Dear members and friends,

On April 1, 2004 we will be releasing the next revision of s2ki.com. Its been two years since we adopted our current format and in that time we've grown a lot. We have added on to meet the demand over that time but it's time to refresh. The new site, version 4 or v4 for short, will of course be functionally equivalent to the current v3 scheme but with a number of additions and remodels.

These changes include:

- New forums software and format. We are updating your forums in look and feel to hopefully make it easier to use and more functional.

- New gallery. The new gallery will offer more stability and more features.

- New chat. We are updating the live chat function.

- Better navigation: More help and clearer organization. New clubs section with home pages and club galleries. Reorganized forums categories. Better search facility.

The new v4 site offers a framework to scale and continue to develop the site into the future. We will be announcing a beta version in about 2 weeks. This version will have a snapshot of the site database at the time it's announced. It will not be a live site and anything added will be later deleted when the final release happens. It will be available to preview however and we would appreciate any comments you may have or any bug reports.

 

Hmm, an April Fools release date. I smell trouble.

Looking forward to it Erik

 

Progress is good

 

Thanks for all of the work to set this up

 

Hoping for control over our badges. Like the order, number in a row, visible or invisible, etc.

the whole badge thing is going to change. We never envisioned people having as many as they do today. We also didn't think there would be as many as their are.

 

 

Can you elaborate on this please? Or will we find out after the fact
