Lynette!!  I like the additions to CHL!  Now can post pictures to the forums and also can use the multi-media conference room. Must learn how to use this conference room though.  :-D

P.S.  Just noticed the Site Announcement at the top of the homepage.  Should have posted my comment there.  Sorry!  Too eager to share my delight!   :lol:

Glad you like it. I was upgrading as you posted so... sorry if things were down. I'm done with the updates and I *hope* there  are no issues. The forum has some new features, many only visible to admin that will help easier admin but as you move around you'll find some small improvements here and there But the biggest improvement I'm really happy about are:

New Entries since your last visit. I love this. To find this, you will go to the main forum page, you will notice a drop down on the top most that says "main options" click "view unread topics" that should bring up all the new topics that you haven't read yet or rather the topics with new entries since your last visit.

If you want to make use of this feature remember you only have a certain window in time. If you logged in for several minutes and hit that then you'll find no new posts because the system cannot figure out when was your 'last visit'

If you choose "view new posts" I think this is new within last 24 hours or something like that.

Of course, the latest posts will still be available in the home page. They will be the latest 15 posts within 1 day.

2nd thing I'm really excited to try is... the forum will now automatically post an intro whenever a new member logs in for the first time. :bounce: So... no more lurking muahahahaha :-P. Too bad it doesn't work back the last couple of days but our new members have been really good at intros so that's cool :-D

Oh and yes the dates are also more 'friendly' you will notice 'Yesterday' or 'today' as you browse the forum - easy to figure things out esp if you're a little number impaired like me!

Good job, Lynette. I also like this new reply window that follows the message we view.

Glad you liked the minor improvements.

Note, only pictures with .jpg, jpeg or gif to be attached (uploaded) to forums. And the maximum size is 1000kb so if you encounter error uploading check the image type and the size.
