check list of 20 features that are on offer on this site

if ALL FEATURES shows YES than you should have all of these

Update Status	From your top menu click the option "Update Status" and type in a daily (weekly/monthly) update e.g. "Getting my car repaired today!" /"Getting married today!" anything like that. The idea is you can easily/ rapidly update this anytime you want (that's why the top menu has it)	1
Profile Comment	Click on another member's profile, leave a comment on their profile e.g. "Hey Frothy I used to have that avatar - where did you get it?" / "Do you really live in West Molesey? I grew up there!" / "Congratulations on passing your exams!" anything like that	2

hi xHx

just to clarify

Vista, wowblue and VidoStyle have not been updated to 3.0.6 and consequently are among the unupdated styles which do not allow users to vote

if you choose Vista, wowblue or VidoStyle, you could very well find that in any poll, you will not be able to cast a vote. if you don't care about voting then everything else should still be in place

[xHx]

I shall bear that in mind

I like ProSilver anyway but just thought i'd use VIsta for a few days to see the pretty pictures.

You see, you should have all just stuck to SubMerged, as it is after all the best!!

the following styles will be DISCONTINUED FROM 31.12.2010

1. Vista
   
   
2. wowblue
   
   
3. wowgold
   
   
4. wowgreen
   
   
5. wowred
   
   
6. VidoStyle

If YOU are currently using any of the above styles I regret to inform you that because of the style author failing to update the style at phpBB.com, you have not benefited from standard and above standard phpBB features

If YOU are currently using any of the above styles on 31.12.2010 there is no cause for alarm, all users who are shown on those styles at the time they discontinue, will simply be automatically and safely transferred to another style, which in turn they can easily change via their own UCP, accounts will not be effected in any other way and no "harm" will come to account holders who "stay" in those styles right up until 31.12.10

apologies for any inconvenience caused
