2) A Quick Reply editor to respond to PM's (private messages) - a bit like the quick reply to posts. Once you open the PM you will see a box at the bottom where you can type your reply and then submit.
3) Private Messages Enhanced Listing - the first 200 characters of the PM are shown underneath it so you may not need to open it up to read it.
4) Personal Notepad in your UserCP - add notes about posts you want to remember, members you talk to etc.
5) Forum-wide Search For Unanswered Threads - allows you to find threads that have no replies so you can reply if you would like to. Makes members feel more welcome if they at least receive one reply to their post.
This is accessed by clicking on "Search" on the forum navigation bar and selecting the option "Unanswered threads"

6) View your own Posts/Threads from Navigation bar "Search". A much easier way to find your own posts.

7) Separate Sticky and Normal Threads - shows sticky threads more prominently in forums.
8) The memberlist is now sorted by "last visited" rather than alphabetically.
9) My Popular Threads - view your most popular threads by reply count. These are shown on your UserCP.
10) Added "Search titles only" check box to search popup menu. Previously you had to use advanced search for this option. Now you can do it from clicking on "Search".
