Yeah, I'm finally getting used to the new look. Kinda missed the whole retro look during transition, but this look is startying to grow on me :smitten:\

But anyway, one cool thing I noticed is Automated Avatar/Signature resizing! No more nasty PMs from NTolerance about unacceptance sizes!!! :D (j/k! j/k!)

So, any other new features that we have that we didn't before?

I really love that feature.

I really like SMF myself.  Lots of cool things you can do with it, like the karma system and such.  Also, you can click on the red bullet at the bottom of the main page to be taken to http://www.scdev.org/forum/index.php?action=who where you can see what everyone is doing.  There's an option that warns you when someone's made a reply while you've been typing, though I don't know if it's enabled here.

We need this one! A lot of the xtra's are for the admins which makes running and managing the boards a lot easier. We eliminated our spam problem which saves me personally about an hour each day,lol.

I'm not really sure how to enabled such a feature or if it comes as a standard option.  All I know is that ZFGC somehow does it.

It is enabled in users profiles if anyone wants to turn it on. Also you can now "rate" a post by rating how useful or how much you like. The feature is at the top right of a post.

One problem I'm having is "Show unread posts since last visit"  isn't working.  It always says there are no new posts.  It's been that way for quite a while now.

It kinda bums me out because that is my primary way of viewing forums.
Current setup:
Onyx DSlite/R4DS/SCminiSD
2gig Transcend card for the SCminiSD
2gig Kingston for the R4DS
4 gigglingbytes of games/apps! WOOT!

That's strange.  It works fine on my profile.  Try messing with the "notification and email" profile settings.  We've fixed a lot of issues with the new forums by having users tweak their personal settings.

Are you sure you're not hitting Show new replies to your posts instead? I mean, that might sound stupid but I was doing that for a while and was actually wondering why it was showing me all those old posts...

Seems pretty much the same thing to me anyway, since I never pay attention to fancy features.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
