Some new features and improvements after the upgrading:
Quick Reply A text field will appear at the bottom of the topic page, allowing members to quickly post a reply without having to go to the posting page first.
Improved Posting Page The posting page has several new features, such as: 1) Smilies are displayed on the page instead of in a pop-up window 2) New formatting options 3) Auto-insertion of the Forum Code around the selected text (Internet Explorer only) 4) JavaScript Form validation (no more loss of your post when you forget to enter the subject)
Flood Control To prevent flooding of the forums or double posts, the time a member has to wait 60 seconds in-between posts. When trying to post before the Flood Control Time has elapsed, a message will be displayed to notify the member of this.
Topic Sorting Each user can now sort the topics on the forum page by a couple criteria: 1) Last Post Time 2) Topic Title 3) Topic Author 4) Number of Replies 5) Number of Views These can be sorted in ascending or descending order, and for a specified timespan
Dynamic Signatures With this feature turned on, signatures will be stored in the database separate from the posts instead of as part of the post. This allows members to change their signature in all posts they've made by simply editing their profiles. (Does not aply to old messages posted before this update)
Jump To Last Post On the forums' homepage and forum pages you can now find an extra icon to quickly jump to the last post made in a forum or topic.
