Well I have now spent some 20 hours on completely rebuilding the site with up to date components. It all went really well. Even though the site looks pretty much the same it has some new nice functions:

Many new fields in the Profile for you to fill out:
Personal details, Tickbox for Luthiers, Websites, Altoguitar, Other Guitars, Other Instruments, Bands/projects, Presentation.

A list of Alto Guitar recordings

Integrated personal message system (inbox)
Send personal messages to other users

Working searchable memberlist with different filters. You may now browse around looking at peoples Profiles

Connections - connect to users, adding them as friends in your profile

Brand new forum with tons of more features

New Gallery with zoom functions
Take a closer look at the details on photographies

New download section

Please take the time to update your profile details. Here's the link to my profile.
Just to show you the new settings that can be made:
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=62


I also took the liberty of adding some sponsored links. It won't give much money, but every click counts. I'm not doing this to make money, but I pay about $300 USD/year for my websites and domains. With bit of ads I might be able to cut the costs to about $200 USD. All help counts. I hope that's all right with you all.


Thank you all for making this a great community, and a superb resource for alto guitar players. You've all made this site.

Thanks a lot Toffe,
everything works perfectly!

Very happy to be here,

Christoffer,
That is a lot to pay out for us...!
I have just tried updating my profile, twice, but it does not seem to register...?
James.

It's all my pleasure. I really enjoy reading your posts.

That's weird, with your profile. Did you click the UPDATE button after filling out your details? You don't have to put your password in. Leave that blank to keep your current password.

Try again. If it doesn't work, PM me and I'll help you out.

Christoffer,
I did press UPDATE, so, a bit concerned, but will try again. Incidentally, most impressed with the new layout.
James.

Looks nice.
