Over the past month or so I've been working on getting us ready for a software upgrade here, which is much sleeker and has improved performance and stability over the current version. Some additional features will include some cool things like a "Quick Thread" prompt to make it faster to start a thread, a "What's New" page to show the latest posts, enhanced media embedding to improve the current plugin that handles that, and a better overall interface that makes it quicker to post, reply, etc. along with better readability.
It's been a little tedious because I've had to start over again with our own customizations, which go well above what is out of the box in order to give people the type of controls over their experiences here that I felt were important. As I did the first time, I came up with some subtle changes that I'm planning on making to streamline things further and fixing some things that I never quite got perfect, but wanted to reach out to get a feel for any suggestions, requests, etc. to see if I can help make things a little better here. Hoping to wrap this up over the weekend and the goal is to potentially switch things out next week, but let me know your thoughts and I definitely appreciate any feedback anyone would like to offer here.
