There's now a new members welcome forum, where anyone is welcome to pop their head in and say hello. You can tell us a little bit about yourself or just say hi

I've added a new build log forum in the DIY boards section, so if any of you are working on a custom build project you can keep a log there to share your progress.

Push Notifications to Your Phone or Browser
I've now enabled both Pushover and Pushbullet notification systems on the forum, so you can subscribe to either to get phone and/or browser notifications.

To activate either, you need to register on either Pushover.net or Pushbullet.com, download the app to your phone, then associated your forum account with the service on your external accounts profile page from your browser on a desktop.

Pushover costs about $5 for the app, and I highly recommend it as you you get more flexibility about what notifications are sent to your phone. Instructions on how to set it up can be found here.

Pushbullet is free, but I've found it not as polished.

Give either a go and let me know how they work for you (I do not recommend using both at once, disassociate one before trying the other).
