Fofurree Central

Hey ffb, in order to slow down the hordes of spammers, we've had to change how people sign up for an account. Now, when you register, you will get an email. You have to validate the email, and then wait for the admin (that's me and sometimes test bear) to approve you. We still want fofurrees to join us, but we've had to make it more complicated so spammers stay away. If you are having problems with the site, the best way to contact Bella is via a private message. I sometimes don't look at my message board for weeks on end. You can also contact Raeb, Myster, or Scott on Facebook/Myspace/Twitter etc.

None of this should effect your accounts that have already been activated. If there are any problems, let me know.

Squash, Squash, Squash!!!!

I've done a complete site upgrade/update and as of Sunday 23:00 GMT, I don't see any bugs. I've pretty much spent the entire weekend fixing bugs. Tired of bugs. There are quite a few extra features and there will be a few more in the coming weeks. Here's a list of the things that are a bit different.

1. Artfolio Widget. There is noting I can do to get this going. It crashes the entire site when I activate it. I apologise to anyone who used this regularly. You can use the files widget/toolbar to post pictures. If you have any questions, mail me about it.

2. Activity toolbar, widget. Your "Friends Activity" widget doesn't work anymore, however, there is a replacement. The new "Activity" widget is used for both friends and your own activity. Place two copies on your desktop or profile page. Select "edit" in the top right of the widget. You can select either "mine" for your own activity or "friends" for your friends activity. The widget defaults to "mine".

3. Members. There is a cool new little toolbar for members. There is a list of everyone on the site, a list for the most popular people on the site, and a list for recently active.

4. The Wire. It's sort of like a site-wide twitter. Play around with it, you'll get the idea pretty soon.

5. Twitter. You can now post your twitter comments. Unfortunately, it's very basic, but I am working on an upgrade in the very near future. I'll let everyone get used to the new site.

6. The front page. You'll notice that there is a different design to the front page. If you like it, let me know. If you want the old one back (well, almost like the old one) I can change it back. Let me know either way.

Hopefully this upgrade, update will make the site function better. I hope it'll work for you. If you have any problems, let me know.

XXXOOO
