As you can see we've given our support forum a much needed upgrade! We put this off as long as we could (we rather work on your forums than ours) but the time had come when we needed to drop the old phpBB2 software. In addition to the obvious upgrading to phpBB3 and a new style (designed by our very own
Creativebot), we also have a handful of new features:
New Topic TagsWe've made improvements to the support sections, now sorting support topics by
[ESCALATED],
[PENDING], and
[RESOLVED] tags. This will give you more of an idea about where your post is in the process
Reputation ModWe've installed the reputation mod on the support forum. This will be helpful when deciding the quality of support given by non-freeforums.org staff, as well as just fun.
Cash ModThe cash mod will allow you to collect fCash by posting in various forums here. Eventually it will be used to buy items (such as promotion for your forum) on the support forum. Don't confuse this with the Community Chest points, they are separate.
Activity StatsFrom the bottom of the index page you can now view all the users that have accessed the support forum over the past 24 hours.
Welcome PMNew to the forum? You will be getting a welcome email from the FreeForums.org Bot. This will include a welcome notice and information about the support forum (rules, where to post, etc).
