Visually, you are not going to see a difference, from the upgrade. The forums are still the same except for the modifications I made to the code that moves all the forums together again rather than having each category spaced. While that looks good, it is merely uneeded code that doesnt help up in terms of getting seen in search engines over time.
Uploading pictures should be easier. In many cases, larger pictures will now automatically resize to an allowable size on the site, rather than just giving you an error.
You have the ability to quote multiple posts now. ( you will notice a new quote button being introduced in the posts).
Improved buddy list - While not really important now, in time as we grow, the who's online feature will most likely be disabled. The Buddy List allows you to see which of your "buddies" are online. It is also a very convenient way to send PM's to those you PM frequently.
Rating Threads - You can now rate threads easier (for those that do this). Instead of a complete page load, it is done much quicker.
Improved Search - Still a lacking feature as far as I am concerned but at least they have improved it.
Improved Editor - posting messages should be smoother and easier.
Overall, the majority of the upgrades in this new version deal with the backend which while you dont notice it in looks, it will make things run smoother and faster, with less errors.
