Gotta see. The site have changed but i still good

[Aaron Webster]

I like it, but one thing i dislike is when you want to watch a video such as the 06 worlds you don't see the whole thing you have to scroll to get the whole view

Aaron,

Thanks very much for the feedback. That will depend on your monitor's resolution, so its something I couldn't see. It is correctable. I will fix it tomorrow.

Thanks!

Of course I like it but, then again, I'm biased.

I like it. It looks nicer and I like being able to download the videos instead of just playing them. This allows me to watch the in slow mode and one frame at a time.

What are the differences other than this I haven't noticed much.

[Chris Ⓐ LeRoux]

Ryan,

I understand. When I first saw the software, it seemed to be pretty much the same as the old. But, there are many new features. Many are in the back to help administrate the site, secure it, and manage it. But, there are many for the members as well. Here are some. I probably won't remember them all right now but I may come back in and add some more as I remember them. More info can be found in the help section at the top as well:

* integrated links list with members ability to submit links for approval, rank links, with statistics
* integrated image gallery for members to post their images, rank members images, comment on members images, etc
* integrated calender linked to posts (I will be making use of this soon for entry forms and results)
* private message multiple members at once, bcc private messages
* more ways to upload avatars, more (none before) pre-loaded avatars to choose from
* message topic descriptions in addition to subject line
* more advanced memberlist sort and search options
* More advanced search options
* site staff contact listings
* more post bbc formatting options, including the youtube embed button, mp3 embed button, etc (check out all the buttons). I may add one more for other video sites besides youtube.
* applaud or smite posters (karma)
* more smileys
* more navigation features all across site

Okay, thats a lot of them that will appear to the users. We lost spell check, but thats actually in the software but the host/server we are on doesn't offer it. It also slows down the site and can even cause it to crash. Its better to use google toolbar or iespell or something, which are free- just goggle free spell checker or those names or something.

Cheers
