Forum 2.2 Upgrade

[Moo]

We've now upgraded to Xenforo 2.2.

Changes you need to know about:

1. Added an "activity summary email", which you can turn on/off in your preferences, under "Receive activity summary email". If on, and you are inactive on the site for a few weeks, it'll email you a summary email with info about the latest posts/threads, so you know what you are missing. Right now this only sends you at most one email per month, only includes info about recent threads/posts, and automatically shuts off if you still don't visit for ~3 months, or turn the option off in your preferences.
2. Guests now see a "reply" option on threads, and can use it to type a reply. This will be saved, and posted once they've finished registration and confirmed their email address. This makes it easier for guests to get started.
3. If you use Android, you can now install ADISC onto the homescreen of your phone/tablet more easily. To do this, simply browse ADISC on mobile, and use the option in the forum menu to "Install the app" (on Chrome) or "Install" (on Firefox). Apple devices don't support this yet. This is effectively a browser bookmark, not an actual app. So it opens in your preferred browser. The current icons for this are temporary, we have a icon contest up for the creation of new icons.
4. Members can now set their "profile banner" to jazz up their profile with a big image. Right now all members can do this, but I may limit it to ECs in future.
5. Members can now use their settings page to initiate the process of changing their username. You can only change username once per 90 days, and can't use a username that's already in use, or has been in use at any point in the last few years. All username changes need to be approved by me. When approved, your name will change and display a "formerly known as" on your profile and perhaps your posts as well, so your friends still recognize you. If you need your old name hidden because of good privacy reasons, don't initiate this name change on your side - instead just contact me via direct message and explain your case.
6. You can now upload audio to the site, as well as pictures.
7. Improved text editor, especially for attachments. Geeky details here.
8. Our dark theme (accessible via the style button at the very bottom left of each page, within the blue bar) has been updated to be compatible with the new improvements, fix issues, etc.
9. Lots of new things are now supported on the backend, like Q&A threads, features we will be looking at adding to our forums in the future.
