Recent new features - Apr 2014

Here's what we've been creating these past few months, in case you haven't followed on the forums:

• New forum BBcodes supported
• New forum signatures
• Improved bio field for your profile - now allows you to add images, links etc
• Improved profile and team status updates
• Redesigned and improved debate and judging pages
• Redesigned site header
• Lots of improvements to search, including searchable forums
• Longer CX rounds
• New double forfeit rule - when both debaters in a 2-way debate post the same thing or forfeit in two consecutive rounds, the debate goes immediately to a vote.
• Automatic social media updates, so your debate WILL get promoted!
• Non-binary gender options - yet another world first
• Improved PDF rendering of debates
• Improved notifications
• Locally saved debate drafts
• Broadcast non-html debate edits in teams (like Google Docs - collaborative debate editing)
• Ability to join multiple teams
• Plus tons of others and lots of bug fixes as always!

We also experimented with DDO-style judge nominations, but it turned out not to be useful for improving debate.
