We are now on the new board version for some weeks and are pretty much finished with our customization. I've almost completely forgotten what the old board looked like by now and personally love the new board look&Feel and it's new features.

Some of my favorites are:

1/ Integration with social media, making it very easy to share a topic from Eurobricks with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

2/ Tags allowing you to find similar topics all over the board. A powerful feature over time once it's well populated.

And there are others like the Rich Text Editor allowing you to post the URL of a youtube video and it will automatically embed, the quick navigation tab, the improved Profile Feed where one can directly reply to comments, etc.

Our regulator Darkdragon has made a Visual User Guide to help you get started.

While Eurobricks was down, I started an impromptu contest on Flickr, for people to express

how they were handling the outage. The rules were basically to create an 8x8 vig

portraying how they were handling the situation.
