Forum upgrade to 4.02

[webmaster]

All,

I just upgraded the forum software to 4.02, and this release should address many of the problems.

- Link to first unread post is now working again
- IE6 browsers (NMCI) should display much better (I haven't tested it yet, but I guess I will see at work tomorrow)

Here is the actual update info:

Highlights of whats fixed in 4.0.2:

• [Ads] Quote and Advert in First post content

Seems like the website is loading a lot quicker also.

Old "index" front page is back, with recent posts working. For the time being you can access it from the Navigation Bar, by selecting the INDEX tab.

- Unread posts and Reputation comments prompt: added again, when logged in available in the top right of the webpage, beneath notifications.

Unread posts definition: It will show you when you last logged in and accessed, and it COUNTS the number of posts since that last visit and displays how many you have unread.
