New feature for all forum members! BLOGS
 

We have just released Forums Blogs:

Fully Featured
It's is a fully-featured blogging that will enables Graal community members to create their very own online blogs within forums. With support for fully formatted WYSIWYG posts, attachments, comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, draft posts and categories.

Blog Home Page
The blog homepage will allow to aggregates activity from all graal members into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, a featured blog post (selected by the administrator or at random), full support for browsing posts by date and overall blogging statistics.

Syndication and Subscriptions
Site wide and per-blog RSS feeds allow syndication to external readers, and full support for forums subscriptions enables you to join your favorite blogs and receive regular email updates.

Profile Support
Profile information is displayed alongside blog posts, and existing profile pages are enhanced with information about blog activity.

Blog Control Panel
With The Blog Control Panel you can control every aspect of your blogs, from permission controls (who has access to view and comment on the blog), to full management of blog categories, draft posts, trackbacks/pingbacks and subscriptions. Blog owners also have the ability to moderate comments on their own blog.

Excellent.

Wow....wasn't expecting this.
I am so out of the loop. :(
Very nice.

Let's hope this won't be used to inform a very apathetic audience about the daily exploits of the author.

lol, more for me to moderate. Good thing I don't work. x.x

Cool!
Not sure if I'll use this...

Bad updates itt. We don't need blogs on forums, unless these are going to be purely developer blogs.

You use it if you likes, Stefan and I will use it for development news.

Meh, updates are good, but this wasn't really needed. However, it could be interesting to see how it works with a server; I'll try to test out some of these new features for Vesporia.

I'm not hating it, nor am I loving it. I'm sure someone will get some usage out of it... but I picture it being the next projects of the forums.

I took advantage of the blogs by posting my thoughts. At least it's going to a good use, for now.

I imagine they'll be moderated though, which kind of defeats the purpose of blogs. People like blogs because they can say whatever in them.

Can I use the blog control panel to block Darlene from viewing all of mine?

No

No.
