Forum improvements  

Hello everybody,

As promised, here is a recap of the first changes brought to the forum.

1. You can now edit your posts.
Even if the word "edit" is visible below each post, it is obviously only possible to edit your own messages.

2. You will have noticed that your email is required along with your password. There are several reasons for this change. First of all, for more safety but also to be able to prepare the next improvements on the forum. It is a small inconvenience but it can easily be circumvented with the function "autofill" of your navigator or with keychain if you use a mac.
If you are not using these functions yet, this is how to configure your browsers:
On Safari go to preferences > allow AutoFill Web form
On Firefox go to preference > security Remember passwords for sites
We don't use Microsoft products, but we guess that there is an equivalent function on Internet Explorer.

3. In the form to post your messages, you will find three new fields called "associated web images" that you can use to post images.
No need for fancy codes anymore, no more tags like: img src or [img etc.
Just post the simple url of your image in these fields.
example:

As a reminder, if you dont have your own website, there are many sites that can host your images very easily.
Here are a few:

Flickr
http://flickr.com (free)
Photobucket
http://photobucket.com (free)
Picasa
http://picasa.google.com/ (windows only, free)
.mac
http://www.mac.com (mac only, fee applicable)

4. The text field has been increased to improve your writing comfort.

We hope that these changes will facilitate your use of the forum.
More to come!
