I'll go first... here's a few:

- the hour meter at the top of the screens that tells you your cumulative time wasted...er... on-line
- the comprehensive text editor with tables, subscripts, colours, etc
- the "report a post to the moderator" button, so Tyler and I don't have to read every single line ;)

Forgot my new favorite... "Search" now defaults to "search for ALL words" rather than "search for ANY old word".   ;) ;) ;)

The graph in your profile stats is pretty neat. Shows you what times you usually post. Rack another up for the 2 o'clocker! :)  :-*

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically mark threads as read when you leave the site so that next time you come back the threads that had new posts before aren't marked as new?

I mean the way it used to be. Change is tough. :P

You have a good point Andrew, I think that this part ( lock and delete ) might be let to the mods to avoid an abuse
of it...

Down it the bottom of the main page there's a button to see who's online, what they're looking at and it says if they're posting, it's kinda neat.

Thumbs up on the new look :D
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
