I am pleased to announce that over the last few weeks I have been working to bring even more new features to our site, and my efforts have been successful with the help of some guinea pigs to help me test them out and ask me all the right questions and even provide me with some of the right answers.

For the last week or so I have had several Moderators and RolePlaying Group Moderators assisting me in an effort to make our community even better than it was, and in trying to reach that goal I believe we have succeeded. Some of these new features will be very obvious over the next half an hour or so as I start making some small changes to the page headers so that you can see links to the biggest of the new features:

A Forum Gallery (/photopost/index.php?s=)

Some of the other features that have been added are not so easily noticed without some exploration or maybe just some time spent on the Forums, knowing what different limitations and things are currently available.

If you look at the link to the Forum Gallery that I just posted you can see that it is a place where images can be uploaded here at SWFans.Net, but as usual with anything new and exciting there are a few catches. This is no different. There is a catch to get full functionality out of all of the new features including the Forum Gallery.

A new program has been implemented that will allow any registered member of our community to gain full access to all the new features added. It is what is now called the “SWFans.Net Supporter” program.

The Supporter Program consists of an annual subscription service. A user contributes $10 U.S. to assist SWFans.Net Forum with its hosting and software expenses and in return that contributor is rewarded with a set of new features currently including 10 listed items and a couple of others not publicly listed.

To view the full list of additional features please follow this link to the:

Supporter Account Information and Purchase Page (purchase.php?s=)

Currently there are two purchase options available on that page. One is the Supporter Account Upgrade and the other is the Supporter Exclusive Forums Custom Title change. For more information please see the detailed descriptions of each feature on the information page I just linked you to.

Note: When upgrading to a Supporter account you receive a custom title of your own choosing for your account, to be displayed in the supporter exclusive forums included in the single fee for upgrading.
Please feel free to ask questions, but I do request that you read the Information page before doing so because it will contain answers to many of the questions one may have.

Feedback of any kind is also allowed.

Currently a few of the test users have already made their contribution and become Official “Supporters”. You might notice them posting around on the forums with a new Supporter Exclusive custom title image under their username that all supporters get, as part of the package.

Thanks for your time and your contributions to our site, whether they be monetarily or even just in our site’s content.

It is important to note; non subscribing members don't lose any existing forum features :)

Thanks Yog.

And now the Portal Page also includes a Random Image displayed on it from the Forum Gallery. :)

The "Recent Gallery Image" hack for the main forums index that I mentioned in the announcement is almost complete, and is already in place. I'm hoping to tweak it just a little bit soon.

Within the next few weeks I should be adding somewhere in the vicinity of 5 new Supporter Exclusive style sets. Forum style sets that only "Supporters" can use or see. :)
