| Changes in vB3 I can't post every single change, but here are the larger ones. Global changes
~ Skin changer available at the bottom of the page.
~ New 'toolbar' which provides easy access to important functions.
~ PM information is now on top-left for easier access.
~ Forum information took its place, and is slightly reworked for graphical reasons.
~ Drop-down menus on Search and Quick Links. Also, this function applies everywhere.
~ 'Today' and 'Yesterday' in lieu of the actual date itself.
~ IM functions - you can now add AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and ICQ contacts automatically if you click one of these buttons. Note that the program has to be installed.
~ The 'old' way of bypassing the swearing filter is now fixed. Now, there are new ways. Do not do so. Forum index (index.php)
~ The last post is now more intuitive, with the thread also entered.
~ Loads faster across 56k, believe it or not. Forum page (forumdisplay.php)
~ Forum Tools now on top-left in place of bottom-centre, again as a drop-down menu.
~ Search function as above.
~ Thread creator is now below the thread name.
~ New posts in a thread make the thread name bold.
~ Display Options reworked.
~ Active users and moderators demoted to the lower area, the point of lesser focus. Thread page (showthread.php)
~ Moderators: Thread Options now on toolbar in Thread Tools. Now includes a Remove Redirects function.
~ Quick thread search as forumdisplay.php
~ Display modes, Hybrid and Threaded introduced. Hybrid allows you to see points of posts being quoted so that you can check how a thread evolves. Threaded is like Hybrid except it displays a post at a time.
~ Link with number on each post for linking.
~ IM functions below profile.
~ Quick Quote function (virtually unknown): - Click, and check 'Quote message in reply?' to make an instant quote, albeit not shown in the textarea.
~ Currently active users in box below thread.
~ Quick Reply box can be hidden.
~ Clicking a name makes a drop-down with more options. Profile page (profile.php)
~ Extreme revamp of layout, as you can see.
~ Signature also shown.
~ IM functions in Contact Info.
~ Additional Information shows more information, including the Game and Tournament hack information if applicable.
~ Group Memberships, ignore. Member list (memberlist.php)
~ No more Top 25 posters. You now can sort by field name by clicking the link above the field. User CP (usercp.php)
~ Total layout revamp.
~ More divisions for more things, such as avatar no longer in Edit Options.
~ PM function enhanced beyond belief, though you will need many PMs to see this. New Thread page (newthread.php)
~ Moderators: Close and Sticky after posting functions now available. Edit Post page (editpost.php)
~ Reason for editing now available for clarification.
***
Got any more things? PM Sicloan or myself while my reign lasts.
