Hello Maters!
We have some new features that have been added to our site. Here is a list of what you can now do as members:
Reciprocal Friendships Between Users
As part of our new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.
Public Messaging
Nitromater introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to communicate publicly via their profile pages.
User Picture Galleries
Maters can now create albums and upload pictures to their account.The ability to view these albums and pictures can be limited by the user to just board staff and people on their buddy list if they want privacy.
User-Created Social Groups
To further social cohesion between users and to encourage people to make friends, Nitromater now includes a facility to allow users to create their own social/interest groups. These groups are enhanced by having their own public messaging system, and the ability to add pictures to the group from user albums.
New Member Profile Page
In order to accomodate all the new features, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up.
The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface.
Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.
Member Customization of Profile Page
Maters can now change fonts, colors, background and borders etc. of their profile page in order to create a more personalized look.
Attachment Viewing Lightbox
Clicking on an attached image will now open a lightbox rather than open a new window, with the image scaled to fit the browser viewport. A click on the image in the lightbox will open it in a new window as before.
Blogs
Not new but just wanted to let everyone know that you do have the ability to create and run your own blog here on the Mater.
Hope everyone likes the new features. I am sure there are more to come in the future.
Thanks,
