I'm about to start the process of upgrading the software that Sparky Slider runs on.

If history repeats itself then the upgrade itself will be a simple task, but getting everything else, including all of the customisations to work again afterwards could take a little longer.

Please be patient, as I work through everything and return things to normal.

Update - everything seems to be working, except for the gallery.

The upgrade is now complete.

I've checked as much as I can and everything looks to be working.

If you spot anything that isn't working, please let me know and I do what I can to fix it.

Hope you enjoy the new features.

Now that the upgrade is complete, I should tell you about some of the new or improved things at Sparky Slider.



Improved Registration System
It's now much tougher for spammers to register accounts and post links to their junk. Hopefully this will keep many of them away.

Improved User Profile
Your profile now shows your most viewed Gallery images, as well as the number of times your profile has been viewed, who viewed it and user notes (guest book) left by others.

Infraction System
Click on the red and yellow cards and report an infraction. Each infraction earns a number of points. Anybody getting enough points will be subjected to an automatic ban.Improved Reputation System


The was reputation points are given has been updated, the limits on who and how many times you give reputation points to have been lifted.RSS Feed


On the main pages there's a module containing RSS news feeds from the Motor Cycle News website. These posts can be discussed in their own forum.

Multiple Quotes in threads
Does what it says, click the button on each post that you want to quote from, and each quote will appear in your reply.

Gold Membership
I have setup a paid subscription service which earns subscribers the title of 'Gold Member'. As a supporter of Sparky Slider, Gold Members get higher limits to the number of PM's, more disk space to post in the gallery and a if required a private dedicated forum. As more features get added to Sparky Slider, some of them may be restricted to Gold members only.

Yes, yes, yes, that's all well and good but can we ban you then?

Now, you see...that was unnecessary.

A yellow card at this stage, for pointing out your dictatorial leanings. Sorry, that's not right, it was a clean tackle.

I reversed your red card, and replaced it with a yellow card.

I can arrange for you to have both, if that's what you want.

:D

Oi!

Where's my yellow card gone?

How am I supposed to up date my CV if you keep interfering with my achievements?

Check this thread out, it's the same upgrade notice as in this thread, but I've been playing around a bit and think it's a bit easier to follow.

Let me know what you think, ta.
