6G Celicas is Now Upgraded Options

[Coomer]

Today I finally got the main site upgraded. It's not completely done, but it's done enough to be put online.

Some new features include:

• Better Profile URLs: (example: http://www.6gc.net/members/coomer)
• Ability to Re-Order Profile Photos
• Addition of a Contact Form
• CAPTCHAs for User Registration
• Addition of a Downloads Page
• Ability to Add Parts
• Ability to Add Part Photos
• Ability to Remove Your Own High-Res Photos
• Ability to add your MSN Messenger screen name and your Yahoo! Messenger ID (and it gets displayed in your profile)
• Ability to Add Your Website URL if you have one
• Ability to View Past Featured Ride Interviews
• Better Error Messages on Forms
• Member Filtering/Searching Should Work on Safari
• Online/Offline Status Shown on Member Profiles
• Wiki-Style Editing of How-To Articles
• Ability to Add How-To Photos (Ability to Add How-To Articles Themselves will be online within a week)

Today is really hectic, and it's possible that I missed something, so if you see any problems, please let me know so I can fix them.

Also, if you're having login/logout problems, clear your cookies. The new login system may not work with existing 6GC.net cookies from the old site architecture.

And let me know what you think. More features will be coming very shortly now that the new architecture is online.

I didn't actually have to make custom pages or anything for specific members..there's no way I could have the patience for that, haha.

If a member's name consists of only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dashes, their profile will come up if you type http://www.6gc.net/members/USER_NAME. Though it can also come up if you type http://www.6gc.net/members/NUMERIC_USER_ID

The only exception to that is the tiny portion of members who have entirely numeric usernames, like 1900. If you go to http://www.6gc.net/members/1900, it takes you to raz128's profile, because his user ID is 1900. To get to 1900's profile, you need to go to http://www.6gc.net/members/874, because 1900's user ID is 874.

So yes, you can get to your profile by going to http://www.6gc.net/members/96bluevert, as can nearly everyone else. Sometimes it just shows up as a numeric URL depending on which link you follow. For example, clicking a username in the forums will take you to the profile using the numeric URL, while clicking from the members' rides section will take you to the profile using a username in the URL whenever possible.
