Welcome to the Upgraded Morning Big Blue!

The software that runs the site had a major re-write that was released earlier this year.  They basically rewrote everything from the ground up and I was waiting for the off season to upgrade.  This also means that old themes and plugins will no longer work with the new software.  Look for the looks and feel of the site to change as well as some new plugins to be added over the next little while.

For those of you that changed your display name from your login name, your display name is now used to login (or the email you registered with).  Display names can still be changed.

Here are a few new features you might find interesting / useful:

• Use the @ sign in a post to reference a specific member (typing @ and start typing their name and a filtered list will display.  In posts, these look like this:  @Mike  
• Check out the new profiles and timelines and activity streams as well as the ability to follow specific members. Customize the streams to see posts and information how you want
• Quote partial text - highlight text in any post and a popup will show up to allow you to quote it
• Hover on a thread link and the first and last post will be displayed
• New editor and the ability to drag and drop media
• Send messages to other members now without leaving a screen in the forum 

Look for more  additions over the next little while as I start adding other enhancements in.  As always, let me know if you are having any problems.

Account settings have now been fixed.  

Just noticed that now .. easily looped in my twitter account as well.  Thanks Rich.

Discovered my new favourite thing last night. While using the mobile version, you now have the option of marking each individual forum "As Read", rather than having to mark the entire site as read. I love the option on the desktop version and had always wanted it for Mobile...so stoked that it now exists!

very cool revamp.  loving it Rich, good job!

Looks great. Will take a little getting used to but overall I dig what I'm seeing.

Everything seems to be working great here with Chromium/Linux on the notebook.

Where did everything go the last few days??

excellent job Rich - love the look and feel.

Hey Rich, is there a toggle to show what poster "liked" a post or was it determined to keep it anonymous?

I still see occasional drops of my session and have to re-login. 

This one is still on my watch list.
