BBSmates Newletter Topics for Thursday, August 1, 2002:

 - Added Features
 - Coming Soon
 - One Last Note

===================================================================
 Added Features
===================================================================

Discussion Forums
-----------------
Click on the Forums link to chat with the rest of the BBSmates 
users.  I have created a few generic forum groups.  If you can 
think of any others that'd be useful, please email me. There is 
also a discussion forum for each individual BBS.  Just locate the 
BBS and click the Forum for this BBS link. I hope you all really 
like the forums, it took quite a while to get the hierarchal format
just right. ;)

List Details
------------
On the left side of the screen, where it lists the BBSes that 
you're a member of, there is a new link called List Details.  This 
page will list all the BBSes that you are a member of, as well as 
the Alias and Notes you entered when joined that BBS.  Below that 
list, will be a table of other BBSmates users that are members of 
the same BBSes you are, along with which BBS you're both a part of 
and what that person had to say about the BBS when THEY joined.

Also added the Hide/Show BBS List on the menu.  For those of you 
who are members of 50+ BBSes, i realized it may get quite annoying 
with a huge BBS list on the left side of the site.

Email Notification
------------------
Some of you may have already received a notification email.  When 
another BBSmates user joins a BBS that you are already a member of, 
an email will be sent to you.  In the email will be the user's 
Alias, the Notes about the BBS and a link to the user's BBSmates 
profile. If you wish not to receive these notifications, log in and 
click Edit Profile and de-select the Notification option.


Updates
-------
Updated the FAQ and Contact pages.
Started a new poll - Do you still use BBSes?


===================================================================
 Coming Soon
===================================================================
Due to several people asking for it, I'll create some "Top" lists.
Some of the categories will be: most members, most posts to their 
forum, most viewed, user on most bbses.  If you can think of any 
others, email me with your suggestions.
