Topic: Now running v1.1.0!
Several new features and fixes are waiting for you!
The first major update to IOBoard, version 1.1.0, is here! Some long-requested features are now available, including post previews and e-mail topic subscriptions.
What changed in this release:
- Added post and PM previews
- Better error messages for missing information on posting (avoids losing post content)
- BBCode is no longer case sensitive
- BBCode parsing was improved and should be faster
- BBCode: added the [s ]strike[/s ] tag
- The posts that you write yourself will no longer be marked as unread
- Fixed some potential issues with the list of unread topics
- Accounts that are registered must now be confirmed by e-mail
- Added a display for member's birthdays on the main forums page, along with a few stats
- HTML tags will no longer work where it's not allowed (profiles and such)
- Links that open new windows (such as the private messenger) will no longer force the main window to scroll back to the top
- RPG stats: the experience bar now reflects the amount of experience left to gain on the current level before leveling up
- Added some admin panel settings
- Improved the layout of several pages
- The board security and stability levels have been greatly improved
- The XHTML code is much closer to being fully XHTML 1.0 compliant
I announced on the board's openings that various statistics would eventually be added, but they aren't ready yet: since that feature isn't dependant on any other changes made for this update, I decided to work on it separately. Otherwise, I would have delayed this update further, and I had to stop adding in features at some point. The stats will be added within a few weeks.
Also, this update required several key changes to the background code which probably broke a few minor elements right and left. If you notice odd problems, such as not being able to change your custom rank, searches that don't give the expected results, or anything similar, please post a reply here and I'll look into it.
