Earlier, my bookmarked link to mac-forums directed me to an iNET "maintenance schedule" (I guess) page. Got back from watching The Host, and I noticed now that member profiles have changed. I was wondering if there were any other changes made to the site?

Yes probably. I noticed the tag feature.

Just kick back and wait for an announcement from schweb. :)

It looks like maybe a newer version of VBulletin was installed. Just a guess on my end but much is changed for me.

I will wait for Schweb to comment.

Great work on the Profile pages though... don't want to sound too negative.

But I really hope the ad-free option comes back, this is the second reason I wanted a PM.:)

Yuk, I really don't like the iPhone skin.
Guess I'm not use to it:)

The messages on ones profile page, are they there for everybody to see, or just the intended user?
Love it by the way, good work!!

Aww, ads are back - bummer.
I'm sure it'll be sorted. BTW I hate the iPhone skin too.

We use albums on another forum. Allows you to add pictures to your profile. Started to do a demo this morning and ran out of time before I left the house. Have not heard whether this will stay.

The only problem I have with the iPhone skin is you can't add rep points from it. You have to go in under normal settings the revert back to iPhone.

The advertisements are not really that bad for me to use a different skin.

iPhone skin is for a basic way to access the forums from a mobile device. It isn't supposed to have all the features of the full skin.

So the ad free skin is gone and won't come back?
That would be bitter.

Ya that would make me sad ! The addfree loads so much nicer on the iPhone and still has the features. It's a nice in between the reg and iPhone skin.

I never said it will not come back :)

The ad-free skin is part of the Membership package. I am pretty sure they will add the ad-free skin back it may just be a matter of time.

I'm not part of the website operation or anything like that but it just makes sense for them to add it back.

There were some issues left over from the forum upgrade to a newer version of the software, have no fear, we'll get them fixed as soon as possible.

If you notice any other issues, be sure to post them here.
