ya'll probably noticed that the boards were down for two days to undergo a server script upgrade
some new things:
for all members new and old, you'll be required to enter a birthdate (just make up a date, anything before 1992). most importantly, you'll need to make sure your email address you've registered with are valid because email addresses will have to be verified as valid to register witht he forums
and the only thing new i've seen for users is the ability to disable seeing other people's signatures in posts, and the different profile page. changes i've made: you'll no longer see the news posting board on the main page, you'll need to go into what is now called "talk of the town" and browse the first post (forum rules, etc) to find the link to the news posting page. the news posting page can always be accessed from the main homepage also
with the upgrade, there are other new things, but i've disabled them:
- attachments: we only have 100.0 kb of attachment space allocated for everyone, so it's pretty much useless =P
- karma: with karma, users can rate users on their performance on the board. useless and unnecessary for a board this size
- quick reply: i've always been against things that make people more lazy. if you want to reply to a thread, but don't want to because you can't use the convenient quick reply, then don't reply =)
- sub boards: these are boards that are under other boards, but don't get displayed on the main page
