how-to Where did status updates go?

[bradl]

Two recent changes to status updates, related to the forum updgrade.

1. Status messages are now visible only to registered, logged in users. Status messages are a perk for registered members.

2. There are still two methods for adding status messages. With the new system, the fast method is two clicks away. To quickly update your status, just click your name at the top of the forum to expose the profile quick-menu. There is a place to enter your status right there - click Update and it's posted.

To close the profile quick-menu box, click on an empty area, or click anywhere outside the box.

This process is illustrated below (click to enlarge):

You can also update your status from My Profile -> Profile Feed.
