Forum Software Upgrade

The newest version of DCForum has been released. This new version has a ton of new features:

- Personal Inbox (instead of the current clunky system for sending users email)
- New messages since last visit feature (I already wrote this myself for the current version)
- Personal Bookmarks (ie, book-mark individual message threads!)
- The ability to hide profiles, email, and inbox
- Display who's online
- ICQ hack (ICQ chat directly with other users online)
- Number of messages posted by a user (this version takes into account posts made before the change. My version didn't.)
- Better table of contents
- More emotion icons with help link
- Better URL linker
- Optional Expand or Collapse Threading in Main Listing
- Topic Autosensing
- Better Printer Friendly Format
- Extensive search capability - Keyword search by author, subject, and message. Keyword search one forum or all. Keyword search archive.
- Option to indent messages in threads - Some like it, some don't.

This new version will be installed this weekend. Expect the boards to be down periodically during the weekend.

I'll agree Brent, I will also be glad when this draggy stuff stops.

The "draggy stuff" is going to require about 160 hours of my time in the next 2 weeks to get the server moved.
