Ok I know your wondering why the forums were in maintenance mode. Well I basically went thru all the coding and got rid of unneeded and unwanted scripts. I also added a few. you should now get a pop up when you receive a new IM there is also a place now on the main page in the info center that tells you if there's new announcements and also another menu down there so you won't have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to click on something. I hope you like the new additions to the forums and such expect the forums to only get better as time goes on. especially when PBV4 is released. I know a lot of the smileys are down also. I am gonna try to fix this and host all of the smileys myself so this problem doesn't occur any more but there are over 100 smileys so it may take some time. if any one wants to make smileys to be put on the site in place of one that is missing start a thread in the nonsense section and post your smileys there. thye have to be about the size of the current smileys so nothing to big.
Also there is now a buddy list for the forums. to access and add buddies go into your messages screen and to the right there should be a grey square (for now) then type in there USER NAME Not there DISPLAY NAME. then where it says display name you can put anything you want. the buddy list doesn't have many features as of yet but hopefully soon it will. right now you can just use it to easier IM a buddy in the future I hope to have it so it tells you if there online and maybe a couple of other things.
