1) MultiQuote - This one is the one most of you probably already know about. You can now quote more than one post at a time, saving much time for all of us that deal with multiple posts. You simply click the Multi-Quote button and it changes colour. Once you have selected all the posts you would like to quote, hit the Add Reply button and you're away! Please also note that the order you click the quote buttons in will relate directly to the order the quotes will appear in your reply box.
2) Quote Tags Link to Quoted Post - Once you do make those multiple quotes - or even a single quote - the result is that there will be a small button linking you to where the post you were quoting from is. Nifty if you want to read something in context.
3) Mark Forums Read with AJAX - This one's relatively simple. If a forum has new posts in it but you want to mark the forum as read from the forums index, just double click on the forum icon and you're sorted. No reloading of the page required! Ah, the wonders of AJAX (the programming code, not the cleaning fluid)!
4) Auto-Resize Oversized Image Attachments - No more problems of oversized image attachments now! All images that are of a whopping size will now be automatically resized by the forums, saving you a fair bit of time and effort. Hooray for efficiency (and/or laziness)!
5) Pop Up List of Attachments in a Thread - Can't be bothered digging through hundreds of posts looking for that one attachment you saw earlier that day? Simple! Click on the little paperclip on the forum page - it should be to the right of the thread title. This will bring up a list of the attached files in the thread. Find your desired attachment and click on it. Tada!
6) ‘Reason for Editing’ Available on Quick Edit - You know how you can edit without having to load a new page? If not, well, it's simple - make sure the page you're looking at is fully loaded and then go to edit your post. It should now open up a little edit box in place of your post without loading any new pages! And now, this little box will come with a 'Reason for Editing' field which previously was not available in quick edits. Handy if, well, you want to try to come up with some kind of excuse for the fact that you ****ed up a post.
7) Unique Unsubscribe Link in Emails - Wow, people still subscribe via email? Use the User CP + no email subscription facilities, people! Anyway, if you DO still go ahead with the ol' email thing, then you'll now have the option to unsubscribe to threads you're getting subscription emails from. Good for you.
8) Improved Proxy Support in Session Handling - Remember the days when you went to EoFF and every time you loaded a new page, you'd have logged out? Well, those days are now slightly less likely to come about! If you still have this problem, I'm sorry. Get a new ISP.
9) Show Threads or Posts from Quick Search Popup - Now when you do a forum-wide search using the little drop-down menu that appears when you click on 'Search' in the navbar under the banner, you can choose whether the results will appear as threads or as posts. I really could have let you lot figure that one out on your own, though, I suppose.
10) Ability to sort a forum by thread creation time by default - I wasn't going to mention this at first but I figure, hey, some of you might actually find this nifty. You can now go to the bottom of a forum and under the sorting options you can select 'Thread Start Time', allowing you to see the threads in the order they were created in.
11) Private Message Preview in Notification Emails - For those of you who receive an email every time you get a Private Message, the email will now have a little preview of what your PM is about in the email.
12) Receive Private Messages from Buddies Only - See, this is an amazing revelation purely because it means there is some kind of POINT to having the buddy list. Now you can set it so that only people on this list can PM you! This option is found in Edit Options inside the User CP. You can't block out the Admins or Cid's Knights, but you can at least narrow it down so that you'll never get a random PM from someone you don't know advertising some other forum you don't care about.
13) Private Messages: Quota Warning - I remember what it was like when you ran out of PM space and only found out too late, meaning you had to go and sort out your PMs before PM'ing whatever member tried unsuccessfully to get through to you just to have your PM box full AGAIN by the time they get back to you... vBulletin came up with the solution of setting an email to go to the user not when the PM box is FULL, but when it's ALMOST full. And that's just dandy.
14) Full BCC Support in Private Messages - This is great for me because I sometimes want people to know who else got my PM. Anyway, if you send a PM to more than one person, you can now decide on whether or not the people you're sending it to can know who else will be getting the same PM. Don't want them to know about each other? Then just click on the little [BCC] bit and put 'em in the BCC box.
