I have noticed few changes in forum soft and some of them are bit confusing at least.

Attached screenshot shows one of them. What it is and its purpose are?

Also what is this "Ready to FLEX" textbox under certain nicknames?

I'm working on it as we speak. Patience my friend.

It's a short message system, called Skypager. New skypages for you will pop up in that sidebar window.
When there are no skypages for you, the window doubles as a minigame container.
You can start a new skypage from posts of members who are currently online.

Missile Command. AWESOME .

Conceptually a skypager is so complex. But the main point is that wherever you see "Ready to FLEX" you can send that person a message. Maybe I should note that skypages are only saved until the recipient clicks "Reply" or "Dismiss" on it. That makes it more like a personal chat than PMs, I guess. New skypages are collected every time you load a page on the forum. Reading and sending happens asynchronously (without pageload). I still want to work it out a bit, mainly I'll be looking at some user options to turn off/block skypages. In the meantime here's an instructionalpromo video: http://vimeo.com/3282443

I have written the promised option today to turn off the skypager feature and it can now be found in your profile's "Look and Layout" section.

It was very easy to avoid loading this feature for anyone who doesn't want it. Actually I had included such an option when I first wrote the feature. However the fact that someone might have disabled skypages also means that you probably don't want to write them a message in the first place (which they would never see). This required a check before you can start writing them. And that required rewriting existing parts and much hairpulling and eventually took me the whole day. I hope you never use it, but you can now.
