The forum software has had an upgrade. This version is only a release candidate (which means it's not the final final version), but the thing was there and so was I, so here we are. So to speak.
Most of the changes are moderator, admin and performance related, but you filthy commoners will also notice some changes and/or new things:
Unregistered/Unconfirmed
Can read all public forums, can't really do anything else.
Registered
Can read and post in all public forums, 30 minute post editing time limit.
Registered Users With Posts (two or more posts)
All Registered user permissions, can edit profile, can @tag users in posts (limit of 2 per post), 60 minute post editing time limit, can use private messaging (messages limited to five recipients) and make profile posts.
50+ Posts
All of the above, can @tag users in posts (limit of 5 per post), can add a signature.
500+ Posts
All of the above, can add custom user title, 24 hour post editing time limit (to allow for "morning after" edits).

- New message editor interface
- Message editor saves what you've typed every 60 seconds (no more lost posts)
- Quote height is now limited, so you have to click to read long quotes
- You can "watch" forums and get notifications when there's a new post
- Responsive theme for tablets and phones (click the "Bukowski" link at the bottom left corner and choose "mobile")
- If you type @ plus the username you can make a link to the user in your post and notify them that you mentioned them
