Decided to re-add the shoutbox/chat in forum and removed the shoutbox on front page. Easier / Faster moderation and chatting this way.
Also you can now add more stuff to your profile.
Also if posting really large images use the hs (highslide) button - so it can shrink the image and when clicked upon re open in regular size.
ex)
[hs width=300 height=300]http://www.nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/starwars6_h.jpg[/hs] (http://www.nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/starwars6_h.jpg)
Also testing out a new reputation system - By clicking the heart under the user's name.
Removed the reputation system and just added Thank You system
