There are several new features...and even more coming. However, one of the features that I think people will get great use of is the new chat feature. It is tied in with the upgraded software and you don't have to login. There's a "Who Chatting" legend at the bottom so you can all see when people are in the chat room. You must be logged in to use chat, but it is open to everyone.

Also in this upgrade is the Status Updates box to the right of the forums. This is meant to be more like a FaceBook Status, but many people/websites use it a little more like a shoutbox.

Another huge feature is the updated conversation system, as apposed to the PM system. The PM system still exists, and you can use it normally, but the way it is viewed is more like a forum thread and you can invite others into the conversation at the beginning or midway thru a PM discussion. Extremely handy and a very welcomed upgrade.

Here's a few more upgrades:

Added a Profile field that you can update to include you Tank, size, and type. It's viewable to the left your avatar in every post.
