[FORUMS] Updates Jan 19th

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd let you in on a few new features of the forum. We just added a server-status image for all styles. You can see it at the top of each page, and below the first post of every thread. Keep in mind that at times this can be incorrect, but for the most part it should be a good indicator of the TC status.

Another interesting feature of the new vBulletin software is Social Groups. While these were introduced in the old version of vBulletin, they have received several upgrades. If you go to your User Control Panel, under the Networking options you can find Social Groups. From here, you can browse and join any social groups, and even create your own. Once a member of a group, you can create discussions, much like you would create a new thread on the forums. Please obey forum rules when creating and posting in social groups.

Finally, for those of you who are security-conscious, you can limit what visitors can view on your profile. Go to your User Control Panel, and under the "Your Profile" heading, you will see a link to Profile Privacy. From there, you can customize what permissions, if any, users and guests have.

If you have any ideas for features that you'd like added to the forums, feel free to send me a PM or email phantomleader@swgemu.com

Enjoy!
