As some of you may have realized, the forums were offline for several hours last Saturday for a major upgrade. Some of the consequences of the upgrade can be seen on the forums.
1. The last post is not displayed in the forums list so that people don't have to click on a topic in order to see who posted the last time
2. People can now create a private topic with another individual just by clicking the name of a person on a contact list. This is almost like sending a private email to that person. This should be useful for people who don't want to reveal their email address on the site and would like to communicate through private topics with others privately on the site.
3. The user profile now shows up as a popup window.
The upgrade also contains a lot of administrative tools that were not available before. As the membership and postings increase on this site, it has become more and more difficult to clean up both the membership and the postings. There are also improved security.
