Someone suggested a post listing all the new and nifty features we have over here. I thought I could help out with that, so I made this list.

General

Full Unicode support! User names, NBs, posts etc. can now be in other alphabets than the latin one (I don't think Klingon will work though).
Improved password recovery functionality: The password recovery form can now also find you all the user names tied to an email account, or the email address registered for an account, in addition to resetting the password (it'll always have to reset if you forget your password because it is no longer stored in plain text).

Message boards

Different quote styles: The little boxes to the right of the link to smiley codes lets you choose between quoting each paragraph or the whole post at once. Remember to change this before you write a whole essay because it erases anything you've changed.
Quoting in several levels: Now quotes can also contain a link to the quoted post, and you can keep the quotes from within the post you're replying to as well. Please don't abuse this and make too large quote pyramids, four or five levels of quoting ought to be enough for anyone.
Improved editing: There's now a preview when you edit a post, and you can change whether you want to receive email notification for any replies.
Admins can move posts between boards instead of deleting them and having the user re-post.
Threading that (should) work in all modern browsers

Noteboards

Reply to all: This means you can also see who else received a NB sent to several people at one.
Previews: Do I need to say any more?

Planned but not yet implemented

Time zone, time and date display as an option
Various things still missing (quote of the moment, social networking page, directory, sig gallery, help, stats etc.). If it's a bit of text (like the help, for example), feel free to write something and file it as a ticket of the "Text" type under Bugs & suggestions.
Locks and deletions will trigger a NB/email to the poster with a reason for the action.
Email notification for new noteboards
