Hello everyone and welcome to our November Members Update.

This monthly post is to keep you informed about what's been going on behind the scenes at 420 Magazine during the last few weeks, introducing you to our valued new and renewing sponsors and highlighting our monthly contest winners.

Firstly, may we wish all our members and guests, and their families and friends, health and safety.

We continue to see a big influx of new members. "Welcome!" to you all.

You have joined the friendliest, most mature and comprehensive Cannabis and Hemp website in the world. In return we'd simply ask that you spend a few moments reading our Posting Guidelines. It helps us no end if you can stick to these: it reduces the time we need to spend moderating and advising, allowing us the space to continue maintaining, developing and adding to the website itself.

We've also added a handy shortlist of links which answer the most common "how to" questions about posting and to help you get the most out of 420 Magazine. Welcome New Members – Please Read Before Posting

And why not post a little bit about yourself in our Introduce Yourself thread? It's a great way to start conversations and get initial guidance.

As we do every month, we'd like to extend our special thanks to those members who take the time and trouble to voluntarily welcome members who introduce themselves. They show and share great 420 Magazine positive vibes. Many of you also help us by reporting spam and other infractions, which is much appreciated as we cannot be everywhere. Your support does not go unnoticed. Thank you all!

We would also like to thank those members who take a moment to report the spammers and spambots, trying to take advantage of 420 Magazine's reach at the expense of our paying sponsors and our members. It's a great help to our busy team when you see and report such activity. Just remember - one report per spammer please. Multiple reports on multiple posts of the same spammer from the same member actually increases our workload in the back. We can quickly find everything we need from a single report.

We always say that we wouldn't be here without our Sponsors, however it's equally true that 420 Magazine wouldn't be such a great mission without you, our members. We are always grateful for your presence, contributions, positive energy and spirit of helping others. :love:

Tech Update
We have introduced a major software update to give even more features and support for our members.

Here are the new features:

- Reply box is now available to guests: when they try to publish their content, it prompts them to the registration screen to create an account before they can post the content.
- Profile Banners: go to your profile and click Edit Profile Banner. Upload an image and it'll be on your profile.
- Similar threads: scroll down when you're in a thread to see it. A prompt of similar threads should also appear when you're creating a new thread and typing.
- Changes to the behavior of alerts (eg. now possible to mark alert as read)
- Lightbox when clicking images has been improved (eg. click image from this post)
