all active users will have noticed the change of design i guess. the black is gone. and i tried to adjust the whole forum bit more to Expatriate's Homepage.
hope everyone likes it as much as i do and gets used to it fast.
the new layout also brings new extras for members which i am not sure yet if i wanna use them, .... for example 'Reputation Points'. Users have the possibility to rate other users postings. i'll figure stuff out later those weeks.
there are definitly some more tiny extras for members that are going to be added in the next few weeks.
smilies will be renewed.
one more change that happened is that our moderator SONGBIRD is having a forum break for a while, as she became a happy mother. i won't change her status though, as she'll be back someday.
Emotional_Retard is still moderator but changed her name into ASHJ, and we are both always there in case of questions and troubles concerning the forum.
one new and already usable change is:
add your favourite Expatriate song and how / where / when you first heard of the band to your profile! just check your profile and you'll see the box, you can fill out if you want.
that's it so far.
