Now that the site is on a good server, in HTTPS and able to send emails without ending up in the spam folder, it's time to look after our users!
Gone are the days when every other site responds because of Pulseheberg! No more spam emails! And no more PHPBB forum integrated into the WordPress site, which has been a real pain to administer for a good two years! We're now offering you a new site with a new forum (BBPress), filled with joy, good humour and the best of both worlds! anything we love so much !
You'll find the old forum here in which I invite you to take your presentations and so on and re-post them on the new one, including your user profile. The old forum is now completely independent, and registration of new users is deactivated.
The new forum is clearly more sober, but while it doesn't look like much, it offers a host of features. It integrates Youtube links (and apparently others) natively, integrates user login without any hassle (because it's integrated directly into WordPress), and this link to WordPress with the BBPress module and a few others, offers plenty of fun, as with the activity feed management which is well worth a visit! With the ability to quote other users using @ultimatebyte, for example. You'll be able to post a status, comment, see users' latest posts and profile changes, and more.
Check out your profiles and put on your best avatar and banner image!
You can also add a signature for the forum, which supports the BBcodesas well as HTML!
New users registered via the old forum who have not logged in during the last 12 months may no longer have a WordPress account. You will then need to recreate a and it's well done!
