As you have doubtless noticed, SLi looks a bit different.

We've upgraded to the latest, greatest version of the software we've been using since SLi's inception. This one promises many more features and better options for the future of the community.

There will be a fair bit of tweaking going on, so don't be surprised if the forum looks a bit different from time to time when you log in.

Thanks for your patience.

Here are a few things that you might be interested in that are now available with the new software:

Multiple post quoting
Post drafts (write now, post later)
Search for members
Subforums
Forum subscriptions (versus topic-only)
Topic bookmarking and sorting
Friend/Foe list
LOTS of PM features
etc...

I think it looks dope, I really like the red and black scheme. And of course the main pic, BE FTW!

Thanks.

...oh, and that's actually a BH Blitzen, but it's all good.

I can dig it!

As much as I love Blitzen's, do you think It could be possible to do a random image generator? I think it was an idea a while back, but got abandoned. Maybe we could bring it back; it'd be kinda cool.

I tried to resurrect that thread not too long ago, actually. Now I can't seem to find it, though. Good idea, though.

Try the Glacier style. I have been doing just that, because it includes the feature.

Yeah, threaded PMs are a feature that I didn't know about, but am very pleased with.

the quick reply box should come back too, imo :cool:

I don't think that will happen.

Only thing i really which this site had was a preview of the message that someone posted in your email when you get a new reply.. I can decide if I want to view it right away or not.

Damn, that is just too cool! Now I'm addicted to refreshing the main page, just to see what image comes up next!

I like it, and I agree with the quick reply and image switcher at the top (perhaps a preset picture of the different gen legacys, and then the ROTM winner?)

I have looked into a few of the Quick Reply and have yet to venture in to installing one of them.

It will come in the near future.

This is called thread subscription. Should still work. Maybe there's an option somewhere to receive an email about it.
