F1technical.net

This is an announcement thread of functional changes made to f1technical during 2013. If you have feedback or issues with a particular feature, please create a new seperate thread in the support forum.

Some site updates have gone live today, which (among other smaller things) include:

- New thumbs voting icons (following feedback that the -1 and +1 might give the wrong impression. Opinions are diverse however, so another change in the future is not out of the question)
- Rework header styling (the user dropdown has been reworked so that it opens only on click, and closes only when clicking outside, resolving a number of issues with auto-filling login form fields)
- Rework poll system to use AJAX (voting on a poll does not refresh the page anymore)
- New layout for Newsletter (you'll see later this week)
- Possibility to disable voting system per thread. Voting is now disable in the caption competition thread. Votes made there had been undone.
- People with a website willing to link f1technical have a choice of a few new banners: http://www.f1technical.net/pr/linkus.php

A few more updates:

- Howto information for the [youtube] and tags have been added in the BBCode help page:

- Also say hello to our new F1T bot who will soon start posting

- As previously reported in another thread, all youtube clips used in quoted posts will be linked. (just like links)

Up and downvoting on posts by moderators and myself is now possible, it used to be disabled.
Abuse will be handled by a tribunal meeting among moderators

Fixed quickreply on forums where it used to work before
