The ability to go in and edit posts that are several months old is high on the list of features I love.
I have no personal use for it, as such, but people who have made guides where the formatting where screwed up by the move now has a chance to make them look nice again, WITHOUT having to bother the mods and admins.
Most wanted feature: More skins!
Edit: Doh! I see now that synthozoic beat me to it.

Not to be snarky but this is something their graphic designers should've caught in the first 10 minutes of skinning the new forums. It's really web design 101.

I like being able to add the images to signature lines. I just hope they implement a restriction to the size of the images before it gets crazy.
I also like the reputation feature. Gotta love a little forum PvP.

While you could post certain search results before, you can just copy the URL at the top and post the search page itself. Even put it in, say, signatures. >.>

According to the FAQ, the tag link text is supposed to change size depending on how much that tag is used throughout the forum, but I haven't noticed them being different sizes, even ones that have already been used a few times.

I'm excited that replying to a message opens up a REAL text editing space, instead of a postage-stamp sized quadrant requiring constant and annoying scrolling for any post longer than a couple of lines.

Also this bit of information would've been handier several years ago. =P

I didn't know that either; rather too late now. I also like the better editing tools ( if you set it to Standard ).|

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Also, <3 multiquote & sig pics. If I don't like the pic, I adblock it & will never have to see it again
