TalkOhio Upgraded to New Version

[Peggy]

We have upgraded TalkOhio to a new version of vBulletin. With this upgrade comes several new and exciting features! Such as -

- Interactive profiles! Including -
Personal picture albums (You can make them private or public)
Friends List
Commenting in profiles and albums
Individual profile styling- Social Groups

- Prefixes in thread title (Such as the prefix on this thread (NEWS). If you have any suggestions for prefixes, let Kent or I know)

- Thread tags

- Enhanced spam prevention on the forums

- Attachment viewing with Lightbox (Clicking on an attached image will now open a lightbox rather than open a new window, with the image scaled to fit the viewport. A click on the image in the lightbox will open it in a new window as before)

And much, much more!

Within the next week, I'll be attempting to write an FAQ with instructions for each of these features. However, due to the fact that I'm packing and moving during the next 2 weeks, please understand that this might take some time to accomplish.

I hope you enjoy the new features we've brought to you, and that you'll visit us often.

Peggy, Kent - Great job on the site all around! :) I just downloaded a copy of beta 5 to test out. Ok.. Curiosity got the best of me.. LOL

Thanks Jim!

I feel that the Beta 5 is safe enough to upgrade a live forum to. I doubt there will be another beta version, most likely an RC (release candidate). This site seems to be running pretty well, no problems yet, that I can tell. :)
