New Features!!1027

	Hey gang, Long time no see. I have some new features for you to play with: 1. Reputation System - when you click on the thumbs up icon next to each post, the author gets a reputation bump of 3 points. You can click on your profile to see who liked what. 2. Photo Gallery - you can upload photos to your profile. Any pics that you to your profile will appear on the Photo Gallery page (link in the side bar on the left). When you click on a photo on the Gallery page or in a user's profile it should show up as a slide show. 2A. Of course, the Photo Gallery will never replace the epic "images for fun" (and similar) threads so keep those going too. My next step is to allow users to upload photos directly to a thread from their computers. (Currently, images on the board must be hosted someplace on the web.) If you have any other comments about this software or feature requests let me know!

	Oh -- one more thing. I also changed the registration mechanism. The "social media log in" thing is no more! Instead there is a basic/traditional log in. This will encourage more users to join the site because I found that people were scared off by using an existing account. If you already have an account (and are not logged in) just visit: http://community.dragonmount.com/join/reset Enter your email address and select a new password.

	Oh yeah - Tagging! I'm surprised no one uses the tagging feature that's been in place for a while. If you compose a thread, add some short descriptive words to describe the thread. Tags will appear in the vertical navigation section on the left hand column and will allow you to filter threads based on topic. I'll add a couple tags to get started.

	AS far as tags go: - If something is not related to WOT just label it "Misc."

	I was having trouble logging into the main site earlier but now it seems to work fine. Resetting my info here worked fine too. Maybe this thread should be stuck to the top, at least for a little while.

	Two glitches I have noticed. It looks like I can edit anybodies post regardless of original author or time passed since the posting. Also if I click on the "Social Networking" tab in the top bar of DM, it shows me as being logged into Moriken's account. Not sure if that is an issue on your end or Dragonmounts end. I like the new changes though

	@andoran_g33k - Facebook Connect is no more. Next time you log in you will be prompted to set a password or you can skip the prompt and go right to the "reset page" - http://community.dragonmount.com/join/reset I don't know if this ever affected you but FB Connect would often fail to work properly. And like I said above, many people were concerned about using it to begin with. @Demos - mods are not subject to the time limit and have the ability to edit posts by other users (e.g., fix a link or embed a YouTube video). I see what you mean about clicking on the http://www.dragonmount.com/Social_Networking/ link - that is bizarre. Since that page is on the main site (www.dragonmount.com instead of forum.dragonmount.com) I can't fathom why or how this problem could be connected to the Ninja Post forum. The only thing I can think is that the Invision Power Board template for the "Social Networking" page on the main site is out of date; maybe it's using dummy code instead of actual code --- after all, the other pages on the main site work fine. I will forward to Jason and ask him to investigate.

	Ah, sorry mikew, I had never realized mods had this ability before. Also in reference to my other post.

	Now you can 'Friend' all of my worst enemies in my name! That's what I get for 'Friending' Demos on the main page without asking first... Also, this site is becoming more and more like Facebook over time with Photo Galleries and everything. Soon people will be uploading pictures from every weekend party they go to and 'Friending' everyone.

	That's hilarious! I mean, shame on them... Yeah, I'm not much into Facebook so I think all the new features are cool.

	Apparently, there's still a ghosting problem on this site. Edit: Ha, got rid of it.

	Awesome features..thanx mikew... tho the reputation system feels a bit overboard IMHO. I feel bad for this site mikew keeps making these awesome additions to the features, but the membership seems to be declining (or at least stagnating). I'm talking of those who post, there may of course be hidden observers <.< >.>

	I'm having the same problem as Demos (post 7 and 10). I can't figure out how to contact the moderators on the main page to report it...

	As on the posts that I referenced, like Demos, I'm talking about being logged in as "Moriken" on the main "Social Networking" page, even though I'm not really logged in...
