Okay, this thread is going to be use for announcing any major website updates.

To kick it off:

New profile public information.

Rather than putting all your links to your other internet accounts in your signature I thought it'd be handy to have those exact profile fields in your profile.
So, you can edit your profile as normal in your user control panel except now you have several other options you can input information into.

See my profile for example.

You can now add your information/links for:

Flickr
Pix.ie
Twitter
Youtube
Bebo
Facebook
MySpace
Xbox Live

If you want to request any certain fields to be added into your profile please use this thread.

Thanks.

Ban List

You can now check out who's been banned, for what and for how long by visiting this page:

Note: You wont find any banned members for spam as we delete their accounts straight away.

User Ranks

The newest addition to this forum is the creation of user ranks which will appear just below your username.
They are dependant of how many posts you made. So, if you made 10 posts you have the user rank of 'Newcomer'
but if you have made 35 posts you have the rank of 'Regular Poster'.

Here is the full list of user ranks and the amount of posts you have to make to reach that rank.

Newcomer (0 Posts - Default)
Member (15 Posts)
Regular Poster (25 Posts)
Addicted Poster (50 Posts)
Important Member (100 Posts)

Site Admin (Reserved only for site admins)
Moderator (Reserved only for moderators)

If you think there should be any other custom ranks please let me know either by this thread or in private by PM.

New profile field added:

I've added a new profile field "Camera Equipment"

In this profile field you can share what camera equipment you have with other members.

You can access it and edit it in your user control panel.

RSS Feed added:

You can now see the last ten posts from fotoireland.com in a RSS Feed.

http://www.fotoireland.com/syndication.php

All you have to do is go to the address above and save the feed. It will save as a bookmark; so all you will have to do is hover over the bookmark wherever it is stored and you can see the last ten posts.
It's even better if you have Mozilla Firefox. You can just 'drag' the bookmark onto your toolbar and keep it there permanently! Handy!
