EmperorFunctionality confirmed to be working:
- creating an account
- logging in/logging out
- displaying available forums
- displaying threads in each forum with last post/replies/views info
- posting new threads
- posting replies
- subscribing to threads
- incorporating custom tags into post content (entirely new set of tags similar to those implemented in other forum software)
- editing posts
- buddy list
- ignore list
- ignore functionality (options to include blocking a user's posts entirely or blanking out the text with a link to display the text)
- bookmarks (each user will be able to add posts to a personal list of bookmarks for easy retrieval--great for classic "reference" threads)
- user profile settings (password, e-mail, etc.)
- avatar uploads
- user preference settings (thread age, threads per page, etc.)
In progress:
- user post history (threads originated by user and posts within threads)
- private message sending/receiving
- sending e-mails (via site contact form--no public displays of e-mail addresses)
- search
This is not a comprehensive list of forum features. I haven't forgotten the suggestions thread. This is merely what I consider necessary to go live with the software.
Most of the items in progress involve minor retooling of the core functionality related to completed items, so now that the core set of functionality is complete, finishing the rest should go quickly.
Please, no "when" questions. I'll post when it's ready.

EmperorNothing works on that page. IE users shouldn't bother looking at it. It completely falls apart.
Still a work-in-progress, but it's coming along.

Jedi SpiritI suprised you didn't object to the Peewee Herman pic with your name, Dayv.
That was the first thing I noticed as well.

Emperorhey jay are you going to have the costum colour function again, cause i havent been a fan of those colours i have mine changed right now. the grey on grey on grey jsut doesnt work for me
Not at launch, no. I'll probably put together some alternative color schemes later on, but I doubt I'll build a color editor like the current software. Too much work for a function that very few people use. If you take some screen captures of a few forum pages and send them to me (preferably in GIF, PNG, or bitmap format to maintain color accuracy), I can try to build a color scheme that mimics what you're using.
Anybody else not like the color scheme, either in the current forum or the new design? It is pretty damn bland now that I take off my developer's glasses and look at it with my designer's glasses. It's tough for me to say because I haven't had my LCDs professionally calibrated and I don't know if they're color-correct. Plus, I've always preferred muted colors.
After the Mac expenditure, I don't really have any money left over for one of their studio LCDs, which I've heard have great out-of-the-box calibration.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Jedi SpiritThat's actually my avatar on another forum. It was handy at the time.
HA HA! Jay make funny! Pee Wee Herman... "handy." HA HA!
No pun intended, right Jay?
I like the look, too. Will take some getting used to, but it's doable.

EmperorHere's what it looks like in Firefox for Windows, and pretty much what it should look like in all browsers once I've finalized the browser detection and custom stylesheets. I have font smoothing turned on though, so the text will look different if you don't.
