Cindy and I have been able to view these changes and it looks pretty cool!
I think the Shoutbox may take the place of a daily chat, it's looks like real time chatting but not 100% sure since it was just a sample.

Interesting. I like the photo capabilities. I don't post pics cuz it's a PITA to load it somewhere else first.

We have a shout box on my Ren forum (came with the new update.) It doesn't get used very often, but I think it's just because we don't have a clue what it's for! We also don't do anything like a daily chat, those that want to just go to the chat room.
I love the photo idea, too! Lots of good things in the update. Any idea how long we'll be down while it gets updated?

Exciting! I can't wait for the photo feature too, and the ability to "like" a post will be awesome!

Good to know Ang!
It doesn't say how long it will be down to upgrade. I will see if I can find out!

Exciting!! I've been wanting to change my picture for awhile now but have been avoiding it since its such a pain to upload it somewhere else first. Tagging a member will be helpful too! Looks like lots of good upgrades. Do you know when the upgrade will be?

Should switch this weekend. Still not sure how long the site could be down.

Just wondering...
Will we lose our bookmarks? If so, how do we save them, somewhere?
Will we lose our pm's that we have saved here? If so, how do we save them, somewhere?

Sorry Sue I don't have any answers to those questions! The place where we can ask or look up already asked questions is very hard to navigate. So we're just going to have to go with the flow and deal with what happens!

Dude, this is gonna take some getting used to! Lol! Not something to do while drinking. So on that note, I'll figure it out at a later date and time. |

Is there a way to make it stop asking me every time I try to read a thread if I want the mobile version. I generally browse on my tablet and don't want to pay for the app.

I love the "top" button in the bottom! That makes me very happy. The constant question to buy the app is rather annoying, however. |
