With the upgrade to the latest version, the forums now have the following new features:
Bookmarks
When viewing a discussion, you can now bookmark (big button in the right sidebar) the discussion. Bookmarked discussions will show up in the new Bookmarks
item in the left sidebar in the main page.
NOTE: Bookmarking will not give you notifications - for that you can just follow the discussion as well.
As new information, tutorials, user guides, and other useful information starts collecting on the forums, you may want to remember some threads for future reference. The bookmarks will help do that without cluttering up the discussions you follow.
Nicknames
Now you can choose to show a nickname instead of your username. Just edit your profile to see the Edit Nickname
option. Your username will remain the same, but you can now show a nickname, or your actual name.
