1. Spoiler tags added. See vB Code List (http://www.gtagaming.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcod e#spoiler) for more information and how to use.
2. 4 new profile fields added: PlayStation Network ID, Xbox LIVE GamerTag, Wii Number, and Favorite Grand Theft Auto selection.
3. "Welcome Back, [Name]" etc. text has been moved into the panel next to the banner, and the old area for this, removed. *Only on forum theme GTAGaming v2 (Beta); Child themes still need to be changed to include this*
4. GTA and other forum specific themes have been temporarily removed for technical purposes.
5. Footer "gap" error fixed.
6. Usergroup specific colors used in post text.

Finally Spoiler Tags, nice work on getting the "Welcome Back" etc, moved in correctly too.
Spoiler in the GTA world:
GTAGaming v3 is going to be amazing
Xbox tags don't show up unless you click the profile name, on some forums it's next to the the vaious messenger symbols.
Nice job though slim. :)

Yeah I want to see if I can get them displayed with messenger icons in posts, would be very cool.

You are doing some major work for this place
ME LIKE!
I like the text colors as well :D
Noice. However I'm not really digging how admins and mods have different text colors. Looks so... weird.
But aye, cool stuff mang.
It's made so the Admin and Moderator + Legendary users can stand out from the rest

Only because we wanted the staff's posts to stand out (not because we think we're better, for posts enforcing users to abide by a certain rule or something).
In the future we will be adding a group, call them MVPs, Elites, Legends w/e, that is made up of posters who are very helpful, contributive, and informative. They will receive color text for making good posts, but it will be kept to a minimum to preserve the effect. This group will be hand picked initially and then the group will vote in worthy members on its own.
While you're at it, I think they should deserve their own forum for discussion.

i think slim said they can decide if mods want it or not themselves, as for " regular" ones, i don't think that should happen as there are too many tags to create, addict, vet etc.

The tags are used to stand out to easily identify specific user grouped members, and they're special. If everyone has a tag, it's not as special.
