I'm impressed I just looked at your light box viewer for attachments very nice.

This is a remarkable list of new features in my opinion.

Glad you like them! If you click on the lightbox - it will still give you the full resolution photo.

Nice. I had a custom profile page style before but it was lost. I'll have to work up a new one.

Sorry about that! That was one area that I couldn't save.

BUT...don't make any changes yet. The profile area is not quite ready. So...hold off!

Thanks TS, very much appreciated:-6

The Buddy List on the home page click to nowhere. Should it now be called the Contacts List? It looks like it shows Contacts instead of Friends, and I don't think Buddies exist any longer.

If anyone finds a one-time Friend disappears from their Friends List having previously been there it's not necessarily that they've gone off you, it's that it seems very easy to unselect someone without meaning to. Once that's saved as unselected the entire please-will-you yes-I-will dialogue has to be completed again before the link's re-established.

I have customised my profile...I like pinks lol

Its real easy to do...

Font family shaded text ect, their are alot of these boxes but as you choose colours for each one you can preview before you save and if you dont like the look of it you can play around with the text, colour and size till your happy and then you click save for each one.

Tombstone, the name link on the home page below each photo in Random Photos needs another slash, it says eg http://www.forumgarden.com/forumsmember.php?u=7010 and it ought to be http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/member.php?u=7010

Not forever. This function is temporarily disabled through this upgrade.
