New Site Software Update

[Harry]

In anticipation of the coming 2017 season, we have just performed a new software update on the GoMeanGreen site.

There are a number on improvements which are being offered on this update that we are excited about.  As always with implementing new features, there will likely be some issues that arise and we ask that you bear with us as we address these fixes in the coming weeks.  Please note that as part of the update, some of the search indexing features are being repopulated and this will take a few days to complete. 

In the past I have done a full download of all of the new features, however this time as we are still figuring everything out ourselves, I want to share everything in a piecemeal fashion and answer questions etc accordingly.

For now, as we evaluate the updates, and which ones are the most useful, I wanted to share one item that you will notice and can begin using right away.  "Reactions" is a component of the software which allows you to use new reactions to posts.  This is above and beyond the typical +/- system we have used for many years.  I thought this would be something we try and see how it works out.  Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on this and we will adjust accordingly after a period of evaluation.  So, you can still do a +/- as before, but you can also now do  the following:

I really like this upgrade Harry. Great job 👍🏻The site feels like it actually belongs in 2017 rather than 2005.

One of these days, you need to do a thread with screenshots and key features of all the past versions of gmg.com.

The Confused one looks more like a look of constipation

I like that the different votes are separated. Gives everyone an idea just how positive or negative someone's post really is or at least how many people felt to react to someone's post.

Harry  looks great. Can you find one to add for the expression "what in the hell were you thinking?"

Hey @Harry can we get a sleeping react meaning we are tired of hearing the same argument over and over? I only jest (kind of)
