Mentions

You can finally mention people in your articles, comments, forum posts. So, if I type @btcfork - that should potentially trigger a notification to @btcfork. (You don't need to make it bold or something)

The same thing works in comments and forums - just type @username and that user will be pinged. Funny thing is that if somebody ever uses 'username' as his username - he might eventually get a notification about this article :)

Unread comments count

Yes, finally, you can see how many new comments are there for an article that you have previously visited.

Highlighting new comments

When you visit an article that you have previously visited - new comments would be highlighted now, which is very useful. Don't like it? Hit refresh :) Or annoy us in the forum to add a preference to turn this off.

Sorting comments

Yep, you can now sort the comments - using default threaded view...

...or a flat view using "newest on top" or "most upvoted on top".

Subscribe to all comments

You can now subscribe to get updates whenever a new comment activity is there in the article. You'll actually get only one notification about the activity and you won't get another one unless you actually visit the article again (to prevent you from avalanche of notifications on popular articles). And to spare our database, which has to remember all these.

Just click the blue bell icon.

Search your comments and articles

You can now search only your comments or articles:

Forum updates

We've also added the same bell icons to the forums, so you can subscribe to get notifications about new posts, replies and threads.

It's a bit confusing to have two bells:

...but frankly having an eye icon was pretty freaky:

It's almost like it looks directly into your soul.

So, we've added a bunch of good stuff and probably quite a few bugs in the process. If something doesn't work - just ping us in the forum.

Have fun!
