New community profiles and private messaging

Next week will see the next step in the reworking of our website, with changes in the way you communicate with each other.

The new profile page
The new profile page

After the recent changes to our forum and the news section, the next step in the redesign of PokerStrategy.com will see a change to the way your community profile will look and feel. The new profile pages will replace the old community section of the website.

New profiles

Just like the community pages, the new user profiles are your hub page, showing a summary of your PokerStrategy.com membership - your status, post & comment count, as well as an overview of your friends.

The old community pages are based on an out-dated 3rd party technology. The new profiles are fully integrated in our website, are mobile friendly and allow for more flexibility with the eye on the future.

The seldom used guestbooks will be removed, but your old private messages and friends lists will be moved over to the new format. To accommodate the migration on Tuesday 10 February, the community and private messaging will be temporary disabled until the migration is complete. After this the reworked system will be available.

More raffle list tickets for community activity

From next week onward, we will also increase the amount of tickets earned for active community members for our weekly iPad raffle. Being active in the news comments for example, will net you more tickets than previously. For more details, keep an eye out the weekly iPad raffle announcement.
