It's that time of the year again...

With exams rapidly approaching, what better time to develop a new website. Some of the new features include:

- Interactive news - post comments and replies to news
- Categorised news - only see news relavent to you
- Latest news displayed at top of page
- RSS news feed

- New layout - brighter, more space, fully css (if you care)
- Photos menu is a seperate category
- Slightly tweaked paddle logo
- Using version 2 of core CMS (SmintyCMS)

- Photo comments - view/add comments next to full size image
- Bulk upload photos - email all your photos in one go as a zip file to the site

- Avatars - displayed in login panel and forum posts (uses your sunion avatar)

- Instant chat - chat in real-time with other users of the site
- See in real-time who is online at the same time as you

- Calendar - studentified - now arranged in terms, with week numbers

- Forums - latest displayed at top of page
- New forum icons

- Exec - you can now send email using the site "From" you (replies go to you)

Plus many more I can't think of right now.

Post comments if you have any problems/suggestions.

good work with the website webbo, it's looking really good.
Suggestions- maybe get rid of irrelevant posts?- like the one about poloing over easter?

possibly ask polo to do somethin about their side of the page. there's not been anything about the polo rules since this has gone up. maybe we should ask someone from their side to write a summerised version of the bcu rules for new/aspiring members?

Some of the old forum threads that had disappeared have now returned, including the Polo thread.
