Easter Facelift

During the next five days, ie Easter Weekend, there will be a lot of work on the forums and some major changes to our website.

No information will be revealed at this time, but the changes will be good. We will offer new features outside of the forum itself, but which lets forum...

Well, I haven't seen anything new pop up since the new header. I'm beginning to think T's on some sort of extended beer break or something.

1) Hypography - Science for everyone is completely redesigned (apart from a few sections, still some bugs with the quizzes and no solution for our link collection) - forum login now also logs you into the portal so you can rate and comment news items, reviews etc.

1b) Very soon members can publish their own papers and articles through the portal.

2) Forums are upgraded. New features are:
- Revamped user profiles with more interesting information
- User social groups (create and join groups)
- user albums for photos etc
- And lots of other new features: vBulletin 3.7 First Look! - vBulletin Community Forum

3) I ran out of time but expect the forum right column with updated threads, unanswered threads (new!), latest news from the main portal, an photo album pictures.

4) Probably more stuff too.

Tormod,

Would you like us to report any glitches or problems should we run into any?

If so, where?

The User Feedback forum:

User feedback - Science Forums

I'll try to set up a better bug report feature later (I had to uninstall it for the upgrade, but will get it back up when I get the time).

Another new feature:
Use the search form in the new header. It uses Google Customized Search and searchs our entire portal, including forums, articles, reviews, links, hypographies.

People who miss the old NEWS pages will find them here:

Hypography - Science for everyone - News

the entire archives are there.

It is updated daily, with gems like this:
Hypography - Science for everyone - Researchers unravel the secrets of spider silk's strength

It would be a good idea to bookmark Hypography - Science for everyone rather than the forums front page if you want to keep up to date on what's going on.

What's all this "friends" stuff?
A bit "lovey dovey" isn't it?
Do you have to go to bed with them?

There is now a bug tracker available!

Science Forums - Project Tools

May I know who is that person?

Is there any change in Rep Power? I hope there there may be some change so that I may increase my dismal digits.

I believe they are talking about me. Yvonne is my wife.
