Thumbs up New look/features for 2008!!
As you may have noticed, Defending the Truth looks quite different!

New Features!!

Profile
  • View Profile - Selecting this link will bring you to your own profile page. Here you can view what your current profile, albums, friends, and so on.
  • Edit Details - Here you can modify your current profile (age, e-mail, password, gender, and so on)
  • Customize Profile - You have the capabilities to completely customize the look and feel of your profile! Change colors, tables, and even font-type to best meet your needs.
  • Edit Profile Picture - Previously disabled, you can now upload your own custom picture to be displayed when someone views your profile!

Photos
  • My Pictures - Select the My Pictures link to view your current pictures/albums.
  • Add Album - Select this link to create a new Album

Settings
  • Hover over the Settings menu to display all types of changes you can make to your profile! You can alter/change your e-mail/password, signature, avatar, and other options.

Friends
  • This is one particular feature I would hope most of you would like. You can now befriend other members by simply selecting the befriend link in their profile, in posts, or on the friends page my manually keying in the member(s) name.

Groups
  • The groups feature received a needed makeover, allowing users to create their own groups, invite members, post pictures, and so on. Feel free to create any group that may interest you and your peers!!

Referrals
  • I cleaned up the referrals interface to make referring people a much more simplified process. Simple select either of the links in the drop-down to refer friends or display the top-referrers of Defending the Truth. Every person you refer to this web site really helps!

Inbox
  • Private messaging is now available in the top-most menu of the web site. You are given quick access to view your current PM messages, sending options, folders, and so on. The new folders feature allows you to create separate folders for your messaging needs. This will help those who tend to PM a lot by organizing messages into separate folders.

I want everyone to be aware that there are still some small bugs that I am currently trying to fix. If you notice anything wrong, please submit the bug here..

Thank you and enjoy the new Defending the Truth!!

I just realized I submitted a mass-email to everyone with the title, "New look/features for 2009!!". It would help if I was not off by a year..

it looks great!

just one question - why no "new posts" link any longer?

The problem is that the tread goes away until somebody posts a new message. It prevents you from going back to the thread until somebody posts something new. Would you please fix that nuance? Thanks
