Guess most of the regular visitors would have noticed that things seems little different round here - that's because we have now updated the site to use a new and improved version of the software. The update has meant transferring all of the data from the old site, and converting it to work with the new software - it's practically a brand new website!
The transfer is mostly finished, but there are still a few things to transfer over - namely the photo and video view counts as these have currently been reset to zero, the points competition, the events map and some of the tags.
There are a bunch of new features including a new navigation system, a brand new user menu, new user photo and video galleries and a brand new layout.
All of the original features are still here, but each one has been improved and updated with a new layout, some have also been given additional features - for example, each new event in the events section now gets it's very own forum, photo and video galleries , and the ability to send out broadcasts to the events attendeed - allowing you to arrange and discuss the event and even post up pics and videos of it afterwards - pretty cool huh!
We've also addded a facebook style wall to everyone's profiles - this allows you post links, images, videos and messages to each others profiles,
There's a heap of other improvements - both small and large - and too many to list in thier enteirety, here's a quick list of the ones I can think of
- Improved photo and video uploading
- Fliickr photo embedding
- Direct photo uploading for posts
- 'Latest' feed displays latest activity across whole network
- Improved categories and tags section
- Improved search section
Of course - we will still continue to develop the site and improve it by adding more features and refining those already here, so if you would like to see something specific included, just give me a holler.
Don't foget to spread the word!
