Kind of good admin
Administrator
First and foremost - at this time the forum is not 100% complete. The forum has been down now for more then 3 hours which is longer then I wanted for it to be, so I'm re-opening it and working around you guys. If you see a problem please let me know in this thread!

Forum Upgrade News
In the new forum upgrade a lot of code changes, bug fixes and a few new features have been added to the site. Some of these changes allow you to use the quick reply box without reloading the page over. Try it - go to a thread post a message in the quick reply box and notice your reply is added instantly, no page reloading needed.
For Internet Explorer users, if you have an IE add-on called IESpell installed on your computer you'll also notice that the quick reply box and the standard reply box has a button added which will quickly spell check your post. **This button will only show if you have IESpell installed**
Skype has also been added to members profiles list of messaging services. Skype is not only an all in one chat program (handles AIM, Yahoo, and MSN) is also allows you to have voice chats and make internet phone calls with other Skype members for FREE. So if you have a Skype account then please add your screen name to your profile!
Speaking of user profiles - the RCNT member profiles page has been greatly improved. Now allowing you to post much more info about yourself such as your real name, email addresses, business name, sex, about me, you can also list R/C's that you currently own as well as post a picture of yourself (if you're that brave ) another REALLY neat feature of the member profile page is the abiltiy to add your location (city, state) to your profile. The difference between now and the old way is that when others view your profile they can click on either the City or State in your profile and a new page will load that will show you all the members that have the same city or state as that member. This makes it much easier to find other members near you...Can we say R/C Bashes!?!
Please, please, please take 2mins to check out "My RCNT" and update your profile as much as possible. The updated profile page benefits both you and the member looking at your profile.
Advanced PM Options - In the past members have complained about PM's automatically saving in their sent box, or not auto saving. Now you have three new options in your control panel:
- Ability to set "Request Receipt" on or off by default.
- Ability to set "Save PM" on or off by default.
- Ability to set "Delete Original PM" on or off by default.
So now it's up to you weather you - just one more way to customize the forum to YOUR needs.
Supporting Member Changes
Both "Get your Avatar and Custom title" and the "Get your Avatar" memberships will no longer be offered to members. Those members who already have a subscription to these memberships will continue to have membership access until cancelled.
What this means is if you want a custom title or avatar then you'll have to become a Supporting Member, which is currently offered in monthly and yearly subscriptions. Below you'll find all the other benefits of becoming a Supporting Member besides the ability to have an avatar or custom title.
Supporting Members Benefits
By becoming a Supporting Member not only will you be helping support one of the largest privately owned and non-biased R/C forums on the net today as well as ensure we'll be here tomorrow - you'll also get these extra perks over registered members:
RCNT Arcade
A brand new and fun addition to the RCNT site is the Arcade. This was a feature that was asked for by many of the Supporting Members - the arcade currently allows you to play many different kinds of games right here on RCNT from puzzles, sports, shooters, action, and even retro games (like pac-man). The arcade also allows you to challenge other members to see who can do better then the other. In the future the arcade is planned to have the ability to play multiplayer games with each other. Games such as Tank and so on. The arcade is a Supporting Members only feature.
Forum Styles
FOUR new styles have been added to RCNT. These styles allow you to change the look and feel of RCNT to better suite your liking. Instead of me going on and on I'll let the below screen shots say the rest:
