**NEW FEATURES**

Just wanted to tell you about the MULTI QUOTE BOX we've added and how to use it. If you want to respond to a few members all at once and quote what they have said in their indivual posts just click the MULTI quote box on each of their posts and then click REPLY, you will see it automatically quotes all of their posts!!

Also a SCROLLING BAR has been added along the top! to make special announcements of some kind!

POP UP BOX - When someone visits the site as a guest a new pop up box will appear asking them to log in, so if you log out at the end of your session you will see this when you open the site again.

The THANKS button, if you find a particular post very helpful in a thread you have started or perhaps someone said something that was particularly special you can now thank them by clicking on the THANKS button, use this button wisely though as you will be only able to use it ONCE a day!!! the thanks button will become shaded & the poster you've thanked will see their post has changed colour (we can make this more obvious if you want?)

I have also activated a POINTS system. Basically when you use the THANKS option this will actually give the member 3 points I was having a debate with myself on whether I should actually activate this option and in the end I thought we can see how it goes because those of you who take the time to read through members posts and respond with genuine empathy or helpful advice should be rewarded and this is just a FUN way of doing that! If you all hate this it can be removed

You can also give a post a + or a - to ANY post regardless who created the thread depending on how helpful you thought that particular post was, this is found on the right hand side of posts by pressing + it will put a GREEN line down the side of that post indicating that post was HELPFUL if - is selected then a RED line appears NOT SO HELPFUL! there are NO points given OR taken away by choosing either of these options!!

VERY importantly You can't THANK yourself or rate your post!!

whoa, thats super cool!! i had seen the live feed up top with gutters wonderful news and then i noticed the muti-quote button and was wondering how in the world that worked, so im glad i know! hehe

I love the scrolling bar!!!!!

Thanks ladies I have added a couple more explained in first post.

This is an awesome idea! Im having a blonde moment, but where is the thanks button located?? i know it will be right infront of me.....(sorry having a bad day)

No it's a valid point it's not on your own posts it's along the top of other members posts by the MULTI QUOTE and QUOTE buttons!

Ive only got muti quote, quote, edit, x and ? along the top, nothing else?????

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hang on!

Is it there now?? On my post?

Not that i can see, i can see the new multi post button the the green bar to the right of the post with the + and - but nothin else, maybe its just me

I have looked at every possible reason to why you can't see it but nothing is obvious..... if the Multi Quote button is visable then I can't see why the THANKS button isn't...? puzzled yeah me too! I will have to take a look in the morning as it's past midnight here now. "Thanks" for letting me know!!

ok, talk to you later! xox

By the way this is what i am seeing, not the best pic but you get the idea!

HANG ON!!!!! ~~~~~Brain wave!~~~~~

Check a thread that you have created................I think the thanks button is only valid to you, therefore I could thank someone in my thread but if you created a thread I couldn't just thank someone randomly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep its there in the threads ive created. so thats how it works!

I was wondering the same thing about the 2 different point things?

LOL I have sorted it now ladies, looks like I activated another points system when I was playing around with the THANKS box.

A question for you all - Would you like to receive points if someone votes your post as a HELPFUL post??? I can switch that feature on if you like? It's up to you all! It's the +/- feature.

Hmmmm... Well I did quite like having points, although I didn't know what they were for, and now they are all gone! lol!

HA HA HA!!!! If you all like the points system then there is something I can activate that gives you points for different things such as:

- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile

It's just a bit of fun!
