Hi Folks,

We did an upgrade to XenForo and the media gallery over the weekend. There weren't too many new user facing features. The biggest one is 2 Factor Authentication which you can enable here. Right now, app based 2 Factor Authentication isn't working for one reason or another. I'm working on it with the developers. For all but the most security conscious people 2Fa doesn't mean much but it's nice to have as an option.

We can now tag threads and media. We had the tagging feature on vBulletin and it was rarely used so I expect the same with this update. I'm going to set it so that all trusted members (those with 25 posts and some time here) can tag all threads in the near future.

One of the biggest things you'll notice is if you paste in a plain 'ol link it will automatically convert to the title of the page linked which is pretty cool.

For the media gallery you can upload videos directly to the site now. I'm still working on the backend software to make it *just work* on every device. Video uploads should be up and running this week.

For those interested you can view all the features on the developers forum:

XenForo 1.5.0 Released
XenForo Media Gallery 1.1.0 Released

Let me know if you have any questions or issues.

Thanks,
Dan
