Listed below are some of the standout features of the new forums. Feel free to use this thread to discuss them.
Mobile & desktop friendly:


Users may view the forum natively via desktop or mobile, without the need for a third party app such as Tapatalk.
Social login:

Users can now use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to login.
In-depth notifications:

Notifications presented in a similar fashion to popular social media sites. A more modern approach at staying up to date.
@ Mentioning

Using the @ symbol and then typing in a user will allow members to mention other members, thus notifying them.
Trophies:

Users are rewarded trophies for various activities on the forums. This in no way affects your user standing and is just a fun feature. Collect em' all!
Attachements:

Users can upload attachments to threads and replies, instead of having to host remotely. They can be presented in the thread full size (100%) or as thumbnails. 20 attachments per post are currently allowed at the time of writing.
Drafts:

Threads can now be saved as drafts. Great for large topic creation.
User cards:

Hovering over a user will now display their user card which is a condensed profile. Click their name to view their full profile.
DM's:

Direct messaging can include multiple users and can easily be found under "Inbox."
About Me:

User details such as their social media and gaming handles are viewable under the "About" section of a users profile.
Speed:
General performance is said to be roughly 2-3x quicker than phpBB. The forum is more lightweight and our database is fresh for the first time in over a decade.
