With read-tracking, you can keep up with which entries you've already read using
icons. In the Forum view, you can see which threads contain new entries since the
last time you logged in.
A special icon indicates when you posted a question soliciting an answer. When others
post answers, you can indicate whether a response is correct, so everyone knows at a
glance whether a question still needs to be answered.
The My Forum Settings view lets you see at a glance only the forum entries you
submitted, so you can watch your entries more easily.
In the Thread view, you can see in one place the currently most popular threads. In
the Category view, you can see in one place the currently most popular forums. And you
can set up an RSS feed on the most popular items. This way, you can better manage your forum activity.
You can watch forums at the category level so you won't miss new forums about the
topics you're most interested in.
The forums now enable you to send private messages to other posters. And, you can
see how many private messages are waiting for you from others.
You can save drafts of threads either manually or with the built-in autosave
function. That way, if you reboot while composing a posting, you are prompted to pick
up where you left off when you return to the thread.
You can attach multiple files to an entry, up to 5 MB total.
