EAB updated ! (may 2008)

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:09

It's time again!
Today, I am proud to unveil the new version of EAB, based on the latest vB engine.

Key features:

better anti spam system (new human verification + better admin tool)
dedicated EAB lite version at http://eabmobile.abime.net/
thread tagging
whole new members page, including personal messages, friends list, social group, visitors stats, and albums of pictures !

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:10

In addition to the image verification system available in previous versions of EAB, 3.7 introduces a set of questions and answers for their visitors to deal with. Those questions are created by the staff, so they are unique to the board.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:11

EAB 3.7 contains a new set of tools to help clean up spam and deal with spammers.

Threads and posts can be selected in the usual inline moderation fashion, and then the new 'Delete Threads/Posts as Spam' command can be selected, which will load the spam management interface, which contains options on a single page for removing the spam posts and threads, banning the spammers and finding other spam they may have posted.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:11

A whole new EAB lite skin is now available for mobile device and for low bandwidth user.
This skin can be used with a new URL, this mean that mobile users will finally be able to choose what appearance to use

Normal: http://eab.abime.net/
Mobile: http://eabmobile.abime.net/

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:11

A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read.

Tags can be added when creating a new thread, or to an existing thread by any user (with appropriate permissions).

Any users who then click on these tags will not only find all thread that have the same tag as the one clicked, but will also contribute to the building of a search tag cloud, which gives users a quick guide as to what has been searched for recently and most frequently.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:11

As part of our new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:11

While private messages between users have been in EAB since version 2.0, EAB 3.7 introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to communicate publicly via their profile pages.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:12

EAB users can now create albums and upload pictures to their account.

The ability to view these albums and pictures can be limited by the user to just board staff and people on their buddy list if they want privacy.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:12

To further social cohesion between users and to encourage people to make friends, EAB now includes a facility to allow users to create their own social/interest groups.

These groups are enhanced by having their own public messaging system, and the ability to add pictures to the group from user albums.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:12

In order to accomodate all the new features in EAB 3.7, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up.

The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface.

Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:12

The 'About Me' tab of each member's profile page has edit controls, allowing them to quickly change values without leaving their profile page.

RCK · 13 May 2008, 12:13

Clicking on an attached image will now open a lightbox rather than open a new window, with the image scaled to fit the browser viewport. A click on the image in the lightbox will open it in a new window as before. A mouse roll or a click on the X button will close it.
