When I purchased this forum software it was not for the features it currently contained but because of the new version that was, at the time, about to be released.
After many delays it looks like it just about ready. I'm excited about it because I've held off customizing these forums until the new version was implimented.
Some features of the new version:
<UL><LI>Better performance.<LI>Better search. (hopefully we'll get big enough to make that important)<LI>Image uploads into messages.<LI>Tracking of read forums and topics.<LI>New messages since last visit.<LI>Save of sort options for each forum.<LI>Flat view of topics.<LI>Printer friendly versions of topics.<LI>Email topics.<LI>Polls.<LI>Several different editors.<LI>Calendars.<LI>Much, much better control panel.<LI>Much, much better personal messages.<LI>I'll finally be able to fix the email problems.<LI>Real 'posting levels' reached customization.<LI>Topic/message ratings.<LI>Better registration.<LI>Better themes for the Disney areas as compared to the Doodlebop/Wiggles area.<LI>About a million features for Tink and I to manage the forums.In addition I hope to integrate Trip Countdowns and member newletters into the forums.
The forums will be down when I perform the upgrade. Hopefully only a hour or 2 but potentially longer if I run into problems.
I will provide more information when I pick a date to do the upgrade.
