Welcome back!
You'll probably have noticed that the forum has been turned off for the last few hours! I've been working hard at resolving the user profile errors we'd been receiving. It turned out that when restoring the database backup, my host had fluffed it up! And vBulletin has thousands of files to upload; and there was no way I was individually going through each directory/file. So I re-uploaded the entire site. Problem is now solved, and you should be able to view poster profiles/make comments on poster profiles.
In an effort to combat the recent influx of spammers, I have changed the registration question, that has been used for site registrations over the last 12 months. In addition to this, I've also disabled the ability for NEW users to be able to add links to their posts. To be able to add a link to your post, you now need to have posted at least 5 times.
*COMING SOON*
- Live threads! This works extremely well for fast paced threads; if you remain on a page, any new posts added will automagically appear! :D A lot like the Facebook homepage
- Tag posters! The ability to tag another poster in a post, expressing a direct response to something that they've said. The poster will then receive a notification indicating and linking them to the post they've been tagged in; works the same way as a Twitter tag, i.e. @Neil
- Artist styles! More styles are coming, from your favourite pop starlets, including Kylie Minogue, Celine Dion, Ke$ha, Britney Spears & Rihanna! This is almost all thanks to Demz who has created us some fabulous banners!
And whilst we're on the subject of *NEW* designs, I hope that you like our brand new style!! A massive thank you to Demz who designed the banner for this current style! This style will be made the default style for the forseeable future, once registered however you can either keep this style, or change to one of the previous styles Falling Into You style is a firm favourite amongst many of you!].
Demz stepped up, and answered this (http://www.vanityedge.com/forum/showthread.php?5380) request of mine. If you're still interested in designing us a banner for a style, then DO read that topic. Once again, THIS (http://www.vanityedge.com/forum/showthread.php?5380) is the link for the design request topic!
I've added a poll to the thread; please vote in it, and the winning artist will be the first to receive the notorierty/pleasure of an artist style here at Vanity Edge! You are allowed to select more than one option.
