Hot Forum Upgrade & Cool Contest - Maybe

[Linda Buquet]

We did a MAJOR forum upgrade this weekend.
Sorry if you experienced any downtime or glitches during construction.

We now have the latest greatest version of Vbulletin which added lots of security and some cool new tools.

You can now use social bookmarking to save or share
any of the great threads here at 5 Star.

When you find a super good thread and are IN the thread -
Just click the linkback button above it -
Then below "Bookmark & Share" see -
Digg this Thread!
Add Thread to del.icio.us
Bookmark in Technorati
Furl this Thread!

You also can't help but notice the new sidebar on the right, which will make it easier for you to find and use the vast resources 5 Star offers, outside of the forum.

There's lots more new features, but for the most part everything should work very much like before, but be MUCH faster.

We are also trying to come up with a contest to celebrate the upgrade and
our impending 3,000 member mark. I want to give away some BIG bucks!
Stay tuned and let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks Bobbie, always open to ideas. I wanted to do a membership drive in the past but now I really just want more quality members, not quantity. I'd love to get more pros that would post advice and answer questions for all the newbies we have.
