Update to WinVistaForums.com

[bios]

Good day!

If you visit the site often you may have wondered what is going on lately. We have currently made some changes. This includes new features and updates. You will not be able to see most of the updates, but they do improve the overall usefulness of WinVistaForums.com!

• Our content management (front page) system has been updated with bug fixes.
• The entire theme of the site has been updated for faster load times and ease of use.
• The image gallery is back online (it was down for a couple days).
• Registered members no longer see any advertisements of any kind.
• Our profile system has been updated with bug fixes and should respond faster.
• When you post a link to certain media sites like YouTube or Google Video, the video will now appear and embed in your post.
• New users will now receive an e-mail once a day by default if anyone replies to their post. (This can be disabled in User Control Panel)

We are currently experimenting with several changes to the website over the next coming days. Thanks for your support.

Update 19th of Sept: The site was pulled down briefly to make some changes to improve performance. Sorry for any inconvenience!

The stylesheets were optimized. There are now more font and color choices.

If you are a registered member, you can now include complete details about your computer(s) under Settings | Edit Profile. The details you fill out will be searchable on your member profile and can be seen by other forum members to help diagnose computer problems. Some of this information is also automatically added to the forum statistics page.

We have added new dynamic user content to the homepage using Javascript and AJAX. If you don't like it you can still bookmark the classic homepage.

The forum software has been updated for security, and the blogs area has been search engine optimized. Blog posts will also respond to pingbacks and trackbacks. This allows server communication to blogs on other websites.

We hope you like these changes.

Have a nice day.

As we have already announced, we recently changed the server we are using to a new physical location. It can now handle much more traffic. The web server has also been updated and is running with better performance.

Thanks for all your work guys, I'm sure I speak for many when I say it's very much appreciated..

We are working with a professional development studio, EyeStorm, to re-design WinVistaForums.com. We are also going to be upgrading our forum software (vBulletin) around this time to a newer version, which has new features. I'll update this when more information is available.
