In actual fact, the forums are about 75% newly processed code. But it retains its same 'good' looks - so hopefully most people will not even notice.

It has been a long day, and I really want to watch some TV, so if anyone has any problems, please call +44 1...., oh, no on second thoughts, I'll just baby sit for a further 15 minutes.

BTW : Private, unmoderated clan forums go live tomorrow. I could do it tonight, but it is one more thing that could break when I sleep.

If fixed 4 years of bolting bits on here and there. And much like my last release which didn’t appear to change much, it has taken another step towards my plans for the future. (Which will be evident one day)

could we have a bit of info on what the private clan forums will involve...do you have to apply for your clan to get a forum or is a leader given his own forum to add who he/she likes. please explain..thanks.

A clan leader can create a forum from their clan home page. It will look and feel just like the normal forums. (It is the same code – another reason for the big rewrite.)

Only members of that clan can read or post to that forum. It is private. For that reason, it will not be moderated.

If you don't like what is being posted, leave the clan. The moderation team will not be reading your clan's post. If I get a complaint about something published that I believe really warrants taking a look, I will, and possibly delete some posts, but other than that, it is your own forum. If someone is causing problems in your clan forum, you can kick them from your clan – and the problem goes away.

Would it be possible to make leaders moderators of their clan's forum...they could then decided what was moderated and not moderated. Members could PM their clan leader if they wanted something removed. Seems more reasonable to let it be completly at the discression of the clan itself.

Also what will happen to the "alert mod" button, will that still be pressable and henceforth alerting a mod to come and read the thread in the forum and possibly delete them. I think it very silly that you could come in at any time and delete a post/thread that could be important just because one person disagrees with the posts content. I feel it would be much better if the members took it up with the leader ( now im repeating my self so i'll stop!)

one more thing. will recs handed out in the clan forums be shown off in the same way as normal recs or will there be a new list of "clan recs"?

Will it be possible for clans to offer special "forum rights" to individuals not in the clan?

I like this idea.

On another note I would like to congratulate Russ on making the search forums option so much more user friendly.

WOW!>!>!!>

I thought this being added was way in the future.... Clans have a new purpose. Better revamp mine.

Oh and Russ, do you have any comments on this thread? http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=27725
seems the update didn't fix this issue
