Dear AAT forum users

We’ve upgraded our forums to provide you with the latest version of vBulletin software. In addition to your usual tools and features, you’ll benefit from the following too:
• Calendar – manage your own diary and view upcoming events using the new private and public calendar features.
• Member profile pages (updated) – customise your URL home page, date of birth, location, occupation, biography, interests and more.
• Improved theme – we’ve tidied up the theme and hopefully made it easier for you to find what you’re looking for at a glance.
• Less spam – improved spam features should help us continue to reduce the number of pesky posts you see online.

What’s next?

We’re continuously working to improve our forums and provide you with the best experience possible. Our next step is to add Facebook Connect, so if you want to, you can log in to our Forums using your Facebook login details. We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions for further improvements, so feel free to leave your comments on this thread.

Tapatalk compatability is the main thing.

New look is great but would still like to have a thanks/like button.

Please see previous thread

Excellent

A little request

Is there any possibility that HTML code might be allowed?
I'd like to add a countdown to exam/other significant dates if that might be possible

What's happened to the search facility????

Seems to have wiped out everything between 2006 and yesterday. Nightmare!

Please get it back - it's impossible to scroll through thousands of threads to try and find what you want.

A step in the right direction but one more gripe..

..can you change the default colour for linked items.

This is all linked text but it is not very clear to see until you hover over it.

[AK002]

Very true, Dean.

A quick reply box that is always there instead of clicking reply to thread would be good, too.

Hi everyone,

Glad to hear (most of) you like the updated look and feel of the forums!

We're going to be going through the feedback next week and looking at what else needs to be addressed, so if you could send your thoughts to community.team@aat.org.uk, that would be great.

Just to briefly address a couple of things mentioned in this thread:

- Search facility: our developer will be looking at this next week - sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime
- Colour of linked items: agreed, we'll be changing that

Everything else will go into the feedback folder for us to review next week - a know some of them have been on your wishlists for a while!

Thanks,

Stuart

Update: search facility is now working.

Hi I have just started studying for my AAT. I live in Denham Village. Is there anyone in this locality or reasonably local that I can study with ?
