    this thread is for people to tell the other members about a cool new feature they found and how it works.

    this thread is for documenting the features only, so please dont post new feature requests or bugs etc., rather start a new thread specifically for that.

    a cool new feature is moods!

    if you click on your mood chooser, under your profile, in your profile block, you can let the other members know how you are feeling.

    Hovering your mouse over the Anubias up top will reveal the APSA Fert Calculator, Volume Calculator and link to APSA's Annual Aquatic Plant Competition.

    When creating a new topic, a list of similar threads come up (in the forum category you are in). This helps with duplicate or similar topics being created all the time.
    Suggestion 1.JPG

    Another awesome one is, at the bottom of each thread, a list of similar threads is shown too (for interest sake)

    live update on your conversation (PM) browser addon is installed.

    This allows your opened conversation to be updated automatically when someone replies to your convo.

    we have added two new smilies, to try and diffuse situations we have had in the past, where members have taken other members comments as personal attacks etc. and these have escalated into flame warms.. :flame:

    so if your post is supposed to be sarcastic and you know it, and its all in good fun, then please use one of the new smilies, as it is very hard to gauge someones tone from some text on a forum..

    :S or :sarcasm:

    if you know of any other smilies we are missing, please pm me your ideas..
