With the new software in place, there is a lot of small to large changes that have been put in to the forums. For the past week I've been beta testing the new forum software and everything has been going quite well I decided in moving the upgrade schedule to early in the morning today. Going to go over some of the new shiny that's here for you 
Here's a short video from the dev's explaining more about this new feature.
Clicking on the three dots to the lower right of each entry will bring up a new tooltip where you can interact with this entry. You can comment directly to it and even click like.
You can decide if you wish to have this indicator on your account or not via your preferences, I'll explain more in detail with a following How To: thread.
- New Poll Options - Previously poll options were limiting, polls are no longer limited to one or multiple choices. The creator can now control exactly how many responses a user can select. If they select the maximum amount, the other options will automatically disable to indicate this. Voters can now change their votes, if the option is selected. Poll results can be limited to only be viewed by people that have voted.
- New ways to Quoting and Replying to posts - with the upgrade you have this nice handy feature to quickly reply, quote to and/or multi-quote a selection of text within and across threads and posts.
- Profile Posts - Profile posts have been here from the beginning but have been somewhat buried within a member's profile. Now there is a new way for member interaction that brings these posts more to the forefront.
- Online Indicator - A small QoL improvement is a small online indicator that shows when that particular member is online.
- Bulk Watch Threads Management - You can now quickly disable all email notifications or stop watching all threads from the watched threads list.
- Anti-Spam Improvements - With the upgrade, there are many more options and solutions set in place to combat the registration of spammers.
