Official AO Update Thread / Discussion Thread

I added a AO.UK signature from the pictures uploaded today but don't think the feature is currently active?

Will the user profile picture function eventually allow us to add custom avatars?

[knownothingmags]

how to i add photos to my photo tab on my profile?
or am i missing the idea.

the way i think it works is that i can have photos stored here on AO now. and dont have to have a URL link from a storage site?

let me know what you know thankyou guys,

KNM.

In order to view your signatures after you log in, you'll have to go to Settings:>General Settings:>Visible Post Elements:>Show Signatures and check the box.

And, the background is going to remain white until someone decent with CSS creates and uploads a new skin.

Just an idea.... I would really like to see AO stay somewhat "normal" to me. It's pretty iconic now that I have stared at it for so long...

Small Changes:

• Added the AO header back in. My idea would be to incorporate the "Mag of the Month" winner into the top header. Either a person or automag.
• Added color into the different forum categories.
• Change the view on the main page so it shows "Last Post" before "Threads/Posts"
• Changed the location for the Log in menu bar. (might be a PITA depending how the template is written.)
• Make a few custom icons, this can be an easy drag and drop if needed.
• Custom "Dark" AO theme. (Download something close to the original, edit the pictures, and voila!!

I like the new AO so far, but like the rest need to get adjusted to it.

My failure with the X-valve will now be immortalized in that picture. Still having problems with it.

its wierd having the "settings" be your "usercp"

[Loguzzzzzz]

I am still trying to figure out how to use some of these features.

. . . . .but so far I like it, this will just take a little getting used to, afterall the old AO was home for a very long time!

[BTAutoMag]

yes, its like a new house feel, your new home but not quite home yet

Added a question/answer to the new user sign up. It will be a stock gap.
