Hey all.
So a couple of nights ago there was a site upgrade to the latest version of the forum software. It's got a few fixes to make things a bit faster - but some cool addons as well - including the following:
Thread Tagging
A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read.

Any users who then click on these tags will not only find all thread that have the same tag as the one clicked, but will also contribute to the building of a search tag cloud, which gives users a quick guide as to what has been searched for recently and most frequently.

The tag cloud for our site can be found on the narbar above or by clicking here (http://www.paintball.net.nz/tags.php).
Attachment Viewing Lightbox
Clicking on an attached image will now open a lightbox rather than open a new window, with the image scaled to fit the browser viewport. A click on the image in the lightbox will open it in a new window as before.
For an example click on the photo attached below.
Social Bookmarking of Threads
Administrators can now define a list of their favorite social bookmarking sites and have them available for use on the showthread page for bookmarking threads.

User CP
Some cool changes here - have a look at your User CP (http://www.paintball.net.nz/usercp.php) now!
Summary
That's about it for the public stuff (there's loads for the Admin team as well) - and there will be more released for you all to use once we get a feel for how it works and a general desire to release it.
Cheers
