Community Portal Enhancements

[admin]

Further to your requests via our Dedicated Member Support Center, the following features have now been added to the Official Community Portal prior to our imminent launch:

1. Skype - Displays a small image adjacent to your members details. Clicking on the icon allows you free telephone calls, chat, file transfer and to text each other throughout our Community. This is the global communication method of choice, particularly amongst our growing Affiliate teams as it's free! It allows members to organise promotions and make contact with each other cost-effectively and easily.
   
   Remember, you will need to update your Community Portal details with your Skype information by visiting here: User Control Panel >> Edit Profile
   
   You must also ensure your Skype program privacy settings are set for the Skype status icon to be shown correctly on the forum.
   
   Skype >> Options >> Privacy >> Show Advanced Options >> Allow my status to be shown on the web (select yes).
   
   To find out more, simply visit our Skype FAQ by visiting here.
   
   
2. Activity Stats - Lists all of the registered members who have visited the Community Portal in the last 24 hours. Includes stats on the number of new posts, new topics and new members.
   
   
3. Ratings & Thanks - Throughout the Community Portal you will find "thumbs-up" and "thumbs-down" icons. Use these to help rate content and thank members for their messages. This will assist both new and existing members alike to find good quality content within the Portal.
   
   You may elect to receive either a Private Message (PM) or an E-Mail if someone rates or thanks your post by visiting here: User Control Panel >> Edit Global Settings
