A few new features of the forum we thought you all might want to know about...
Quick Reply vs. Full Editor:
The forum may seem faster to do replys on, mostly as the quick reply is used by default, which does not open in a new window. However if you want the full editor, the one with all the formatting buttons and smilies, just double-click any Reply button. If doing a multi-quote reply, select the posts you want to quote, then double-click the last post's Reply with quote button and you'll get the full editor.
Image upload:
The image uploader has changed, once you get used to it, it's not a bad interface. If you don't like the new uploader, you can change it back to the old style in your User CP>>General Settings>>Enhanced Attachment Uploading options.
My Images:
In the advanced editor under the Smilies on the right, you'll find a button called My Images. The button will bring up a dialog for you to insert links/full photos of images that you've uploaded once before from either your albums or attachments. Future versions of this dialog may include Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket albums, all of which will be tied to your user cp to manage your own accounts for those. The button will also be on the toolbar of the editor, it's there now, just grayed out as I haven't got it working yet.
