The admins and mods will all discuss what features we will and will not turn on or enable once IB has finished everything they need to do to get the site all configured on their end working and any bugs and such that pop up are corrected.

I think Pilot pretty much summed that up. Still, the admins and mods will be making their decision based on what they think is best for the community as a whole, not what they like / disslike. If they decide that it would make everyone happy to be able to have avatars, we'll turn them on and allow you to upload them. The issues in the past that discouraged that should no longer be issues.

The 'browser toolbar icon' seems to have disappeared.
It used to be a little DVDTalk logo and now it's just a folder looking thing (actually I'm not sure what it is). The logo graphic used to show up in the FireFox tabs also.
Kudos on the 'Post Quick Reply' without the full page reload

Since you appear to be from IB, what's going on with the ads inside of posts? Are they staying, or going away?
*Edit - nevermind, it appears from the other post that it's only effecting people who aren't logged in. For some reason, it keeps making me login, and will not remember my password for the site or keep me logged in. Grrrr...

That's what it's doing to me. If I log in, I'll stay logged in for that session, but as soon as I navigate away, it's as if the session expires, and when I return, I have to log in again.

I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later, but did anything change with browser inactivity marking threads read?
The quick reply and editing changes are very nice.

We can change this setting, but it increases server load and slows page load times. It might be troublesome on a board this large. I'll run it by the moderators.

I'm kinda missing the "Mark Forums Read" link in the blue border on the bottom of the "Search Results" page..

I like seeing the post counts, and would also be in favor of small avatars. I use Jar Jar Binks in another forum (non SW amusingly enough) and I like being able to find my posts when quickly dragging the scroll bar up and down.

I'm quite shocked about the amount of support for the post count. One thing in visiting other forums that always seemed juvenile to me was the visible post count. I won't mince words, I always thought DVDtalk was above that. The label for each user already gives you an idea of what their post count is anyways.
