Site Update - Status

[Trana]

The website update is coming along nicely. We are hoping to unveil it before the end of July.

The new site will have the following features requested by our members:

New Photo Gallery
Inline photo attachment to messages
Easier subscribe-to threads
Private Message notification for AOL users
More prominent chat room
Improved search engine
Online calendar for group buy or meetup scheduling
Faster server, more bandwidth

When these changes are applied, the website will look very different. All of the accounts and messages will be preserved, but you may have a hard time finding things in the beginning. I actually think that the new menu is easier to navigate than the existing system.

If you have any additional requests, please respond to this message or send a PM.

I really like the Online calender should really help with the group buys.

Can't wait to see all the new stuff.
What about PM notification for non aol members? I get good notification now with MSN hotmail. That won't change will it?

No, MSN will not be affected.

perhaps the e-mail notifications can be set-up like RC and other boards in that you get one e-mail after the first new post to a subscribed thread and thats it till you visit the site again. because the way it is now we get an e-mail for each new post (which can be like 10 e-mails for the same thread)
