A " Like" button would be nice.

Dislike buttons would cause drama.  Like buttons though are a good idea.

Don't call it an "Ignore" button but an "Indefinite Suspension"  button as a tribute to college football.

I've been playing around with the new software and it's working out really well. Shouldn't be as much trouble to get things moved over as I thought. I just need to have an open afternoon to do it in case things get messed up. I'm thinking next weekend on either Friday or Sunday afternoon I might be able to finally get this done.

Junior, too!

So things should be more or less stable now. There are probably still a lot of bugs around. Let me know if you see any.

The layout will be a work in progress for awhile. I'll eventually get the logo, news feed, and facebook feed back up there.

I was looking at the different pages and format..  Saw we have 994 "members",  that's a nice number.  Shave, how accuarate is that do you think?  I know the other day we had a couple of new spammers..  When you dump/block someone does the number of members reflect that?

Got the logo/fb feed/news feed back in.

Apparently this version of SMF should have an ignore feature built-in, though I haven't spent a lot of time figuring out how to use it. Apparently you can access it through the user control panel by going to the private message area and adding usernames to an ignore list. Names added to that list should be filtered out of both posts and PM's. Use it wisely...

The member number is fairly accurate. I go through occasionally and prune out spam accounts. So we've had 994 sign-ups that look authentic to me. Not everyone posts of course, and plenty of people pop on just to post a few times and then we never hear from them again. I wish we had some of the users from 7 or so years ago still around though.

That has to be a good number for you/us, since this site is aimed at such a specific group.  you should be pleases.

thanks again for all you do.!
