A couple quick notes regarding features

Aside from performance tweaks, database modifications, etc, here's a quick rundown of some of the new stuff you might encounter.

More colors
Support for the entire range of colors is now available. There isn't anything built into the editor yet. In the meantime, to use the new color tags, use the following tags, replacing the #99000 with your desired color: {color=#990000}#990000{/color}
(replace the { } with [ ] brackets -- { } used for explanation)

#990000
#880000
#770000
#660000
#550000

More smilies
When you post a new topic or reply to a post, you'll have access to more smilies. Underneath the standard 20 smilies, there's a link which reads "Show Entire Smilie List". Clicking on it will display the complete list of smilies supported on this board.

Folder Tree
At the bottom of the page, you'll see a modified folder tree. It's the same list as you'll find on the top, but without the stepped format with the folder icons.

Forum/Server Time
The current server time is now displayed at the bottom of most pages.

Newsletters
You can now add/remove yourself from the FineScale Newsletter by updating your profile.

Delete your account
I don't know why anyone would want to, but there is now an option to delete your account.

and more...
There's more, but my brain needs a break.
