Everything regarding the development changes of Coder Profile along with the version that the change applies to.
You can see the current version of Coder Profile in the footer.
All blog posts are written by VBAssassin who's an engineer guy, not a journalist :-p
Fixed the name of a URL in notifications regarding new ratings
Added links from your account homepages source code & article pages that point to it on your profile. Basically making sharing your source codes etc much easier
The forums quick reply button now does some "cool" browser stuff... go check out :-P
Date of Birth now produces the correct age nearer a members birthday (people were having their birthdays a few days early! lol)
Account Reminders now contain a direct link to CP (thanks to Napalm for the suggestion)
Personal Message setting "Only allow My Contacts to PM me" has now changed to "Only allow My Friends to PM me".
When browsing coders you can filter them by a specific letter
Thumbnail caching has changed from using the database to keep track of file names etc, to using only the file system.
All thumbnails now show larger images using a much cooler effect without opening a new window (or tab) each time.
All the sites AJAX has been re-written, uses the prototype framework, and added little loading images.
Notification Summaries now have a default of 3 days.
Notification Summaries now have the delay reset when you login. So they are now sent X days since you last logged in to CP. This helps prevent annoying you with Notification Summaries when you generally check the site daily.
You can now turn off your Notification Summaries via the notification settings page instead of your account settings page.
Minimum length of 1,000 characters has been set on Coding Articles.
Speed improvements overall have been made such as the .js files are now gzipped etc and YSlow now rates the speed of the front end of CP as a B :-) which is very acceptable.
Your profiles have a new "more actions" link and a few design touch ups.
New - User Groups
Create private and public user groups
Add who ever you like to private user groups and they don't even know they are in the group!
Create and join others Public user groups such as "Top PHP Coders", or "AI Enthusiasts"
When creating public groups, you can set different entry settings. Maybe you want to manually accept members in to the group after checking them out, or maybe you don't care who joins the group? The choice is yours.
When creating a public group, your the leader. This means you have control to ban and remove members from the group. You can't add members though, they have to join via their own free will (and they can leave when ever they want as well).
Moderate comments left in a user group. Only members accepted in to the user group can leave and view comments made by the group. So have your own little group discussions going on!
Leave notes beside members in your private groups to remind you who they are, or why you added them to that group.
And so on...
Revamp - Contacts
Completly re-written
Not much is new with the contacts system that the old one, just more efficient and can be embedded in to other sections much easier than before
Revamp - Friends
You can temporarily leave a friendship, and join again later on without requiring to revalidate the handshake process
Send invitations with personalized notes
Ban a member from your friends list
Remove members from your friends list, meaning they must send you another invite.
Keep track of friends you have banned etc
New - Fans
Obtain fans via your profile.
Ability to see who your fans are.
See what coders you are a fan of.
The basics for the fan system are here... but it will be expanded on a LOT in the near future.
Think thats everything... i'm sure i've forgotten a few things... but you like surprises right? ;-)
