I noticed the tags option, which will be very helpful for those who use the search function, I'll be sure to check out the other functions as well. Thanks for the upgrade Redbones!

Absolutely love these features! But what does "Notices system for navigation bar" do?

I saw the sign for this forum about how its being updated and got excited. After I figure out what everything does, I'm sure it will be great help.

This forum needed some upgrades. You guys did a great job and it exceeded my expectations!

I can't wait for noobs to come and take super advantage of the tags option. Though I find it unlikely, it will probably happen sooner or later.
Plus, I just noticed the visitors box on the profiles. I like that idea.

I have already tagged about twenty threads.

That's what I was thinking.
But that brings all the fun of profile viewing and conversations via profile pages to HP.

Nice.
A few suggestions
A loosen on word filter, why is g*y censored?
And get rid of the ten charcter rule for posts.
That's it nice job, HP feels all spiffy now.

Now, hopefully the admins will check into maybe upgrading the regular site a bit.

You're right, I was thinking that too. Like a mini MySpace.

Is there a way to disable comparing edited posts?
That's lame.

That would be very annoying. I'd rather not see pinks, purples, yellows, etc. blinding my eyes on my computer screen.

There are some free entrance groups that you can just join, some join but only if the moderator wants you to groups, and some invite only groups.

You should join me and Kristyns Softball Club. You have to like softball a lots, though.

That might already be possible if you use the brackets and put color="Blue". That's how I do sarcasm, anyhow.
Never mind, tried it, apparently it only works on X/YGen.
But yikes, this took me for a shocker. Upgrades? Finally, something new to tweak with.
My only complaint is that I can't attach files to posts, but oh well. =/

Cool, a forums upgrade!

User CP >>> Social Groups (Under "Networking" subtitle on left hand blue bar) >>>> Scroll right to the bottom >>> Create New Group.

Press the Quick Links button on the green bar above. Go down to "Social Groups" and at the bottom of all the groups, there should be a skinny blue bar that contains the option, "create own group".
Mission Accomplished.
kap, I added joo already on Friends List. I already sent out 3 requests.

Welcome to HP Travel Club, yoor story was hilarious.
I was finished with mine, but I lost it when the stupid Log In screen popped up out of nowhere. God dammit.
This might be bad for me, I'm getting more trouble running HP off Win98 now. Oh well, you guys can just look on YGen for me then....

Thanks for the acceptance. I will post another story in a couple days. I don't want to rush you. :rolleyes:

You tried to already, but it wasn't that hassling.
Try reading a shorter, more recent version of my travels. I just posted one up.

Quite a few months. Now stop posting in it. There is no need to derail a thread that YOU bumped in the first place.
