If you've been here since the site's inception, you'll see I've been adding some new features here and there.
<s>1) You can now have your blog's entries appear in your account profile. Just click on "Account" above (you have to be logged in to see the tab) and go to your "Personal Information" page. You'll see an area where you can put in your blog's RSS feed. You can see <a href="http://bendforum.com/account/2/">in my profile</a> my latest blog entries.</s> OK, this extension obviously doesn't support anything but totally perfect feeds and it certainly doesn't support ATOM feeds, so I'm turning it off for now until it can be updated.
2) I've also turned on the "Whisper" feature, so you can send private, non-public, messages to other members.
3) You can also bookmark discussions if you want to come back to them later.
4) You can now upload an image for your profile.
5) If you really don't like the HTML or images somebody might post in a comment, the "Block Comment" or "Block User" links will turn that comment or user's posts into text (this is a user-specific setting, so you have to be logged in to see it).
6) There's now an "invite friends" link in your account profile so you can quickly and easily send invitation emails to friends.
7) I fixed a bug that was causing new accounts to have to be moderated. That's no longer the case.
8) Also remember that EVERY part of this thing has Atom and RSS feeds so you can subscribe to individual threads, the front page, whatever you need.
9) Lastly, I'm working on a new feature that will greatly foster and encourage discussion here on these forums. Stay tuned for that.
If you have any other comments or questions, don't hesitate to send me a private message, comment here, or email me.
No worries, Jen. This is why I wanted people to use it so I can find bugs :-)
It looks like the thing doesn't support ATOM feeds. I tried changing yours to your RSS feed, and it still doesn't work, so I'm turning the feature off until the thing can be updated a bit.
