I just got done adding some new features to the forums and about to start testing each of them. Here is a list of the newest features:

Auto-Embed Video & Audio:
Automatically embed video and audio clips by posting the clip's URL into the UFO-Hunt.com forum posts from over 201 sites (hundreds if you count the supported networks), including YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, Google Video, MySpace, Facebook, Veoh...
No need for BBCode or messy embed HTML. Instead of copying the code for a youtube vid you just paste the link like, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbEI8pDz0A] without the [ ]'s of course to the video and it will automatically add the video to your post.

YouTube videos will automatically appear in HD and Widescreen if available!

Referrals:
Now all members of the forum will have their own referral link to share with your friends. And we will be able to see which member(s) are referring the most people.

The links will look like:
http://ufo-hunt.com/index.php?referredby=2 - where 2 is the user ID

To get your referral link visit your profile here:

Reputation System:
A new reputation system will now allow members to give both good and bad reputation to other members post. To view your reputation visit:

Picture Gallery:
Last but certainly not least members can now add pictures to our galleries. Please only upload and use related/non-offensive images to our galleries as forum rules still apply.

You can view the new picture gallery here (bare with me while we get more images added):

Bugs:
If you find any bugs and or problems on the forums please report them to me. Thanks and I hope everybody enjoys and makes use of the new features.

Yeah, I'm hoping to accomplish getting a good bit of images added to the photo gallery this weekend. Was going to do it last weekend but as I've explained I recently taken up a new fishing hobby which is good cause I was spending way too much time online and not getting "computer work" done. I own multiple website, UFO-Hunt, is actually something that is of great interest to me yet some of my other websites are just for money making purposes and I am a big time news junkie! I was spending nearly all my time online reading news mainly related to swine flu, north korea, and iran in the past few weeks. I'm trying to break myself of that feeling of needing to know whats going on as the news breaks. Yet I'm having a new struggle as it's hurricane season and I'm a Texas gulf coast resident who's been directly affected by Hurricane Ike and Rita so I like to monitor the tropics well.
