Here are some things that we got with the new software update, and what we lost:
We got:
Multiple language Interface! Now you can use the forum in Chinese, English, Japanese, Hebrew, Finnish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Swedish.
There's supposedly more security now and there are some more admin options that I can use to keep the riffraff out.
As you can see, the interface is different (though I had to stay up late to code up a new theme since 1.1.14 themes don't seem to be compatible with 2.0)
The ability to use newer plugins and mods, which I will be experimenting with. Things like games and the like, are probably gonna be possible now.
We lost:
-Member Awards (at least for now, until the Mod I was using comes up with a 2.0 version)
-AJAX Quick Reply (so now the page won't auto-refresh when you use quick reply; no big deal)
-Some AntiSpam Mods (will have to see what I can do about that)
-the eNotify Notifications (which most of us disliked and I'm glad it got uninstalled).
-the Spoiler Tag. I'm looking into finding a replacement mod that'll implement this again.
