New Forum Features!

[Scott]

In our never ending quest to bring you the the most value for your membership dues (hehe), the ACME Web Surfing Enhancement Development Team has added some cool new features to the ACME Forum.

1. Member Picture Gallery

Each Registered Member now has the ability to add 20 pictures with descriptions to the forum. You do not need a photo hosting account anywhere, it will upload pictures as large as 640x480 pixels right from your home or office computer.

2. A lighter, cleaner, faster loading forum style.

Don’t worry, if you prefer the old style, you can still use it. Just go to the blue bar at the bottom of the forum home page and change the style from Kirsh to SEo’d Steel Blue.

3. YouTube Videos now viewable right from a post.

We've added a great new feature to the ACME Forum. Now you can embed YouTube videos right into your posts for others to watch without downloading. The new BBcode tags are yt and /yt inside of brackets [ ] (I can't type the code with brackets because the forum would think I am trying to embed a video. Just use the new button to automatically insert the code) Using these codes is simple. While in the post text box, you will now see "add yt brackets". Simply add the video ID from the YouTube URL as the code automatically adds the rest of the url.

We hope you enjoy the new enhancements!

Nice features and look; though my mute computer limits my viewing of videos, which isn't a bad thing considering the amount of time I tend to waste as it is :rolleyes: :D

Thanks all, Hopefully someone will start using the gallery function. I have it set up where ACME members can have 10 galleries consisting of 20 images each. The gallery display on the main page will show random images from all of the galleries.

The images are stored in the forum database rather than a folder, so they can't be hot linked by another site. we conserve bandwidth doing it that way.

Nice new features. But what is a YouTube Video? I never heard of that. I will add my gallery as I'm sure other members will too.

YouTube is a site where people upload interesting videos. There is a player on the site so you can watch them. Go here (http://www.youtube.com/) and search on any car subject and you'll see the videos people have posted. The nice thing about it is a site like ours can see the videos without having to store them on the server or make the user download them to view them.
