AC/DC zone gets forum overhaul
To celebrate our first birthday (yes, it really has been that long) we decided to give our forum a new makeover. Not only are we making progress, we are also pushing forward and progressively aiming to have a marketplace right here so that members can buy and sell their collectibles and memorabilia – along with anything surplus that other fans might like to own. The benefit to this, over say eBay, is that you already have other AC/DC fans right here that are most likely to want to add to their own collections.
Features, features, features…
We are packing as much as we can in the way of new features, pushing the boundaries of what traditional forums are able to offer. From social networking features and connection to and from Twitter and Facebook, we are on top of our game in an ever increasing world of technological advancement. Our board automatically detects if you are browsing with an iPhone and switches to iPhone mode! – we even have an iPhone app for our board that can be downloaded from Apple™. Yet we are also small enough to care and to ensure that these features do not intimidate or overwhelm our users. Careful planning and commitment to informing users well in advance of any change is a priority.
Here is a small list of features currently supported:
- Upload your own personal profile background picture
- Comment on status updates
- Import and export to Facebook/Twitter
- Import avatars or choose one from our gallery
- Personal Messenger with 1000 message limit
- Choose from a wide range of notification options
- Change display name
- Browse anonymously
- Choose who can see your blogs and galleries
- Invite other members to take part in personal conversations
- Several chat-rooms
- Upload and download facility
- Choose from a selection of forum background pictures!
- Topic Preview
- Content sharing – live icons directly post to Twitter/Facebook
- Pop-up mini-profiles
More than anything else, we hope other fans will find our forum a useful and engaging place to hang out and make friends. One thing that is unique to AC/DC fans, is no matter where you go, which country or continent, AC/DC fans are the friendliest fans on earth. Our forum is just an extension of that great comeradery which exists between fans.
