Buddy Lists, Groups, Photo Albums and more!

Full-fledged buddy lists (integrated into your DGCR profiles)
Member Groups (integrated into your DGCR profiles)
Member Photo Galleries


The latest version of the forum software I use will have those features and I plan on on hacking it up a bit as I have with the Calendar so your DGCR profiles will show your buddy lists, group memberships, etc. It looks pretty cool and I think you guys will like it a lot. As far as the photo galleries go, there may be some quantity restrictions there (at least at first) as there is a finite amount of hard drive space and I want to give priority to course photos and files for the site.

I also plan on trying to carry over your avatars to the DGCR area as well.

Phase 1 will be to get the latest version of the forum software up and running on the site. That will happen this week some time (the forum will be unavailable during the upgrade). After that I will have to dig into the code and database tables to and figure out how to merge the stuff I mentioned.

Also, I can buy a blogging package so you guys could have your own blogs on here. If there is any interest in that let me know and I'll pony up for it.

Upgrade complete.. all your forum profiles are now myspace-ish with the capability to comment, add your own picture albums, own colors, buddy lists, etc.

Rather than mix the two profiles you have on the site, I've decided to keep them separate. I am going to add a tab to your DGCR profiles that says "Social" and your forum profile will be considered the "Social" one. There is also a link on each of the social profiles to your DGCR one so course lists, etc. for your friends are just a click away.

Let me know what you guys think.

By the way, most of the new features can be found under the "Quick Links" menu. If you run into any problems or questions feel free to post here, PM/Email me, etc. and I'll do my best to get an answer for you.
