Happy June everybody!
I have just finished doing some upgrades on BTHSnews that improved both the forums and the main site.

Some noticeable changes:
  • New member window with notifications on the top right corner.
  • Facebook now connects a lot more thoroughly to the forums, you may notice that status updates can now be published to Facebook from the forums.
  • Replies to status updates can now be made.
  • Twitter account integration.
  • Many changes to profile customization, check them out in your User CP!
  • Link Sharing - you can share topics on many social sites from the topic's page, just scroll down!
  • Performance and search improvements...
  • Main site performance increase!
  • And of course bug fixes.
Other features have been added or improved as well, so look around!

Note: to take advantage of most of the new features, you should use the "IP.Board" skin.

Have a great summer!

Test YouTube auto-integration:



Yup now you can just paste a YouTube link into a post and it'll auto-format itself as an embedded video!

Proness o_ob

Still some problems though; viewing profiles: clicking on tabs (about me, topics, posts) causes a pop-up alert "Action failed"

I just edited some permissions, it should work now. It should also allow you to personalize the background of your profile (yes Connie you can use your renders as a background now)

My apologies that it disappointed you. Man, I haven't even touched photoshop or coded websites in ages =______= Watch me start up again (maybe this summer) and not be surprised that I'll have to relearn everything because I forgot :X I'm more towards traditional mediums now >.>

Err... Not sure if it's related, but whenever I click on a news story on the front page, the layout gets all funky... Background turns white, banner and other images are out of place, a few warnings appear and a #404 error code is present. The error says it couldn't locate the page, but the news story's text and videos/images are still there... just kinda jumbled up.

Looking into this over the next dew days.

They come with the forum software, and some were added by Wizard back in the day.
