I've added a couple new features to the forums and changed some of the look. As you can see in the front page the navigation is setup differently and you have a personal feature box now. What do you guys think?

Also if you logout it gives a sorta please register type of box, hopefully this will get more registered people that start to post so we can grow these forums......I'm working on getting the personal feature box to now show up if you are not logged in or unregistered, so far I haven't figured it out just yet.

Also if you go into your control panel, you'll see a new box for something called a referrer id....check that out and let me know what you think. There is an explanation of what it means in the box.

So far I like it! BTW - what's My SL Points?

SLPoints is basically how many posts you have.

I thought you get "freebies" when you achieve enough points like extra icons or a special "SL" status.

BTW: These boards seem to be much faster since the change or my pipeline suddenly became better

At this point in time no......I may set something up for that though at in the future.

Note, I just made another edit, in My SLBoards (Your control panel) I made the navigation easier I think, and now there's a quick link to change your avatar, so hopefully more people will have an avatar.

BTW, the loading faster is due to a couple edits I made in the design as well as the new server and 3 new pipelines being used to output SL to the world.

Alright I have figured out how to do it so that the personal features don't show up when you are not registered or not logged in. Logout and go the main forum page to see for yourself

Also you may notice now that I have implemented a new feature which is basically a sponsor for each category on the front page. I have defaulted them to the red cross to help get donations for last weeks tragedy.

I can also have seperate sponsors for each forum as well.

If you know any companies that would be interested in sponsoring let me know

I didn't like the new way of the forum , on the home page .

You dont know who reply to you ,it not fast ( maybe it a bug of your server )because i only see the tread with the reply in a() but no nickname and no #of read

this is soemthing i like ,the way you can check how much people can read the tread.

Just come into the forums and check new posts......I changed the look on the homepage for certain reasons, one major one, to promote content better. Also I took off some information that is shown, beacuse all I really want to promote is the actual thread, who cares (Based on just looking at the headline) who posted and how many reads it has had?
