Country and Region Flags: In your "Edit Profile" section there is now the ability to choose your country and region. After updating this, your country and region or state flags will then show up in the "Post bit", an example is my current post bit. You can enable or disable this option in your "Options" menu in CP.
Time on Forum: A cool nifty feature that states how long you've been browsing TF. It doesn't show how long you have been registered, but more or less, how long you have been active during this period. You can enable or disable this features in CP under the "Options" section.
POSSIBLE : Username Request Change: This feature will allow you to request an admin change your username, without needing to PM them or inform them, rather, filing out a simple form in your profile, the request will then be generated for us to authorize or deny.
SOON : Teenage Forums Email: Yes that is right, soon you will be able to register or request your own @teenageforums.com email address and even have the ability to have a calendar, as well this can/will act as a "GTalk" user-sign-on.
Gallery: The gallery is no active, but still has bug, you can use it, but remember, there are bugs we already know about.
Featured Member: The featured member post bit is back and Currently works at full blast, this updates daily.
SOON : Horoscopes : This feature has been down, and will soon be resolved, I am reprogramming this feature to work.

Oh I don't like those how long you've been active things, they show me how much more I need to get out :(
The flags are good though :)

Soon I will add the ability for users to turn off that option in their profile, for now, it is just at what it is.

They are really random places as far as I can work out. And the only one I'd fit into would just be 'England'. They're not counties or anything, but then I guess we don't have county flags in the way the US have state flags.
Also I really do object to the thing claiming I've been here all afternoon. I shut the browser and everything! :(!

The flags are a indeed a nice little feature. Although all the UK counties aren't represented, I understand why. Many recently formed counites don't even have a flag anymore, but some much more established areas like Lancashire are missing from the list.
I'm not fussed though to be honest, all I wanted up was the Union Jack.
As for the other features, Time on Forum doesn't bother me and I wouldn't want a TF email address. The username change feature looks like a good idea though.

Nice ideas.
I also like the active thing, and it doesn';t mean you've been sat at the computer all that tinme anyway so I don't see why people would be that bothered about it.
And the name automatic request is a great idea.
<<< 'White rose white rose, white rose white rose' :P

Flags - I think they're great, but I think it wouls also be good if they said the names on them. Like if you hover your cursor over them, it you would see the name, as some of the region flags aren't that familiar/recognizable to many people. Just an idea :)

I agree. Me and Hells Zargon are from Bolton, and i'm using the Manchester one because there is no Bolton one. Considering Bolton is one of the, if not the biggest town in England, it's a bit silly there isn't a picture of Peter Kay or something as an alternative to a flag.

LOL, Peter Kay flag....

That been here thing is annoying. I've just logged on, and it's telling me i've 'been here' for over 17 hours.

Aye and considering I could chose from Bristol or Nottingham for my location (two both fairly important cities) and yet there still isn't a flag I could use, its a bit =/

It tells you total time you've been logged in over all, not total time per session people, stop wigging out over it.

So it's only relevent for people who joined the forum just as this feature was set up, or after?
O.o

In noob: You login, it calculates the time you stayed logged in say 2 hours (120 minutes) and then you log out, and then you login again, for 2 hours (120 minutes) total time on the forums = 240minutes :\

October 23rd '07, 12:33 AM
Except I you don't log out in which case it claims you've been there about 5 hours longer than you have.

You now have the option to enable or disable time in your "Options" panel under time.
