Image upload
Now you can click the image icon and choose the files to be uploaded, or simply drag-and-drop your chosen pictures onto the text area.
Behind the scenes we use XMLHttpRequest 2 with ability to upload multiple images and send them to the server with AJAX. This works on all browsers including IE10. In IE9 the image upload button is simply not present.
Title row
The moot title row insertion in the text area has been frequently mentioned by forum owners and users alike, and we've acknowledged ourselves it needed improving — thus, we're proud to present the all new title row area. With a clearer separating line, it should now encourage people to write more descriptive titles for their posts.
Load oldest/newest replies
Long threads with dozens of hidden posts are now easier to navigate: you can expand the thread from the beginning or the end if there are more than 27 hidden posts.
