Forum Additions:

I will provide a list of all new updates I have made to the forums here.
Please feel free to add your own ideas for things you might find useful.

- Posting Activity Tracker (colorful bar in your mini-profile indicating how often you post)

- Notifications in browser (you will see a (1) at the top of the tab for the website when you have pending notifications)

- Remodeled quotations (quote anyone and you'll see)

- Collapsing categories (click any of the boards titles and they will collapse making a smaller area to scan)
