    You may already notice... 8WayRun.Com has been updated and completely overhauled! I think we can all agree that the upgrade to vBulletin4 a few months back was a mistake; it should never have been done and it did nothing but hurt this community. Thankfully, some new software has just entered it's beta stages, and it's already so polished that I'm taking the risk and upgrading our community to it.

    With any new software, there are of course some changes you will have to get used to. The biggest change you will notice that when you click on a thread name, instead of it bringing you to the beginning of the thread, it will bring you to the most recent unread post (as far back as 28 days). It will take a bit to get used to this, but before you know it... you'll be browsing other forums and wondering why the feature is missing! There are other small changes that you will figure out in time.

    The chatroom has been temporarily replaced with Mibbit IRC until Addonchat brings up support for XenForo. The Wiki is also relatively empty as I will be working for the next few days in converting our data to the new format. The Events RSVP system has also been completely overhauled... in which case, all existing event information and RSVPs has been lost. If you have an upcoming event, just make a new event thread, then send me a message and I will merge the old thread with your new one.

    You may also notice that "premium" membership has been disabled. I'm working on ideas for the new premium membership system that will give higher incentives for people to join... things like physical goods and prizes, as well as true motivators. If you are a current premium membership and wish to get a refund for overpaid months, message me. Of course, I ask if you would instead kindly chalk it up as a donation for 8WayRun.Com and let it go.

    Jaxel, how do we use the pagebreak (trim) feature in the articles?

    A problem that I have is when I go back and try to edit a post that included an embedded YouTube video, the video covers the edit post lightbox, so I can't edit the post unless I can somehow click on the More Options button so that it shows me my post without the video embed.

    If something could be done about that, that would be cool.

    Need BLOCK ASAP. Especially, as SCV approaches the troll population is only going to rise.

    Should have an icon for the XBL/PSN tags on our posts, now people have to go to our profile page to see/find them.

    Oh, and hi Maxi!

    Awesome Jaxel, I was trying to set that yesterday wondering why I couldn't find a field for it.

    The identities now show under your avatar. And if you need to setup your portable ID for PSN, go here or find wherever applicable for your region.
