Hello! Here are the last updates for July and also the last updates for 2 weeks, as I am away next weekend :P

The Summer Holidays have begun and we've made a few changes to HabboxForum to try and ensure you have a better experience here over your summer break.

The changes I have for you this week are:

- Increased Signature Character Limit
- Increased Visitor Message Character Limit
- Reputation Post Counter
- A warning on old threads to avoid users bumping

Without furtherado, I'll get on with it :D

We have decided to make it so that BB code does not count towards your 1000 character signature limit, therefore your signatures may now consist of a maximum of 1000 characters over 12 lines not including BB code, you are given 500 characters extra for BB code.

Thanks to Blinger for this suggestion.

Many users have mentioned that you cannot really send substantial visitor messages, infact 500 characters is quite puny therefore we have doubled this to 1000 characters.

Yes, you may now send visitors of up to 1000 characters, including BB code.

Thanks to Alkaz for this suggestion

In the bottom left hand corner of every post, you will now be able to see how many times it has been +repped as a little number will appear in a green box, like this:

This is to enable public recognition for reputation for posts which get +repped and to encourage more people to use the reputation system.

Thanks to The Don for this suggestion.

Now on the "Post Reply" box of threads which haven't been posted in for 30+ days, there is a little warning to act as a deterrant to those who wish to bump threads - especially to teach new users that we don't allow the bumping of old threads.

This basically looks like this:
