Okay - the upgrade is complete! :D
Aside from the plethora of little bug fixes and new stuff for the administrative side of the house, here are some of the new things that you guys will no doubt notice:
The forums should be a bit faster - most of the speed increase will come later this week/next week with the new high speed lines ...
In My WC!, subscribed thread manager - allows you to prune thread subscriptions - useful for keeping email-sending loads under control
Ignored users are now shown in threads with a clickable place holder that will bring up their posts when clicked
Who's online - now you can see who is online, and what threads they are reading - lol - to view this, you can simply click on the "Currently Active Users" text on the main forums page, or see below ...
In the "forum jump" box that is at the bottom of every thread/post, there are now easy links for jumping to your control panel (My WC!), private messages, who's online, etc.
You can now "mark" a forum as being "read", or all forums as being read
When viewing the list of threads in a forum, you can now click on the "number of posts" in the thread. This will pop-up a nifty little table telling you how many posts each member has made in that thread. :D
Multiple choice polls. :) When posting a new poll, you can choose whether or not to allow members to select more than one answer.
You can now give a thread a rating on the reply form - saving you a few mouse clicks
You can now see who is browsing the forum as you. :)
Some other little stuff ...
Now - progress comes at a price (lol). A number of things are now broken - for example, logging into the project system, reference library, and other tools will not work right now. The stars aren't working either. I hope to have these things resolved over the next day or so.
There may be some other lingering problems - if you run into anything weird, just post it here so I can keep all the reports in one place ...
