After many weeks of pain, sweat, lack of sleep and increase in coffee intake I can proudly welcome you to the new and improved DeeperBlue.net Forums! Before you take the forums for a spin I have a few pointers for you.
As you can see the layout is a lot different and there’s drop down navigation just about everywhere. If you happen to find a problem (or can’t find where something is) please post in [ame="http://forums.deeperblue.net/forumdisplay.php?f=18"]http://forums.deeperblue.net/forumdisplay.php?f=18[/ame]. If you would like to test any new features please do so in the test forum [ame="http://forums.deeperblue.net/forumdisplay.php?f=68"]http://forums.deeperblue.net/forumdisplay.php?f=68[/ame].
This upgrade marks a major change in our site and we expect everyone will need some time adjusting to the software changes, the forum changes and all the new features. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and if you really get stuck (or can’t login), email us at support@deeperblue.net.
Thank you for your patience with the upgrade; I know a lot of you were eager to get back on. Your feedback is more than welcome to let us know what you think!
- First off, you may want to review the FAQ http://forums.deeperblue.net/faq.php which explains most of the major features on the board.
- For most of you, you will want to update your Avatar and your Personal Photo via the User CP.
- You may also want to setup a daily or weekly email digest to keep you “up to date” with what’s going on in your favorite threads. The new forum software will let you subscribe to threads in a whole new way; you can be emailed for every post, for entire forums and much, much more, all in a digest manner.
- Forums also work in a threaded mode for those of you who prefer a bbs style board.
- The Karma System has now been taken offline pending a major overhaul. This system caused quite a lot of discussion over the years and when it re-appears we will let you know how it has changed.
- USENET Posts now DO NOT appear in the "Get New Posts" option, they have been seperated out into a USENET Only new posts option.
- We will be adding a lot of extra options to the forums over the next few weeks, including (but not limited to) expanded profiles, and RSS Feeds.
- We are going to go through a major overhaul of our Mentor Team so if you'd like to get involved please email me through the system.
