Welcome to the upgraded AVForums
« on: January 07, 2007, 03:15:39 pm »
Hi everyone,

I've upgraded the forum to SMF 1.1.1, and soon we will have a small portal as the front page with news and other information rather than the current board index (the forums will remain in the background of course). As usual, please let me know of any issues you may encounter - either by email or IM (Gtalk/Jabber) at pcholakov@gmail.com.

To learn more about the features of the new forum software, please visit: http://docs.simplemachines.org/.

Happy new year and enjoy the forum!

Best regards,
Pavel

There is a new feature which allows you to list your equipment in your profile, thus interested fellow members can see it - to access it, simply click on Profile at the top and then follow the Forum Profile Information link :)

I'll explore adding some additional emoticons, I'd forgotten about that! You'll see the migrated posts from the old forum display with some funny placeholders where the old emoticons are missing :(

Coolness! Especially the editing tools... Am I hallucinating or does it browse quicker too?
OK! I've had it! I don't give anymore Kharma. Kharma should work in mysterious ways...

Any speed-ups would be coming from the code, as we're still on the same host and database. I haven't noticed much difference but there very well might be.
