A Few Usability Enhancements

We have made a few usability enhancements to the forum over the last few days.

My Profile Pages

The navigation panel on the left of your control panel is now laid out in a more logical fashion. All your PM folders and subscribed thread folders are displayed hierarchically providing one-click access to any one of them. Additionally, the number of latest Karma messages has been increased to 20. 

Notification of another post while you are replying

If you are in the middle of a thread and someone replies to that thread before you have hit the submit button, you often need to edit your post to take that reply into account. This new feature will notify you of the other post before your post is added. You can then review the new reply right there on the same page before you hit submit.

If you prefer not to have the feature enabled, you can turn it off by visiting your options page. under 'Messaging & Notification' => 'Reply Check While Composing Message'.

PM Reply To All

You will notice a new 'Reply All' button when composing PM replies. This acts just like the reply to all feature in most email clients and will address the PM to all recipients included in the original.
