    Post in here if you find anything new or interesting about the new-look forum. So far I've only noticed the SPOILER and ACRONYM tags, which should hopefully end whitetexting.

    Posting:

    - Spoiler Tags: Covers text in a black box to be highlighted.
    - Acronym Tags: Displays a small text box when the cursor is rolled over.
    - Font/Size/Color: Drop-down boxes display preview of formatted text.

    Profiles:

    - New MySpace-esque layout.
    - Member rating system.

      Haven't had a good look around yet, but I've noticed your avatar and sig can't be seen. Fixorz!

        Ever thought that maybe he doesn't have an avatar? I mean; I don't.

        Although I can only see part of his sig. Some of its got changed to IPB Image.

          Yeah, but he's obviously got an image there, it just can't be loaded for some reason.

          A cool thing I've noticed was that you can rate each user with 1-5 stars. The only user who has been rated for now is me. And somebody gave me the maximum: five stars. Who did that?

            Some people seem to be getting confused by the acronym feature.

            Hold your cursor over THIS.

              Hey, I was wondering exactly what the "Acronym" function did, thanks!

              Mostly I just like the new User Profile features. No one really looks at each others profiles, at least I don't, but maybe I will more often now. The old IPB boards really didn't have very much in terms of Personal Profile customization.

                The whole commenting feature is reminiscent of Myspace, but it is a nice little addition to the forums.

                    It's still missing a changeable layout interface (eg. iGoogle, My Yahoo).

                      Another new feature is that when posting, if you select some text and click the size drop down list, the different sizes will be displayed as how big they will appear. Pretty useful. This also applies to fonts, it gives you a little preview of what the font looks like.
