Thanks for the tour!
Take a Tour of ViperAlley!
Seems that I'm always adding or changing something around here; it's easy to get lost or miss some of the neat new features that have been added. Some are obvious, others are not - there's even a few hidden goodies here. So, take a look around and get the most from this wesbite! ViperAlley is easily the most integrated forum on the Net - who else has this many features tied together in just one place?

The heart of ViperAlley - the Forums. The Main Index page is a snapshot of most of the site - including discussion groups on various subjects and a sidebar with information pulled from different areas in the site. One often overlooked area is the MY ALLEY section which also provides additional information about your account. If you are a ViperAlley contributor there is a box in the My Alley which shows you amount of your donation, your title level, the amount to the next level and the total donations collected and spent.
Inside the My Alley section, you will find a newly added My Adjenda calendar. This feature allows you to setup email reminders for specific dates (birthdays, anniverseries) or recurring events (like bills). Some often useful, but overlooked features of My Alley include: Favorite Threads and Personal Messaging (that blinking envelope in your menu bar signals new messages).
A new VIPERALLEY GAMES section has been added with a nice selection of Flash games which can be played on your computer when the boards seem slow.
The forums are a heavily modified version of UBBThreads which adds many features not found in the actual product. The interface has also been heavily modified to suit our tastes here in the Alley.

NEW! This section allows our members to create "Owners Galleries" which contain photos of their cars, descriptions and links to product reviews for the modifications made on their car.

Alot of reading but im sure it helps the newbies...
Good info.!!!!!!!!!!
We need to get to get Sun Ra Kat and ReMix to put some of their wild stuff on the Radio spot. Wasn't even aware that was there --- da Tour be working for the compooter illiterati amongst us ( that be me ).
Do you think in the new Alley that we could remove the AE feature? I for one would like to see all AEs removed altogether to see the Alley grow in the right direction. AEs most often drag this place down with their snipes that are most unwanted by actual members who pay to be members of the site.
So how about it?
Please remove all AE functionality, capability and existence permanently.
Thanks,
Jay K.
