Busy working hard, but got a few little surprises for you!

Posted 1 year ago by Rebon - Comments (96)

Hey Firestarters!

We're busy busting our gut on some major new updates, but we thought "It's been waaay too long since we gave our kickass members some new stuff!"

So, we've got some new shizzle:

> Forum searching is now live. Woot! Scroll down to the bottom of the forum - you can now search! It will return thread title matches, and also individual posts that match the search term too. This was the most requested feature, like, ever! ;-) Ejoy!

> Clan and group search. You can now search for clans and groups to see if they exist. Just do a search using the box in the top right, and clans/group results will appear at the bottom.

> Optional message for new friends. When someone sends you a friend request, you can now write them a wall message directly from the Accept/Reject page. Lets you say thanks, welcome them, ask a question etc without having to go visit their page!

>Server upgrade. We've upgraded our servers so they can handle more people and activity, making the experience faster for everyone.

> Report spam PMs. If you have someome send a spam PM to you through Playfire, there's now a "http://pfcdn.net/site/t/blogimage/image/59.jpeg" alt="" width="224" height="87" />

> Mark all threads as read. On your My Threads page on the forums, you can now press one button and make them all as read. Hurrah.

> Unsubscribe from thread updates. Want to stop having a thread appear in your My Threads section? Press the yellow button the right and you'll no longer get updates for new posts to that thread!

That's it for now! Let us know what you think in the comments. As I said, these are only mini side updates; the real good stuff takes longer and we'll be rolling it out over the next few months. More soon.

See you around the site & forums!

- Rebon and the Playfire Staff
