PDAPhoneHome.com - View Single Post - Changes around the website

Just so you know, we have been hard at work implementing a LOT of new changes around the website, trying new plug-ins for vBulletin, and trying to improve the look and feel of various things.

We will still have Stickies at the top of the forum, but we are going to take the "static" and locked items and put them in the new Forum Header in Yellow. We will reserve the Red Stickies for things that we need to "pin up for a bit" or hot topics. One of my concerns for the Yellow header was being able to look and see when it has been posted in. If a thread can be posted in by the users, it won't show up in the Forum Header, but instead will remain a sticky.

We are currently working on a Wiki that ties in to the forum heavily, so that the search feature will also search the Wiki. This is why we haven't had a Wiki before it, as we didn't want to have two websites to go through. So over the next couple of months, the Wiki will start to become visible, and our FAQs should start to get moved to the Wiki for everyone to be able to contribute and edit, which should improve the FAQs.

We have added some new features to the responding, including "Multi-quotes" where you can click multiple people, and then click "Quote User" and it will quote everyone. We added quick ways to submit a post to your favorite news place (Digg, del.icio.us, technorati, and furl).

After the many requests, we have also improved the front page of the website, updating the news engine, and improving the look and feel, as well as making it MUCH easier to add news. We are also working on making sure new news items are posting on the homepage so that we keep that content fresh.

We have many more ideas and enhancements happening, so keep an eye out on the forums!
