We are in the process of upgrading our Forum software to a much later version, we are several years behind.

  • The look and feel will change some, as we will new features, to the bring the site to a more modern site. I'm still going through them so I can document them for you.
  • One of the biggest items is that we will be able to support Video Uploads - as this takes a lot more room on the server, I have to look at the cost for this as well. Right now, I think it will be available to those who financially support the site.
  • We are migrating from User Albums to a Media Gallery. We will migrate the existing albums to the new albums, but they have many additional features and the options for viewing and sharing are much improved.
  • Our Showcase of Men will be upgraded and give us a few more cool tools, more to come on this one.
  • Better Cookie Management to address some of the concerns mentioned with staying logged in.
  • Better Mobile / E-mail integration options
And many more that I will go into more detail as I test out the site more fully.

If anyone is interested in helping test out the site, please send me a Conversation with your interest level.

We will begin in 15 minutes for the upgrade, as we convert the site, not all functionalities will be available until we get it configured, so it will be about 2 hours before everything is working as we would expect.

One of the big changes, is we will convert our current user galleries to the build in media gallery and thus allow a much better experience for viewing and creating. We will migrate all the photos over.

Social Groups is not a feature that was extensively used so it has been converted into regular forums. We'll be looking at it over the next few days to see what we want to do with it. We know some of them show "No Permission" right now.

One great new feature is you can get Notifications on your phone or desktop/laptop when there's a new Thread, Post, or Media if you wish.

Another great feature is the totally redesigned Post Editor. It's much easier to write posts on here AND drafts are auto-saved so if your browser crashes, you don't lose anything!

A much better layout and design. I'm note sure if it was a feature before, but I've just found a light theme! :D
