What are your favorite features of the new forum?

[Forest]

I think my favorite is the "What's new" item in the menu bar. I don't click the down triangle; I just click on the heading itself:

It's amazing! I love how it features profile posts, threads, and forums all at once.

Have others found features that they especially like?

Advanced search for me! When I tested it on the testing site, I loved it at first sight and couldn't wait for the release of the new site! Thank you for your hard work, Forest! It looks nicer and is overall a more pleasant experience!

I like the "what's new" lightning bolt on the menu bar, next to the bell symbol for my notifications.

And I just discovered a cool new feature in the main drop-down menu, which is to list "Unanswered Threads" - eg: threads with no responses yet. I expect that a number of senior responders will want to make use of that.

I also like the ability for staff to highlight a thread under Featured Content.

I just found the "unanswered threads" section and really like it. It helps me focus my efforts on responding to people who are new here and may need some encouragement.

I like that the email notifications preview the text of the post or the direct message.

Now that you mention it, me too!
