Website Update

[*Larien*]

Ok, DK has been very dedicated in updating our website and unfortunately I don't even have the time to thank him like I should. Also, I have not been updating you guys as you should be. Hence, I am going to give you the changes that last occurred to the website. For those of you who have no desire to read this, then don't, for those of you that care....here it is. These are not all the changes just the ones that really apply to you guys as users.


Private Message Changes
Read receipts are automatically accepted when a PM is replied to.
A new Quick Reply can be used to reply to PM's.
A new user option is available to set the default value for 'Save Copy' which is also used with Quick Reply.
PM's can be ordered by Title, Date and Sender.
When ordered, PM's are grouped by:
Title - Alphabetical ranges (A-H, I-P, Q-Z, 0-9 and other) - Non ASCII chars are grouped based on transliteration where possible
Date - Today, Yesterday, individual day names, Last Week, 2 Weeks, Last Month, Older, etc.
Sender - Grouped by Sender
Private Messages can be filtered by Sender, Title, a given date period, and whether the message has been read or not.
Message Throttling. Admins can define a time period and the maximum amount of message each usergroup can send within that period.
Message selections are remembered over multiple pages for bulk actions (Move, delete, mark as read etc).

Profile Privacy
With the appropriate permission, users can now configure which parts of their profile is visible, and to who. The configurable components are:
Profile Picture
Visitor Messages
Contact Info
Albums
About Me
Friends
Recent Visitors
Group Memberships
Custom Field Blocks where the admin has allowed it
The components can be configured to be visible to:
Everyone
Registered Members
Contacts
Friends
Generally information is only hidden/displayed within the user profile page with the exception of Albums which also affects the ability to view the albums.
Also, custom field blocks can be configured by the admin as to whether they will be included in users' privacy settings.

Albums
Pictures can now be moved from one album to another.
Album covers are regenerated when moving images if the cover is moved, or the destination album has no cover.
The default albums view now displays recently updated public albums.

Lightbox
Lightboxes can now be used to view all images in a post.
Next and Previous buttons can be used to navigate the attachments, and wrap when the first/last image has been reached

Trust me, there is a lot more than this. However, the other stuff doesn't immediatly apply to you from what i read. However, if any of the other Admins see something I missed feel free to add it.

Always

Thank you DK. I didn't realize how complex the site was.
