Now running Alpha 6.

We've just upgraded to Alpha 6. This fixes some of the reported bugs and also introduces a few changes from your feedback. If you haven't registered yet, please do so and help us test everything.

Side Columns

The first change is you are now able to turn off the side columns. This is admin configurable. On this site you are allowed to turn off either or both columns.

Private Topics

The second change is Private Topics. These look more like a regular topic now. They also function much different. Multiple recipients can now be added. The max number a user can add is set in the CP. Admins and Mods are exempt. It's AJAXed a bit. When adding each person it will check to make sure they exist, that they aren't over their PM limit, that they aren't ignoring you and that they want to accept private messages. If any of those fail it will alert you as to why and it won't add the person to the list. This way you don't go through the whole thing of writing your entire message only to find out one of the recipients is invalid.

You can also see who has read which posts in the private topic. Beneath each post is a list of users that haven't read the individual post in the topic.

Any of your current private topics will be missing the "Last posted by" information due to this change. New ones, or once your current ones are replied to will fix this.

We also made a few changes to the time format. As such we had to reset everyones back to the default.
