I 2nd that! ☑Let me be the first to give my thanks!
You're seconding that, 'I am first'?I 2nd that! ☑
We wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on the last week on our forum.
Last week we transitioned to a new forum software and so far we believe it was an overwhelming success!!
We decided to launch with some missing functionality as we knew they would take time to finish testing those features
and we wanted to get DP back up as quickly as possible. The basics of traversing our forum is basically the same with
a few caveats such as how to find last post and threads.
We understand that not everyone likes change but we hope that you will give our new software a chance.
This upgrade was out of necessity and not "change for change sake". It was a long time coming.
Gains:
1. Quicker load times
2. New look that works well with mobile out of the box
3. A site search that absolutely rocks!
4. True Secure https
5. Cleaner Alerts and Notifications
6. Improved media embedding in posts with more options than YouTube
7. New features - a true "ignore" function for example
We still have a lot of work to do as we have features that haven't been tested completely before we turn them on.
Our "to do" list includes the following:
1. Bug fixes (list is getting smaller)
2. Awards system (military service awards, yearly awards, post awards, etc...)
3. Donation system fixes
4. Additional styles
5. Posts per page (ability to change)
6. Advanced Forum Rules
7. Minor cleanup on back-end utilities
A very special shout out goes to our anonymous donators that paid for the software and the needed add-ons.
Thank you all for your patience while we continue to get everything in the right place.

The thank you...lol...You're seconding that, 'I am first'?
Anyway, have a good one!
Make it last! It's the only one you're getting!The thank you...lol...
I agree and also want to thank Schweddy, Red and all those who are working hard to improve this forum for all of our members. Your efforts are appreciated and I love the blue skin option....thanks!Adding my personal thanks for all the extraordinary hard work Schweddy and RedAkston have done to improve our DP experience. I can't imagine how many hours they've put into this enormous task over the past weeks.
Pretend that we still have the :kissy: emoji, and I just used it!
We are working on the awards system.I'm enjoying it! What's this new LV 0 thing under our names now?
Ok, when you guys first presented this new Format, I was Not impressed, seen similar elsewhere. But I will admit it does have some features I like and if you get a few bugs worked out I will say you have done a Damn Good Job, So, from a sceptic, Job Well Done to your Entire Team, we should all applaud the hard work, been there on software platform changes, and the Results.

One of the new features of the board,, being able to @username_01 (replacing the username_01 with the actual username of a poster) to get them a notification is pretty handy. I kinda resisted at first since it seemed too twitter, but it has proven to be pretty handy!
Great job @Schweddy and @RedAkston
The quicker load times and media embedded times are very noticeable on my connection.We wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on the last week on our forum.
