    Well, here we are, back again. The upgrade of the boards brought your friendly administration more power, and you, more features. Most notably the PM notification on the front page, stickies, user selectable time zones (adjust in your profile), and the members list (or "directory"). I have to re-hack about 15 hacks so excuse the mess for another day or so, when everything should be back to normal.

    A sticky topic is a topic that remains pinned on top of all other topic. Used for rules and readme first stuff.

    [​IMG] /me gives a big Thank You to tal for all his hard work.

    :wave:

    Finally stickies, finally n00bs may just read the stickies rather than asking everywhere for avataars and getting told to read the Faq again and again!

    Looks great! I love smiles! ;)

    Can we move our own threads to other forums now?

    I see an option down below to delete/move/close stuff... :hmm:

    OK, some more features I forgot to mention... Newbies get a welcome PM filled out by me (working on it), and you can also see who made the last reply in a topic in the Last Reply column now.

    And those smilies by the side will be removed, of course, and replaced with a link, like before.

    Oh, and now if you edit your post up to 5 minutes after posting, you won't get an "edited by" note below... This is to allow for spelling fixes we all do.

    Seriously sweet, Tal!

    Awesome work on everything. All the neat little things that are nice to have.

    The "6.5.0" makes it look wierd, now. I was used to the 6.3.x, but I'll get used to it.

    Yep, I've already noticed the edit message gone after I had to fix a typo. I think that's a great implement.

    BTW, does editing posts update the thread? So if I edit something a day ago, will it be back to the top of the active thread list?

    No, I don't think editing a thread puts it back on top... But I'm not sure.

    So far what I see is great, with one exception. I don't like all this "Re:" stuff, it looks creepy.

    Heh, funny you should mention that, it's what I just did. I'm still fixing the layout to make it as it used to be. I'm nearly done now, though.

    As for Re:... I don't know why the hell it was added in now, when it was fine without it before. I'll probably remove it.
