Hi Guys-

Here's a short rundown on the current forum upgrade.

We should have all the old modifications working within the next 5-7 days. Most are online now, but we're still working on the latest post display and adding classifieds integration to the forum. We should have this done shortly. Sorry for the delay, only so much time ...

We've added a chat feature to the top of the main page. This should be cool. We're watching it's effect on the server load and performance closely, so please report any forum time-outs that you get. I think it'll be fine, though. Please use the chat and let's give it a run. We'll add it to all pages shortly and hopefully you can keep up with discussions no matter where you are on the boards.

We've built a better command center display at the top of the mainpage. This shows you information on your posts, provides quick links to the main areas (new posts, etc.) and displays your avatar.

There will be more new features to announce later, but thanks for your patience and support on the upgrade.

Alex

Thanks, Alex. I noticed that the format supports Firefox browser now.

We'd like to see the schedule and information about the knifemaking school posted soon.

Got some people anxious for the information. :)

i am being auto logged out of the forums at random times,also whenever i refresh the main forum page. any ideas?

Sounds like wonderful stuff!

I still cannot use the emotioncons...but maybe that will change as things get updated. I gotta go find this chat feature!
