The latest and most up to date Vizzed news.

I've spent the past few days implementing lots of features which will ultimately make the vizzed board experience even better!


New Features Include:


Modified Message Center
This area contains your Private Messages, your Notifications, and the Announcements. These things also appear on all pages now so that users will know when they get PM's, get notifications and now people will actually know when an announcement is made.


Notifications
When someone replies to a thread you made, you will receive a Notification. If you haven't read your notifications, it will only notify you once per a thread so therefore it wont notify you again if additional replies have been made to a thread that you've posted (until you've read your notifications). When you go to the notifications page, it automatically marks all notifications as read.

Things that you get notified on:
-Replies to threads you made
-When someone signs up and refers to you
-When someone posts a comment on your profile
-When someone stickies, unstickies, opens or closes one of your threads (and it tells you who did it)
-When someone moves one of your threads (and it tells you who did it and where it got moved to)
-Additional notifications to come (so request some suggestions and if it's good, it'll be a notification)


Modified Announcements
Announcements will now appear on all pages and will let you know when a New Announcement has been made. Going to the Announcements page marks all Announcements as read.


Modified Referral System (remember, referring users earns you lots of viz)
Your referral code is still on the index but now when a user clicks it, not only does it take them to the index of the site but it lets them navigate the site all they want and when they're ready to register, it'll still set you as the referrer. The way it worked before was dumb, basically you gave someone a link which took the user to the register page and if they didn't register using that exact link, you didn't get the referral; this is not the case anymore.

Also, if someone registers that you referred but didn't use your referral link, when they're signing up, they can type in the username of the person who referred them (and it has a drop down box that auto populates with the correct spelling of all the usernames on the board).


You can discuss these feautures here to give me feedback:

We have just added a new feature: Photo Album!

Now you can upload your photos and share them with others and get Viz when someone posts a comment on them.

Here is the pricing for each picture you upload:

- Newbie = 100 viz to upload
- Trusted = 75 viz to upload
- Local Mod = 50 viz to upload
- Global Mod = 25 viz to upload
- Admin = 0 viz to upload
- Site Owner = 0 Viz to upload

For each comment you post on a photo you get 10 viz, if someone comments your photo you will also get 10 Viz.

Spamming comments will get you banned so don't even try it!

Here is the photo album: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/photoalbum.php
To upload photos visit: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/photoalbum.php?V=upload

To view your own photo album simply click on the link that says "your photo album" located next to the welcome message.

Enjoy it

As many of you have noticed since yesterday new threads and replies were not working. All posts that you made during this time are lost and cannot be recovered.

This is mainly due to a server upgrade for increased RAM which somehow was able to glitch the database.

David has repaired the database so everything should work fine now.

We have just added another new feature this week: Automark Threads Read!

This feature basically marks a thread as read when you view the thread for those who don't know the point of it.

Believe it or not I don't think this feature ever worked as long as I've been here (4+ years). It was also a feature DM has been requesting for just as long as I've been a member. Glad it is finally up!

Enjoy it

We have just added 3 new features:
1. User Profile Comments
2. Edit Profile User Pic & Minipic Uploads
3. Picture Attachments on New Threads & Replies

Enjoy

Vizzed Development

We have just added a new feature: Block PM's From Certain Users!

To block a user from sending you PM's simply go the users profile you wish to block PM's from and click on the 'Block PM's' button at the very bottom of the page. To unblock PM's from a user do the exact same thing. If you blocked a users PM's then the 'Block PM's' button will say 'Unblock PM's'.

So if someone is annoying you or being rude, just block them

Thanks,
Vizzed Development

We have just added a new feature: Sending Viz by user profiles!

*You will not be able to send Viz if you are not logged in or if you are viewing your own profile.

To send Viz simply go the users profile you wish to send Viz to and it will appear above the users post layout. If you don't know what or where that is then scroll down to the bottom of their page and you will see it

First I would like to say that we are currently in the process of patching this hole....

Someone SQL injected and showed us a pretty little picture. So with that being said, please change your password to something that you don't use on other sites. That is a good practice to us everywhere though.

The staff members and I will let you know when we get everything patches.

Please note: Every site is vulnerable and securing it isn't an instant thing, people find exploits on websites all the time. I will be going through files and patching things as needed.

Thanks,

The Staff.

Some things that have bugging the hell out of me is inactive/banned/people who dont post showing up everywhere. I took the liberty to edit a few files.

You will notice we dont have a billion birthday on the index page thats because you have to meet these qualifications...

Must have account above banned status
Account must have 10+ posts
And it has to be your birthday of course


//++
// ACS
//++

ACS has been altered too if you're banned then you do not show up on the ACS either.

I look forward to implementing a few more features, this should also help speed up the servers response with not having to grab a billion account that only play games.

Thanks,

Vizzed Development

First let me start by saying welcome, you are now a member of our Vizzed community and we're glad to have you....

But with being a member becomes responsibility, it's just like getting your license. It's a privilege not a right. With that being said if you tend to break the rules we take privileges away. (Sorry thats just how it goes)

We ask that you read this before continuing, consider yourself warned.

On behalf of the staff welcome and thanks.
