An as I come across them will post up sort of topic, all upgrade related

The pm system now has an auto- search at the top of the left hand sidebar

which should make finding past pms that much easier

Also can now doomscroll all your messages in the same sidebar, not sure if it goes to the very end, as too many pms, anyone confirm

Have a look

the above is for pc and tablet if ona phone ...

its not so obvious to get to your inbox on a phone

if you hit the account icon at the top of every page you will then see 'messages' link

hit that and you are taken to a list of messages not your inbox

you then need to hit the message icon togo to the inbox which has the same features - auto search etc

not sure why its like that but will have a look at tweaking it in near future

A new editor replacing the old one

Not a lot of use if you just post up quick comments and such but sure those who post articles, news, events and such will find a use for some of the formatting features

There may be some issues with posting and embedding 3rd party links as time moves on, some sites/services may need to be set to approved

Let me know, if you run into any

The forum has a new 'most helpful' feature

basically similar to reactions but a separate stand alone feature, if a post gets enough 'most helpful' ratings then it gets featured

With Helpful voting, members are encouraged to flag which posts they find helpful in the topic. When enough votes are added to a single post, they are suggested as a possible answer. You can also tune out the noise and view the most helpful replies only.

can see the link at the bottom of most posts, next to the quote link

a feature which could be quite useful imo, especially in 'box'

improved search feature along with a new live search feature added

Search has been improved both layout and execution wise

Click the search icon that shows on the top of every page and you get ...

start typing a few words and ya get...

all fairly fast and easy (depending on the search term)

A members only feature though ...

ok one feature that may be aware of already is the

Light/dark mode

Default colour scheme is System(auto)

easiest way to demo/explain is a video grab

note

As the video shows you can choose which setting light , dark or system you prefer

the default setting is now 'system' which means that the site will reflect the setting of your device

so if viewing on a phone in dark mode , the site will show in dark mode and same if phone is in light mode

to stop this you will need to select a setting as per the video

myself currently using light on the pc , use dark on my phone
