    Can we get an official statement on the forum update?

    Like, why do I not have permission to add tags? I SHOULD TOTALLY BE ABLE TO.

    And how are you going to regulate the whole social groups thing? Personally, I love the idea, but make it require mod verification or something if possible.

    And in related news: "buddy list" now is called "contacts". Is that on purpose?

    ps while you're at it, you think maybe you could fix the calendar?

        Woah, what's supposed to happen?

        I don't know anything about this forum update thing. I only know that Synthlight left a message on the forum for about 30 minutes of inaccessibility.

          When I first noticed the tags feature, I was able to put 2 in for a thread I didn't create, and 5 for a thread I did. The only restriction was not being able to edit tags not created by myself.

          When I woke up, the tags seem to now be secluded to mods etc. I guess it's changing with the implementing of the system.

            Probably related to being a member of the secret forum group then. Sort of like how when subscribers were first made, there was brief access to the staff forum.

            EDIT: whoever is making ****ty tags, can you NOT. That totally removes how effective of a feature it can be when threads are tagged as "afrombean" or "wilkin". The "whining" one, although somewhat arguably justifiable, is still wrong. The purpose of this thread is discussion/questions about the new features, not even really complaining.

            EDIT: One more thing: I don't think the part with the photo albums is really needed due to the image system of the FFR profiles.

              From what I see, tags are being used as a subtle form of flaming. Quite frankly, I'd like to see them turned off.

                I see tags often as attempts at humor, lol.

                    I can't edit my forum info, like biography/sub title. Just putting that out there.

                        I use tags to categorize threads and make fun of people. Very nice addition.

                          likely tags will be removed completely. beyond that, we have a lot of small things to tweak with the upgrade... vB added a lot of new profile features to their forum profiles, most of which we don't need as we already have our own profile system.

                          expect it to be refined over the next week or two.

                            I knew it wasn't my imagination when I realized only a day ago that "Welcome, (insert username here)" had become a link to your forum profile. I was wondering if it had been since forever and I just never noticed it, but there was an update.
