Goats Forums 2.0

If you haven't checked out our forums before, now would be a great time to do so. We've (and by we, I mean Phillip) made some significant improvements to the features, and gave it a spiffy new look. Here's what you can expect:

• Read/Unread: The forums now keep track of which posts you've already seen, and which ones are new for you. Discussions and Forums with new posts have a little red triangle to the left of 'em, and the ones you're caught up on have a gray triangle. When you're inside a discussion, new posts get flagged with a red header for easy identification.
• Avatars and Locations: Registered users can now display an avatar next to their posts, and can also display their location.
• Meta Info: You can now find out how long a user has been registered on the site, how many forum posts they've made, and see their user level (based on Karma).
• Improved Viewing Options: The default mode for the forums is now Flat, to encourage more ongoing discussion. Flat view also now displays posts in the proper order, and includes handy links to the post to which the reply references. Longer flat threads can be split up into multiple pages for quicker loading; you can even set how many comments appear per page. Threaded view is still available, and is still super-funky.
• More Prettiness: Smooth yet nefarious buttons make it easier to reply, start new discussions, and check out your fellow forumites.
• More Sporkle: There is now more Sporkle in the forums.

I think that covers just about everything. Questions? Comments? Let us know below.
