With Fall comes change, and now that everyone knows that change is blowing in the wind for the SnoWest Forums, I thought I would offer everyone a little more insight into some of the goodies you can be looking forward in the future....
NOTE:
What you see will take some time to get installed.
Likely we are talking MONTHS here, just so you understand the time frame. My goal is to have all of this up and running THIS YEAR though. So there should be a nice steady trickle of new features coming into SnoWest week after week as the upgrade to the forums progresses.
Also note, that the order I have listed these is NOT indicative of how I will get them installed. This is my MASTER list as of TODAY. And you can count on it CHANGING over time!!

- Thread highlighting based on the forum the thread belongs to (Now Implemented)
