I recently updated the forum software, which has a couple of new features.
First, the Editor is completely new. It is designed to be more WYSIWYG and to work better across more browsers. It also adds an "auto save" function whereby it will periodically save what you've been typing. Have you ever been typing a long post only to have your browser crash, or you accidentally press the wrong key and wipe out your message? Now whatever you type can be restored when you go back to the editor. A "Restore Auto-Saved Text" button will appear to allow you to get back what you typed.
Next, there is more integration now with Facebook. Now, if you click the "Connect to FB" at the top of the page to the left of where you log in, you can interact with your Facebook account. You can "Like" posts on the forum and they will appear on your wall. When you make a post or comment, you can check "Publish to Facebook" and a link to the post or comment will appear on your wall.
As always, if anyone has any questions or is having problems with any of the new features (or old ones), post a new thread in the Site Support forum and I'll answer it.
Cheers!
