Posted October 21, 2012 SoccerShouts Updates for Q4 2012 I seem to do a pretty bad job whenever I create a monthly updates thread. The last couple of "monthly" threads I ended up posting to for a full month or two past when I should have created a new thread. So, I figure I will try a new format here and see if I do better by creating a quarterly thread. So far this month we've had a few updates. New Modern theme Classic and Create skins were just updated for compatibility. Classic also got a slightly new layout. All skins are now showing our social bar, which allows for one click access to our Facebook, instant page translation, and site chat with your online friends. The gallery categories were updated to combine Player and Team images. Member graphics/portfolios can now be created as private folders. Topic hover preview, previously only available when viewing the list of topics in a forum, now works on the board home when highlighting threads. Video forum threads now include a thumbnail preview. These images are drawn from the first graphic used in the thread. When viewing posts, you can now highlight and selectively quote from a post. Similarly, @mention is available and will notify the person mentioned. In user notification preferences, you can now opt to be notified if your posts or topics are edited/moved/deleted by a moderator. That's it so far, but we will have more to come, as we are in a constant state of development. In the future I am still looking to start a monthly member spotlight, add tutorials on how to get the most out of the forum and its extensive features, have even more themes, and a redesign on the main page. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know. I'm determined to make SoccerShouts the best and friendliest soccer community and feedback from our members can help make that happen. -Bill 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 23, 2012 Not sure that will work Luke, since the BB code for member wasn't used. At least, the notification won't be properly sent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2012 That's a nice update I must say. I noticed a thumbnail preview of the threads early and liked it. Also new themes are always welcome for me so looking forward to the upcoming ones, for now usin' Modern and absolute delighted with it! Not sure how's @mention system works though, is it come on private messages or just other way? Well I'll figure it out anyway. Also would love to see a tutorials, guess it will be quite useful & intersting stuff! And also would like to know what does 'a monthly member spotlight' means (: Good work guys, I appreciate every single bit of it so thank you for updates and for keepin' this place sharp & lookin' good!
