PBv5 has a ton of new features that they've added.  It really is completely different software from v4, for better or for worse.  Let's try to compile a list here of our favorite new features.  (I'm going to personally stick to ones that every user can use, but that's up to you guys.)


I'll post my three favorites so far:
1) You can tag people using @ + their username... so, like this: hai

2) No more timezone adjustments.  It uses your computer's time instead. =o

3) Liking posts.  Much better alternative than Karma since it's only positively enforced.


What're your favorites?

Yay V5!

- Selecting multiple posts to quote
- Drafts, such as typing something in quick reply and then clicking "reply" to continue editing using UBBC
- labels... not often used, but I still think is is sweet as heck (I do use them often).

- Action Bar is actually something I really like and find useful. You guys have removed it so now it's strange lol.
- I rather like the navigation tree, too.


Then the stuff you guys have listed also.

The action bar being when the top bar follows you down the page?  It just didn't work with this skin sadly.  I can probably add it back for you if you want it though.

Yeah the action bar is the bit with the page numbers, action drop down, search.
It actually was very handy to have. It's no biggy. It's only really an issue if you need to select a different page often or what have you.

It's rare to have to switch the page in the middle of the thread though, right?  That's why the controls are available at the bottom and top in v1.

If it's a thread you've read before, or you just need to go back to a specific post, but yeah it is rare :P

I guess I'll just hop in here to say I like pretty much everything that's happened and will most likely continue to happen. Everything has a fresher feel to it. It looks nice, and it seems a lot more functionally smart than the old version.
Signature coming~

Your lack of favorites disturbs me.

On an active forum, I'm starting to dislike thread notifications... so the ability to disable them on a per-user basis is nice. :)
