Hey guys and girls,
For all you SE Veterans, it has begun again. For you newer SE members, it has begun. The bots seem to be swarming back in and I've exterminated them but I can keep doing that or temporarily lock the user registration. I've done the latter so I can find that plugin I had waiting somewhere that serves as an extra firewall against bots. I will fix it and unlock the user registration again later today.
Sorry for the inconvenience but it will make sure that we won't get raided by spambots again

What's up SE'ers,
I've installed some new features for the forum. Let me know if you have any feedback. These are not all the features that will be installed as I have more in store. Stay tuned
The new features:
Profile comments: You can now leave comments on people's profiles and they will get notified if they received new profile comments.
Image auto-resize: Images now resize automatically if they are too big for a forum post. Just gotta make sure this also works for spoiler encased pictures.
Buddy listing: While there was already a buddy system in place by default this feature extends on that and you can now see member's buddies on their profile. It also includes a little bit of a better placed add/remove buddy link.
Profile image: You can now set a profile image for your profile. Think of it as a profile banner like they have on Facebook. You can find the "profile image" settings in the user control panel underneath "edit profile". General rules for the content on profile images do apply.
Profile status updates: You can now set status updates on your profile page. These will also be displayed at the bottom of the forum index (not the portal) where you can also set your status. Later on I'll see if I can enable the "Post To Twitter" option as this is a possibility.
Full edit/reply: It is now possible to go from a quick edit or reply to a full edit or reply. And it saves what you typed from the quick versions.
Profile albums: You can now make picture albums on your own profile and people can can comment on it. You can edit photo's on the photo page itself and you can edit your album on its page. You can find all the album settings on your UCP on the bottom of all your settings.
Warning for private messages: You can set a warning message in your PM settings. This will be displayed to the person trying to PM you. Think of it as kind of a answering machine.
Steam integration: Since SE is going more gaming oriented this has to be included. It will show members who are online and playing what game (non-Steam games don't work). You can integrate Steam with your profile by going to your UCP and clicking on Steam Integration in the Edit Profile section (under Edit Options). Members who have enabled this feature will be listed on the index page as well on the portal page. The list refreshes every 2 minutes.
Welcome to SilentEternity 3.0. As you may have figured out by now SilentEternity 2.0 is gone but a backup is being made as we speak. As of now there is not a lot to do as this is a completely clean forum and a lot of things are not in place yet so consider this an alpha version. But it will turn into something worthy of the name SilentEternity and with that this text will look better since the forum's theme will be darker than it is now.
Other than my own personal choice of text color there will be good news for the SE veterans among us. Once the remnants of SE2.0 is in my hands I will try to merge parts into SE3.0 so you'll get your stuff back in case you want it. Until then feel free to make your new account on this forum. I will see if I can merge your SE2.0 account with your new one when I get my hands on it.
Since this iteration of SilentEternity is completely bare and I will overlook things SE2.0 had feel free to leave a reply with your requests, ideas, feedback, etc. and I will look into them and see if I can add them or whatever.
As for now, have fun but stay civilized (albeit SE style ), the rules of the forum will soon be filled. There will also be a progress list soon but it's in progress of being created
