New Forum Features
As some of you may have noticed, over the past few weeks several new features have popped up in the message forums. First and foremost is a brand new Favorites section. It's now possible to add up to 60 favorite or important threads, from any of our forums, to a special personalized list. When viewed on the special page you'll get enhanced thread-specific information, such as how many posts you’ve made, when your last post was, how many replies have been made since you last post, total number of views and more. Be sure to check it out – look for the “Add to Favorites” link near the bottom of each thread!

Other new features include the ability to find recent posts by a particular author (located on the author’s “Profile” page), improved index and page linking, quick-copy links next to each message, plus several other behind-the-scenes changes. Remember, many of Remote Central’s current forum features have been implemented due to specific user requests – if you want to see something in particular, be sure to let us know!
