- Max avatar size - 100x100 px
- Max image size - 1024x768 px. You can post larger images, but they will be contained in their own scrolling box.
- Spoiler tags - No longer is it necessary to post "*** SPOILERS ***" with a bunch of whitespace. Use the spoiler tag feature! Just contain the part of the post that is a spoiler in tags: [spoiler][/spoiler]
- Search - It works!
- Quotes - The board automatically strips out only the most recent quote when you push the quote button, so you don't get those posts that have like 9 quotes nested inside one another.
- AJAX editing - You no longer have to load a new window to edit posts. Just push the little paper and pencil icon to the right of your post, and it will change to a window where you can edit the post text. Push save to return to the regular view, with the changes in place.
- RSS feed - If you are using Firefox, you should see an RSS icon in the right side of the address bar. You can create a RSS bookmark, or use another RSS reader. Basically it's the five newest posts on the forum.
- Number of saved private messages - The more posts you make, the more private messages you are allowed to keep as you move up in posting groups. This is a way to reward our long-term members and save database space with shorter-term members.
- Private message labels - You can create lables for private messages and organize them into groups that way, which can be handy.
More to come.

Just found something out. If you are replying to a thread, and someone else adds a new reply before you get yours in, it will tell you when you hit send, and refresh your reply page with the new reply. Kinda neat.
-
Yeah, I saw that earlier. Not sure how useful it really is, but it is definately a... um... feature.

I thought that was pretty neat.

That already saved me once from having to edit a post. Was replying to Scott, a new post went up in the meantime, and the board warned me before accepting my post. So I added "To Scott:" at the top. That is useful.
-
that spoiler tag looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

You can enable the Quick Reply function in your profile. It's all I ever used at TME so I'm happy it's still an option here.
-
It is supposed to be enabled by default.
-
Oh, it was. The Default is "show, off by default" I switched it to on by default so it's always open. Before I looked in the settings I didn't realize the blue bar at the bottom was to be clicked for Quick Reply to come up.
-
Ah. Gotcha. Yeah, the original default from a fresh install of the forum is no quick reply at all. Kind of lame, considering the "show, off by default" setting is very unobtrusive whilst still useful.
-
The Statistics feature is awesome. There's just something about useless information on my posting patterns I love so much.
-
I just checked it out. Yes it is.
-
I don't like the stats feature. and I think i will despise it even more when i go on my disappearing acts.
-
Your job never ends.
