[size="3"]It has been a long time in the making, but 968Forums.com just went through a huge software upgrade, has a new look, and a ton of new stuff. Take some time to poke around and see all the great new features and areas.
We still have a couple of things to work on, (like the logo, sponsor ads, the nav bar, etc) and we will continue to work on the site over the next couple of weeks, but most of the changes have been made, and we think you will like them. Until it is finished, you will see a few things move around, and more things get added, but we didn't want to keep the board down any longer than was absolutely necessary, and felt it was close enough to put back online. Over the next few days, you may see brief service interruptions. This will be necessary in order to make some of the changes. You will probably find a few minor things missing right now, but be assured that we will get them back up very soon. Please bear with us as we complete the changes.
Many things have been made easier to access, easier to see, and we think the new features will make the experience a lot better, and far superior to the capabilities of any other 968 site.
There are a LOT of new features in your Control Panel (drop down below your name in the upper right corner) I.E. you can now select how you view new content ("since last visit", or "not read"). This will dramatically improve your ability to keep up with the latest.
The help menu is expanded, giving you many answers to common site usage questions. The Tutorial is still there in the menu bar as well.
The chat feature is now enabled. Talk to people in real time. We will be working to set up a "tech session" on a scheduled basis. Hold down the "option" key on your keyboard to open it in a new window so you can leave the board up in its own window. We will be watching this and making changes to the service level as needed.
The Search function is expanded, making it easier to search. You can just use the simple search feature, and select from the drop down in the right side of that box to select the area in which to search, or you can click the "Magnifying Glass" icon on the right of that to enter the Advanced Search Area, which is extremely helpful in seeking something specific. Click the "Gear" icon on the right of that to search the Help section.
Blogs are up and running, and the entry date bug is fixed. Feel free to start a blog about your car or whatever.
In all we think that these new changes will really help to further set this site head and shoulders above all others as the best resource on the planet for the Porsche 968 Enthusiast.[/size]
