A quick round up of the latest things related to boards.ie and its subsite, adverts.ie:

• The Hosted top-level category at boards.ie has been restructured, moving from Public and Private forums to topics like Arts, Computers / Technology, Games, etc. (just like the top-level categories).  So far this has met with very positive feedback.
• A new Private filter has been added to the main page, showing the latest posts from forums to which individual users have been granted access.
• Lots of new forums have been added including Prison Break, MyGrant.ie, Lego, Google Earth and Weddings / Marriage.
• The PDFs at adverts.ie are now generated daily, rather than on the fly, to reduce memory overheads (we were hitting the PHP memory limit for the main PDF which is over 30 pages).
• Adverts now have “tiny URLs” like adverts.ie/666 for quick access to each item.
• New category icons have been added for the adverts.ie sections.
• Lots more adverts.ie bugs have been either quashed or ignored!

The shareholders of boards.ie are also meeting this weekend in Galway to discuss future strategies for the company.  I bullied them into having it here, having gone to Dublin for all the previous AGMs/EGMs
