New Forum Goes Live!

Recommended Posts

Hi All.

If you are reading this then you have passed the first challenge and found your way to the new forum. You'll soon see its quite a bit different to the old one and hopefully for the better.

As always its going to take some getting use to, so please take the time to look around, try things out and recommend to others cool new features that you may find.

Every member is going to need to sort themselves out with a password reminder - which will take them through an automated process in order to set a new password. Get your reminder here

http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...Reg&CODE=10

Once you have your password you can change it to whatever you like via the 'My Controls' link at the top. Personally I'd make it the same as the club one but its up to you.

Secondly you will need to set yourself new signatures if you want them. These now have constraints

- jpeg only

- max one image, upto 300 x 50px

- max three lines of text.

Signatures will now only be shown the first time your post on any page, to stop repeated showing (and downloading of graphics in long threads)

To make up a little for this, you can upload your own avatar up to 90x90px. These must feature just an RC model, part or something very tightly linked to the hobby. No people. No animations. Once you've uploaded them they will be reviewed and cleared after which time they appear.

Couple of instantly useful/interesting news posts are at the top of this and every page.

- Forum Home. This is sort of a forum over view with lots of interesting info and quick links to different areas

- View New Post. Exactly what it says, click it and you'll see all the new posts since you last visit.

Another thing that caught me out was the fact there are two 'reply' buttons, a small one with quote marks on it and a big one further down the page. The smaller one automatically includes the previous post as a quote in it. The other create a new blank post.

More features will trickle out over the next few days, including some tight links into the showrooms and subscriber options.

If you have problems please list them in the 'problems with this forum thread' with as much detail as you can provide.

Cheers

Chris
