We upgraded the forum earlier today and there's a few new things. As with any full software update, if you notice anything that seems off, let me know.
2 Step Verification & Security
Security online is a major issue these days. We've added a few things to help
http://www.thecoli.com/account/two-step
You can now require a two step process to log into your Coli account if you wish. This can be accomplished with either a Mobile app (Google Authenticator or Authy) or via Email. You can also set a backup code just in case you lose access to the authentication method you chose.
If your password or email is changed you will now also receive an email. This can notify you if someone else has accessed your account and is trying to log you out.
The password reset process has also been updated to a modern method.
Link Title Conversion
Links to sites are now automatically converted to the title of the site you are linking. For example
Google
You also have the ability to give a link a custom title
This is a link to google
Mass Alerts
In the past we would set up banners to draw attention to a special event or thread on the board, which was a little obtrusive. We now have the ability to sent an alert to everyone.
Post Edit Notices
Our last update gave us the option to let someone know why we moved, closed or deleted a thread. That function can now be used with editing posts. Now instead of giving an official warning, a mod can simply remove the offending part of your post and let you know what the problem was.
Thread Tagging Upgrade
The thread tagging system has been upgraded and should work a little bit better. Threadstarters can now add their own tags. Please try to keep these helpful. People abusing this will have horrible things happen to them.
Tags can also be searched now via the search engine.

Profile Post Comments
Comments made on your profile posts can now be dapped. They can also be searched via the search engine.
Coming Soon...
Media Gallery Improvements:
Redesigned "Add Media" Page will remove the grid layout and present your uploads layered. Images can easily be tagged as well
The Main Media Page has also been redesigned. The tabs have been removed and replaced with menus.
Music Improvements:
The latest reviews will now show up on the main Music page.
Menu options will be available for sorting Music as well.
Music posts also now support mentioning members.
That's all we got for now
