runs on. This was done mainly because the new version has better security and management features than the version we were running previously (we were spending about 40 minutes a week deleting spambot accounts), but there are also many new useful features everyone will benefit from. Here are a few of them...

    * Started typing but don't have time to finish your post? Click SAVE under the reply window and you can now save a draft of it.
    * Bookmark threads you want to keep an eye on
    * Email threads to yourself or to a friend
    * A new "Friends and Foes" function, similar to A.net's respected users list
    * New navigation links at the top of each page: View unanswered posts, View active topics, View new posts, View your posts
    * A couple of other really great things which we haven't decided how to implement yet

    What is the issue you're having?

    On the main page (index.htm I presume) when using the menu bar for forum and clicking login you are redirected to a 440 page. Probably just need to update the links.

    Re: Software Update Today

    Would it be possible to move the "Mark forums read" link back down to underneath all the forums (on the main forum page) like it used to be? I scroll down the list, opening the forums with new posts in new tabs as I go, and I like to mark everything read at the bottom so that everything is marked as "read" (or to me, already seen).

    Re: Software Update Today

    If I recall correctly when someone posted a link and if you clicked it, it opened up in another window automatically. Now, it just redirects the browser to that link. Does this have anything to do with the new site format?

    Re: Software Update Today

    Guys, thank you. All of your suggestions are "tiny" but important. We are working on the big pieces first, and will get to work on the rest of them soon as well....this includes moving a couple of those smaller things around some.

    Please keep those small differences and suggestions coming. Thanks!

    Re: Software Update Today

    For those concerned, the "Log In" and "register" links in the site's navigation bar have now been fixed. You may now continue to use that to get to the boards.

    Re: Software Update Today

    Three features added today:

    • Links within posts now open in a new window.
    • The Quick Reply box at the bottom of each topic page now displays formatting buttons and smilies.
    • You may now add YouTube videos directly into your posts rather than linking to them. On YouTube, copy the address in the URL box to the right of the video. Click the YouTube button on the NYCA post or reply page, and simply paste the YouTube URL between the [youtubeThere is a minor bug with the new Quick Reply box in that the Font Color selection box is broken. This should be fixed shortly.

    Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any problems or suggestions!

    I keep on seeing MSN [BOT], YAHOO [BOT] in the Registered Users line, is that just some error or are the bots going to be removed?

    Those are good bots. They absorb and search content on the site to help bring people here who do searches for various topics that they might come across on our boards.
