The number of private messages and signatures in our database is excessive and most are from inactive members. Neither will be moved over to the new system. We recommend reviewing your Private Messages and download those that are important to you. You have until December 20 to do this.
For those who have the Signature option, you will be able to create a new signature.
We will be using industry standard Emojis. Emojis work across mobile and desktop devices.
Emoji Features
Some smilies will be dropped. But, most smilies have an equivalent Emoji.
We will no longer provide a set of avatars to choose from. Everyone will be assigned a new avatar with the first letter of their username. All uploaded avatars will be moved over to the new system. But to be safe, we recommend you download your favorite avatar(s) to your computer for later use.

Improved page speeds across all devices.
Members will now be able to Mention other members simply by typing @name. When using @name, the mentioned person will be notified, if they have opted to receive notifications.

All members can log in using their Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn accounts.
In addition, we will now offer alerts to you for unusual account activities. For example, if someone tries to login using your credentials at a different location or device.
Changing your lost password is now more user-friendly.

A new Notifications System that will help members stay updated with new content. Members will now be able to follow everything on the site. The power to customize - which notification and where to send - is set per individual.
Fewer Ads! Our goal is to get the average of ads displayed per page to 3. On long pages, you may see a max 5 ads. On very short pages, just 1 ad.
We will also offer a new membership that provides 100% Ad-Free experience with many extra perks.
Our goal with the new system is to improve your community, identify and recognize site leaders, and highlight great content. We know you will love all the improvements coming to allnurses.com.
