To all members!
We are slowly working our way to launch the new site and you will start seeing few changes from now.
We will merge a couple of sub-forums to streamline the new site but to help you find stuff we are implementing a few new features.
First out is the prefixes. We will apply a prefix to each of the old threads in all subforums. For example, in the Sako Ammunition subforum, there is now a blue box saying Sako Ammunition. This will help you when you are searching for info hidden inside the forum. You will have the option to add a prefix later on, and that will also be from a pre-set list. Like the Sako in from of Changes to come, in this thread.
(The Sako Ammunition subform will remain after we do the big move but you will see this type of prefix in front of all threads in a little while.
Then we will implement Tags, we have had this feature for a while but haven´t promoted it. This feature will also help us build a structure inside the forum and you will be able to search for tags.
It works like this, when starting a thread you will be able to set a number of tags, most likely five as a maximum, to each thread from a pre-set list of tags. For instance, you have a question about a Sako L46 7x33 with a Mannlicher stock. You will then be able to set up tags like L46, 7x33, Mannlicher or whatever you want to discuss. This also helps when searching for information. We will set tags for older threads when we can but older threads will always have a prefix.
In a while we will starts merging subforums but we will give you a heads up before we do.
Before I sign off, I would like to give you a tip, when discussing things in a thread you might want a second opinion from another member or you may want to give them a heads up or similar. Then you can "ping" other members with using an @ in front of their username, like this @L61R . I will then receive a notice when I sign in, if I have notes activated in my profile. Use this feature with caution and please do not ping people just for fun.
One last thing, from now on , it is absolutely not okay to use your personal name as a username, and it is not allowed to post ANY personal information like phone numbers, email addresses or home addresses or other, publicly on the forum. This type of information is sensitive and we can not allow this due to various legislation and it is also considered common sense not to post such info online. We can not be held responsible should anyone violate this!
Use the PM (Discussions) features instead, they are encrypted so no-one can read what you post there.
More changes to come!!
