Yes but only very briefly. I logged in and the site took forever to load and then crashed.

I didn't see anything different, but again I wasn't here very long.

What was new?

Post-a-reply page was completly different. It appeared that they had embedded a tabbed paned for the box where you type a message. One tab where you type, one for preview and can't remember what the third tab was for.

Also the code button had disappeared. So if you thought it was hard getting newbs to post formatted code before, it will only get worse from now on.

The other feature which I had no idea and the forums crashed before investigating, was some bullshit about unaswered questions. It appears that OP have the ability to assign questions to threads like they can dukes. What this is supposed to do I have no idea.

YAY! MY THREAD IS BACK!!! .... not that it matters to anyone. I was wondering what happened there ...

re: new features to the forums ...

I'm curious to see what the "unanswered" thingy is all about. I can only see something along those lines being abused by the "URGENT!!! HELP PLAZE 2B NEEDNG HLEP!" phuckos.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see ;-)

can you feel the SUSPENSE?!?!?!?!?!?!

I was able to get in real early this morning and to my dismay all the posts were being read to me by an animated sun stripper.... it's a shame that it caused system instability - it would have been a nice touch.
