List of updates you may or may not be aware of.

That you may or may not care about...

Schools actually work now. I encourage everyone to update their profile. There's a giant list, but if your school doesn't come up in the autocomplete field, feel free to put in whatever you want. I've added the school field to registration, as well as to the memberlist (and even made it searchable).

As discussed in the Profile Incongruity post on VN, which a lot of you probably haven't seen, the profile information (barring primary membergroup and certain forum-specific fields) is now updated instantly across all forums. If your profile still differs between forums, please re-save your profile.

Karma has been centralized, and is now fully accessible from every forum.

Mods... Bans are now effective across all forums as well.

Deleting members will delete the member from every forum... That was annoying.

An Important Links page has been added to the footer, under 'Media', 'Advertising', and 'Privacy Policy'. It's been there awhile now, but I never mentioned it.

School added to post information sidebar, per suggestion of Mao.

Edit: Please post any errors if you come upon any. Thanks.

Awesome job man, =]

I see dp has been synchronized across all forums as well. I have a couple of suggestions:

1. display school name+year with gender/age/location/postcount (this shouldn't be too hard, right?)
2. display postcount for different forums (i.e. have 5 postcounts displayed with VCE/HSC/WACE/SACE/National counts), does the current db structure allow this? [if this is implemented, probably need to reset all postcount then run a script to crawl through the message database and re-populate the postcounts]
--This may even encourage people to post in other forums, maybe offer special ranks for people who contribute in multiple forums?

[DavidB3ck]

1. Good idea.
2. This is the way it was originally (besides the labels). Enwiabe didn't like it. :p But, we shall see.

Enwiabe didn't like it.

tl;dr DavidB3ck is awesome.

re: postcount, I'm willing to hear a good argument for having 5 separate postcounts

Noticed the school being added to the info on the side. Any way that we could also add the year of graduation as well? i.e. 'Melbourne High School 2008' or something. Makes it look like I'm still there

I'll get right on that sir. Mao actually said it... I just forgot.

At a glance you can see where the member is most active.

PLEASE GET RID OF THIS EMOTICON

It makes me look like a creepy, 60yo pedophile =.=
Not cool.

...It's not even amongst the emoticons you get when you click through to the "preview post" screen anyway...

I think it looks good on you.

Guess what David?


Edit: Had to... *cough* censor my post...  For some reason, I thought this thread was... elsewhere... there were a deceptive number of blue and red stars
