Hate to bury this in a sub-board but I really don't know where else to put it since it's not technically related to Archie Comics... Stan Lee has died at the age of 95... Stan Lee Dead at 95

I'm starting to plan out a site upgrade/overhaul in the coming weeks/months and wanted to get an idea of what features everyone currently uses. Most of the features we have here will be staying, but a couple of the add-ons I use aren't yet compatible with the new version of the forum software, so I'd like to have an idea of whether I should wait for those to be updated...

1. Shop. This lets you earn points for posting and redeem those points for various items. This one has proven to be popular in the past.

2. Enhanced profiles. This option adds some social options to the profile - the "About Me" section, public list of buddies, profile comments, profile pictures, etc. This also seems to be something that very few are using. This one appears to have been abandoned by the person who wrote it so if it's really important I can look into updating it myself.

Also note that the theme will change with the upgrade, but it shouldn't be too hard to change the colors on it to get something similar to what we have now.

Just in case anyone didn't see my reply to the other topic about the issues, everything should be fixed now. The post form being broken was due to a server setting that was somehow messing up the URLs, and the security error was due to a hidden setting related to the addon that rewrites the URLs.

I do apologize for the problems, and am working to figure out what's going on. I'm not getting errors on my end about content being sent over an insecure connection, but am seeing an issue where the query string is being duplicated, which is what's causing the issue with posts not going through from the regular reply form.

Search has been fixed. That was due to a bug with the latest version of the forum software. I'm still looking into the post modification issues.

Just a quick note for everyone. With the latest update to the forum software, I have switched the site over to use https (secure) URLs instead of plain http. You shouldn't notice much difference (though you'll now see a green lock and "Secure" next to the URL in Google Chrome and similar things in other browsers), but this will enhance security, especially where usernames and passwords are concerned. If you have any questions or run into any problems, let me know.
