+ New Features Update
++++++++++++++++++++++++

V1.3.6 has just been released tonight. Here's a run-down of new features and improvements:

+ User Groups
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Admins, you can now manipulate a group of your users very easily. Simply add the users to a User Group, then you can perform any regular Edit Users action on the group as a whole -for example make the entire group moderators, or give them all a certain custom title. Click on "User Groups" in your Admin Center to create groups.

+ Mass Forum Editing
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Admins, you can now delete/edit the settings for multiple forums at once, instead of going through them all seperatly. Click on "Edit Forums", check the boxes next to the forums you wish to manipulate, and then choose from the "Mass Forum Editing" box to use this feature.

+ More Moods
++++++++++++++++++++++++

We have added a whole variety of new BbMoods to the system, you can see a whole list here.

+ Input, Select, Textarea
++++++++++++++++++++++++

There's 2 new spots in EC for "Input" colors. If you enter these here, then they will be the text/background colors for all select boxes, text boxes, etc.

+ No/Low Image
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Everyone now has the option of surfing boards using the No/Low Image user setting. Enabling this option will cause images in threads to become links to those images, rather than showing the images themselves. This is useful for anyone on a slow connection, or who just wants to screen images before viewing them. Click on "User CP", then "Edit Settings" to enable this feature.

+ Searchable Logs
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Admins, you can now search through your logs, for "IP address", "Username", and/or, "Action". You still have the option of downloading the full log to your hard drive if you wish. Please note that you must be a fixed/variable board to download the full log, as it can be very big. All admins can download the short log.

+ Users On This Board
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Admins, you now have an extra option in your Edit Forums -> Edit Settings screen, which will allow you to allow access only to users who are currently members of your board. All the old options are still there, too.

+ To-Do List
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now, it's up to you what features are implemented next. We have put up an interactive to-do list, on which you can vote for which features you wish to see next. Each release, the ones at the very top of the list (the ones with the highest ratings) will be implements. Visit http://azure.bbboy.net/todo.boy to cast your vote.

+ Minor Enhancements
++++++++++++++++++++++++

+ You can no longer delete yourself.
+ Auto-close can be disabled in Edit Board Settings.
+ Too many small bug fixes to mention - thanks to everyone who reported them!
