Hello everyone!
Today we performed a long overdue upgrade of the forum to a newer version. The first thing you'll notice is that it has a responsive layout, which is a welcome improvement. The NSM Panel has also undergone a facelift as well as some major under-the-hood changes which will make it possible to push out updates and new features more easily in the future. A big thanks to @cacabish for helping out!
Here is a summary of the new features and other things you might need to know:
I think that's all the important stuff. Let me know if you have any questions or if any issues arise.

Today we performed a long overdue upgrade of the forum to a newer version. The first thing you'll notice is that it has a responsive layout, which is a welcome improvement.

Here is a summary of the new features and other things you might need to know:
- Your profile is now accessed via the little picture in the top left corner. Next to that is the icon for PMs and then the bell for notifications, which can be received for various things (eg topics, replies, mentions, etc). Settings are in their respective popups.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) can be enabled in the "Account Settings" page in the profile menu.
- You can now @ mention other users! If you are @ mentioned, you'll receive a notification.
- Drafts are enabled for posts and will autosave every 30 seconds. No more lost posts! Drafts are also enabled for PMs but you'll need to manually save those with the "Save Draft" button.
- If you prefer, WYSIWYG mode for posting can be activated via the "Look and Layout" profile settings page.
- Everyone's timezone has been reset, so you will need to go into your profile and update it. The good news is that it now takes care of daylight savings time automatically.
- I know the staff badges are missing. I'll sort it out tomorrow.
I think that's all the important stuff. Let me know if you have any questions or if any issues arise.
