Post by: chinclub on August 23, 2006, 04:32:20 PM

I have upgraded our board to the latest edition.  I will soon be adding some new features as well.  If you find any problems with the board please let me know!

New Addition.  You can now show your status: breeder, pet owner, or still looking.

Click on the profile button above then click on Forum Profile Information to choose your status.

Is there anything else you would like added to your profile?  I can now add all sorts of custom sections to be show on the profile page and/or above your avatar picture beside each post.  (See where it shows my status:breeder above my picture) Is there anything you would like to know about our members at a glance?

New Change:
New members who register with our forum now have to fill out form asking why they want to join and all new members must be approved before they can post.  This will hopefully stop all of those porn ads we have been getting lately!

I had to get rid of our extra themes and go back to this one because some of our new features wouldn't work on the other ones.

We now have appreciation points.  Whenever someone goes out of their way to be nice on the board, helps you out with a question, or does something great for someone else you can click on the [give a point]  link under their name to give them an appreciation point.

Is there a reason that all the text is centred?  is there a way to change that?  It's difficult to read that way.

Title: Re: Upgraded board
Post by: chinclub on August 25, 2006, 01:27:46 PM

It doesn't look centered to me.  What type of browser are you using?

Title: Re: Upgraded board
Post by: chinclub on August 25, 2006, 01:52:42 PM

I see, it was weird in IE.  I think I have fixed it now. Does it look ok on your browser?

Title: Re: Upgraded board
Post by: Stacy on August 25, 2006, 02:03:33 PM

Yep, its all better now.  ::nod::

More New Stuff!! 

Free chinclub.net email, arcade page full of games, and e-cards!!!

Well actually these aren't new.  We have been offering them for years but it seems they were so hidden in the site very few people found them.


Also, new items in the shop  like a chinchilla screensaver you can download!

::silly::Hi Jamie,

    I don't think it was forgotten as much as it was not seen ... I just went to it http://www.chinclub.net ...
The divider that has:
 "Local Chater List    Click your area of the map."
 on it, hides the Potpourri link.  I remember what it was under, or I wouldn't know where it is.   It could be the size of the new computer screens or could be the scripting.

Hmmm, maybe its a cpmputer setting. Do you have your computer set to larger font? On my browser if you click on View at the very top of your screen (Next to File Edit Go Bookmarks) there is a drop down choice for font size (or text size).  Make sure that is set to normal.  If you change it to a larger font it will make some websites do that.

 ::silly:: Wow, Jamie, did that make a big difference!  Thanks! I could not see anything below the top of Propori with the setting on large ... when I changed it to normal, then hit the refresh key, I could see it all (with a magnifying glass).   rofl
   On my computer it is View, then Text Size, then Largest to Smallest.  Put it on Medium and it works after you hit refresh.  :blush2:
