Ok guys, the world's best programmer that is helping me with all this has hopefully fixed the "G Index" problem.
He has indeed... well done that best programmer ever... ;)

Please force refresh the forum (CTRL+F5) and if that doesn't work, clear your browser cache files. If those both don't work, reply with your OS & Browser version.
... or just give up and leave us along dammit... We're trying here!!!...
*cue: Rob runs off screaming and sobbing in alternate breaths*



Well, that was my mental image anyway... ;)

We've been working for a while to get the forum software updated with a bunch of new features. Many are behind the scenes, but a bunch are ones you'll notice. I don't know that I can list all of them here right now (it's very late), but here are a few big ones:

1) True "mark as read" functionality. After you read a post, it won't show as "new"
2) Private Messages - If you have over 5 posts you'll be able to send Private Messages to other members.
3) Polls - create polls with questions
... and a bunch more.
I'm new to the site and the forum, but thanks for making improvements to the forum so it's more user friendly.

Yo Rob any further movements on the much promised upgrades with this site.:drool
The sticky and FAQs are of course what I was referring too.

It sure would help the old folks stop repeating themselves.

Well, we actually do have some really big / major changes in the works, but it is way too early now to give much by way of features and timeline, but there will be some items that should definitely help with the items your requesting!!

Could you increase the file size limit in the uploading section? There are situations when every little pixel counts. Thank you!
