I've just finished upgrading our forum to XenForo 1.1! There are lots of new changes, so I figured I would make a new announcement thread to go over it all.
Before I get started though, I'm sure a lot of you are already wondering what happened to the dark skin. Well it's not gone permanently, I'm just waiting for an update to get issued for it and then it will return. Don't fret, it will be back in no time. In the meantime, there are a lot of changes of which you guys should be made aware.

The Return of Warnings/Infractions
For a while now, moderators have been complaining about the lack of good moderator tools in XenForo. Well this update brings back the point style goal keeping for infractions. If a user commits a violation of our terms of use, they will receive an infraction. Users who receive too many infractions in a short amount of time will have their accounts placed on probation where they will have restricted forum access. Extreme cases will be banned outright.
User IgnoringThis is probably the most requested feature here at 8WayRun. Now, in addition to being able to "follow" other users, you can also mark them as ignored. If you ignore a user, all their posts on the forum will be hidden from you. You will not be forced to read their posts.
Search Within ThreadsSome threads get long! And sometimes its hard to find the relevant content. Now, if you are within a thread and you click on the search bar, the search options will include check boxes for "Search this thread only".
There are many more updates, but I'll leave that for you guys to discover.
