WELCOME TO ICHIRAKU - NEW AND UPGRADED!
Hello everyone,
It's been our privilege to announce that we have just upgraded our forum system from SMF 1.1.9 to the latest feature-rich version of SMF 2.0.
While some of its features would only make sense to the administrators (and believe me, they rock), there are very significant improvements in the core code that will make your time in Ichiraku much more enjoyable (and efficient). As a rundown of these that will probably pique your interest:
1.) WYSIWYG - You can now use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor when you reply in topics. For those who are not familiar with this, this means that when you format your posts (e.g. bold, font color, font face, etc.) you are not treated with unwieldy BBcodes like [img] and [color], but you'll see them right as they would appear when you post them. To use this feature, you can go to your profile's look and layout preferences and tick the WYSIWYG checkbox.
2.) User Warning System - Admins/mods can now also take advantage of the User Warning System. This basically means that the Codex will be more streamlined in dealing out appropriate and just sanctions for repeat offenders, as it's now built-in to the system.
3.) Moderation Center - For moderators, they now have an exclusive moderation panel (similar to the admins) where they can view their responsibilities and act as their central control panel.
4.) Additional group functionality - There will be group moderators now who will administrate certain groups like the Boys and the Girls Club - requests are now automated and can be assigned.
5.) Improved permissions - Tighter permissions to control who sees what.
6.) File-based caching - Significantly improves performance on all levels. To average users, this indicates the speed of the forum in handling requests like loading pages.
7.) Signature Control - Advanced signature settings so signatures will be controlled.
8.) PM overhaul- Improvements in personal messaging (PM) system like sorting incoming messages and various display options.
9.) E-mail customization - This enables us to customize outgoing e-mails to members with our own messages.
10.) New profile fields - Additional profile information for all members.
11.) Advanced aesthetics - SMF 2.0 now features a cleaner, simpler, and sleeker interface. Come and try it!
But wait, there's more!
Remember that this is just the core package - the "factory settings", if you prefer. By upgrading to SMF 2.0, we have unlocked the more advanced custom features made by the SMF open source community, which you will soon see in action in the following days.
All this is just the beginning. Join us now and be part of the change!
Ichiraku! Trip ko 'to!
