What 2006 Brings!

As 2005 draws to an end The Staff Lounge has decided to give its style and functionality abit of a makeover. First off the blocks is the revamp of the header template, to help include more informative, relevant, topical information for our users - hence, the display of "Latest Forum Threads". Also the Staff Lounge textual logo design has a bit of a makeover, presenting a much more informal, personal and collective representation of our mission statement to become your vBulletin resource. Also to coincide with the infusion of orange into the logo we have spiced up the image navigation too with nice little mouse-over effects to keep you entertained for a couple of minutes at least
Another big milestone The Staff Lounge has recently surpassed is the 10,000 post mark. Congratulations everyone and many more post, thread and member count milestone come our way - to coincide with our expansion the creation of a Graphics Team, and a Support Team to help ensure we are providing a sufficient level of support in our more specialised forums has been created and their positions now fully filled and we are hopeful you will be impressed with what Slash, Cole and Jennifer will provide in their relevant forums from now on
Does the below image look familiar? Oh! Why yes, this is the old profile view which The Staff Lounge and many other vBulletin forums once ran, but after a couple of hours of template changes and revamps we have got a much more ergonomic profile view design. With a couple of extra profile fields for you to fill out too.

For example, Favourite Music and Favourite Films are just a couple of examples of the new additions with Favourite Games currently being planned as well to be added at a later date. An example of the new profile template in action can be viewed here.

Also after a couple of complaints with regards to the old vBadvanced Links Directory script we decided that instead we would look towards installing a stand alone version with greater functionality and offerings. This is mainly targetted towards forum resources, although we do offer areas for message boards in general to submit their websites. With submissions listed by their submission date.

You can access the Directory link either by clicking its corresponding link at the top of each page, or just by clicking here too. We hope you enjoy these new updates and make sufficient use of them too.
