Enjoy your revamped forum
The first step of the reworked forum is now available and we're giving away an iPhone 6 to celebrate!
Following on from several recent updates (home page, news, video pages) that have been geared toward making our website more modern, user friendly and mobile friendly, the next big change has taken place in the forum.
Our development and design teams have been working flat out to get everything finalised, and you'll now be able to enjoy the fruits of their labour!
Try out the forum's fresh new design below, and simultaneously give yourself the chance to win a brand new iPhone 6:
Mobile friendly
The layout changes depending on your device and screen size which gives a much better mobile experience. Also, if you are mainly using your desktop for your daily forum visits, you'll benefit from an extended, full width view.
Custom avatars
You can now upload your own personal avatar for the forum. Simply click your avatar symbol in the header and then drag and drop a new image to update your current one. Please note, this will not change your avatar in the community section.
Easier posting of images
If you want to share your graphs or just add other images to your forum post, you can now directly drag and drop them into your post editor instead of first uploading them on an image hosting website, making it more convenient to use.
Collapsable sidebar
In the new collapsebale sidebar you will find quick links for easy navigation to the lastest threads and posts and updates in the threads where you were active before. At the top you'll find a quick search, so you can quickly find what you are looking for.
Improved search
We've also overhauled our forum search mechanics, making the general search faster than the previous version.
Results will now show you slight variations on your terms and you can even refine your searches further with more advanced versions, for example excluding unwanted terms or boosting the importance of one specific term you are looking for.
Win an iPhone 6!
To celebrate the release of our forum update, we're giving away an iPhone 6 on top of all our regular task list raffle goodies!
All you have to do to get involved is write ten forum posts this week, and you'll be given your ticket into next Monday's exclusive iPhone 6 raffle.
