We've completed a round of updates primarily to the forums this week.

Forum Signatures
Forum Signatures will appear below all of your forum posts. You can set yours in your Account Profile Settings

Searching
Some basic searching options are available for the Forums now

Subcategory Permissions
You can now set permissions on Forum Subcategories. If all of the Subcategories of a Forum Category are above a users permission level the entire Category is hidden from the user. Permission checks take the highest permission level set, so if a Forum Subcategory is set to Admin privileges, and a Forum Thread within that Subcategory is set to Guest privileges the Thread will still require Admin privileges.

Move Threads
You can now move Forum Threads to a different Forum Subcategory if you wish. You will see a green arrow icon next to pin and lock if you have Admin privileges while viewing a thread, and after clicking it can select from a dropdown with Forum Subcategory you wish to move it to.

Forum Updates Block Available On Forums Page
You can now set the "Latest and Hottest Forums" Home Block to show up on the Forums page rather then your home page. It's a simple checkbox option when you add the block from the Layout tab of the Admin Panel. Setting this block to show up on the forums page will cause it not to show up on the home page, if you want it in both spots you can add two blocks; one for each =)

Navigation Links - Open In New Window
You can now set your main menu navigation links to open in a new window rather then the current one. When you add a link from the Navigation Tab of the Admin Panel there is an additional checkbox option to allow this.

Latest Forum Posts Blocks
You can now click on the "Last Post" text in the latest Forum Posts blocks to go to the last post in the thread. The text does not appear as a link for readability, it looks too busy with so many links, but it is indeed a clicky ;)


Most of these feature requests came from our users, if you notice a feature you would like to see on MMO Guildsites or a change to how you would prefer something to work let us know and we'll look into it =)

Happy holidays.
