The new message board has a number of nice improvements to functionality, especially for mobile users. But I have also been enjoying some of the features whose primary purpose seems to be purely entertainment/engagement.
For example, viewing a poster's profile tells you where they were "last seen" and when. What a fantastic stalking tool! So even though Bradt hasn't posted since 33,333, you can see that he has been on the board on a daily basis.
I also enjoy the "Notable Member" pages. When I first viewed this, I was very surprised to see that there were posters with higher post counts than Bradt. He really needs to pick-up the pace. TUNDRA and -arw- also made that list. The "Likes" tab is amusing. opie, you've got some serious work to do.
I found the "Staff Member" tab a bit confusing. Are MJH, Trickle and MOC not staff members?
The new format has been annoying for some folks, but overall, I see it as a welcome improvement.
