Open Panel Latest Forum Post
Latest Forum Post |Maximumbreak.com V4 Update| Posts:4835

The latest news on the next version of Maximumbreak is moving along very nicely. So for the new design has been completed and now we are going through the development stages of the site code which is 75% complete.

We have included more things for our members to make use of such as a new bespoke forum and blog. This allows members to write posts and start new topics in the forums aswell as write their own blogs for all other members to reply and comment on. It's not the likes of the advanced forums and blogs already out there made by third party software developers but, it does work with the site and all works under one login. This means that when you login to the site you will have instant access to the forums and your own blogs which we are sure you will be very happy about. The old forums we are going to leave in place and will be closed from new registrations and posts. You can treat this as an archive.

In your profile area we are keeping the One2One support system in place but a newer version that makes it easier for you to request help and log these requests for future use.

There is a live bookmarks system that allows you to bookmark your favourite pages/areas of the site. You will have your own photo gallery, an internal messaging system, youtube video channel and a profile page that you can use to add anything you like. Think of it a little bit like a facebook page where people can become your friend and visa versa.

All of the sites content is much much easier for you to find what your looking for, we would say it's an 100% improvement on the site your using right now. Not only that but if your not keen on the colour theme of the site then you can switch it to a different colour of your choice. The home page is made up of panels that you can remove, move to different location aswell as collapse them out of the way.

We are very happy with the work completed so far and cannot wait to release it to you, but we need to make sure it's right before we do. We estmate it being ready for july 09 ready for the new snooker season. If you have any feature requests you would like to see built into the new site please use the site contact form to get intouch with us.
