Forum Authority - New Improvements.

[Twisted Sister]

Hello everyone, I'd like to inform you of Forum Authority's new additions and implementations.

I would firstly like to mention, you may have noticed that if you tried to register on Forum Authority as of recent the process would have taken you to an error page upon clicking submit. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However this issue has been fixed and the registration page is now fully operational.


Implementation:

• Subscriptions/Memberships: The upgrades are one of the many existing features that have been improved. The name Upgrade has been changed to Memberships, as they have been moved over to a subscription based system. Users will now have the option to subscribe to a membership of their choice, all memberships are also now automated to reduce any complication. Memberships have also been tweaked to include better features, as well as an updated username color style and user rank image.
• Donations: The donation system has been removed from the index page and has been placed on a separate one. All donations are systematically calculated now and will have a destination goal.
• Achievements: The awards have been replaced with a complete new system. They will now be automatically granted to users upon reaching certain marks within posting, activity, credits and more. All award icons have now also been replaced with flat images to work better with the theme.
• Credits Lottery: The lottery function has now been implemented within the credits system. Users will now have the option to purchase tickets, each ticket will give you a number, the running time is a total 7 days to give everyone a fair chance, a winner will be randomly generated and will be granted a certain amount of credits.

Additions:

• Responsiveness: Forum Authority has now acquired a fully responsive footer. All information that is displayed on the desktop version of the theme will carry over to all devices and mobiles. All advertisements are now fully responsive, as well as posts and memberships.
• Member Groups and Personal Awards: Forum Authority members will now have the ability to purchase their very own usergroup. This will give you the ability to display your own custom rank image, stars, username color and more. Additionally, users may also purchase their own award, having the ability to grant this award to however they deem worthy.
• Welcome Private Message: Newly registered users will be greeted with a friendly, informative private message that covers subjects from posting, forum rules and getting started upon registering.

What's to come:

• Partners Page: This page will be created to give you a better insight of our partners, including information about them and their partnership with Forum Authority.
• Fully responsive theme: I will be working hard over the next few weeks to iron out all the creases within the theme and make it as responsive as possible.
• Improved Credits: The possible change of the amount of credits a user can receive per post/ thread/ registration may be reduced, as well as shop prices.
• Improved FAQ Page: A complete revamp of this page will be underway shortly, new sections will be added covering a vast variety of topics.

Thank you for reading.

Regards,
Twisted Sister (Sir)
