So what's the features?

**legoburner**

See the homepage for the main ones. The all threads are new thing is just a one-off from converting between session-based read tracking and full thread/post based read tracking, so from now on it will be much better for everyone. You can click 'mark all messages read' on the forum home page to reset it and hide all the 'new' posts again.

I might get round to adding a big list of all the new features but I have to comb through 20KB of changelogs to do that and it might be more fun to let people find them out for themselves. To quote the homepage:

* New articles system - based on wiki software so any of you can start adding wargaming related articles right away!
* Army profiles have returned - a dakka classic, you can make a dedicated article page describing your army in detail allowing the whole world to see your coolness
* Full read tracking for the forums - no longer will all posts be marked 'read' when you logout, now you have to manually click 'mark all posts as read' so you wont miss any great discussion. One side effect of this is that all threads since 2 weeks ago will be marked unread, but this is just a one off occurrence as part of this switch.
* My Subscribed Threads - Now we have a much better thread subscription. Accessible from your profile page, you can make sure you never miss a reply to any of your posts.
* Ignore/Friend - Now you can ignore users who annoy you. Just click 'Ignore' under any of their posts and all their posts will be hidden in the future. You can 'friend' someone and access their profile easily (with more features to be added in the future).
* About 80 minor bugs have been squashed too, making dakka run and work better than ever before!

I found one bug already... it wont mark your response as 'read' when you reply to a post which is a little annoying and will be fixed for next weekend.

**malfred**

Thanks!

I was wondering what the Friend Ignore thing was all about.

Time for Hellfury to pay up.

Yeah I was thinking of digging out his post regarding that, but I thought I'd be more civil

**stonefox**

Sweet, now I know where everyone is when they talk about their local GW stores or other regional topic.

Oooooooooooo. The plot thickens. You've piqued my curiosity, so now you HAVE to dig it up.

Not that interesting, he just said he would not pay his $25 to become a DCM until we have an ignore button.

**KiMonarrez**

Oh yeah. Payback time.

I mean.

Absolutely correct-a-mundo!

Now after looking for 15 minutes...where is this damned iggy button?

[edit]

I am waving a fistful of singles here.....and I see no thong or badonk-a-donk for that matter.

**KiMonarrez**

Bottom right of anyones post.

**Hellfury**

I am looking and not seeing it....I guess I need to screw with my cache.....

[edit]
Ahhhh....sweet release.

"I can see clearly now the rain has gone....I can see all obstacles in my way...."

Cache has been reset.

Crikey, time to really behave, or be 'Lost in the Warp'

**beef**

wow tiny flags? is that whats new??

**beef**

damn i dont have a flag, i guess i am nation less

**legoburner**

You have a flag beef, there is a bug (which I have fixed but not updated the main dakka site with yet), that means that new posts take a little while to get flags attached to them. Check out your older posts to see the flag for now (or just wait a while).

**FishMonk**

uh what?

**legoburner**

This thread deals with the last major release of the dakka code, most of the bugs mentioned here are fixed already. Your post was unnecessary FishMonk - you should have at least been a bit more verbose with your question.

I am locking this thread now as it is no longer relevant.
