What's New In This Release?
Primary Focus Of Release

User-Facing

Modifications to Facebook Connect experience: users with their Facebook accounts linked now have the option to publish their forum posts and reviews without being prompted in a popover. Allowing additional site access to Facebook allows users to take advantage of enhanced interface and choose which content is published via a check box on forum posts and reviews.
"Other Threads" module added to right hand column in thread view: when viewing a thread, a new module appears in the right column displaying "Other Threads" which have been written in the same sub-forum.
Customization of Own It, Want It, and Had It terminology on a per category basis: product categories can now have customizable Own It/Want It/Had It labels; for example, on EpicSki.com, you can "Want To Go" to a ski resort or indicate that you've "Been There".
FCK Editor bug in forums fixed: with this edge case bug, occasionally when engaging a thread page prior to a full load, the FCK Editor would jump to the top left hand corner. This issue has been resolved.
Page jumping issue on thread pages in IE6 and 7 fixed: with this edge case bug, when a user had engaged the cursor in the quick reply box and used the browser scroll bar, the page would occasionally jump to the former position. This issue has been resolved.

Moderator-Facing

Enhanced Flagged Content report: moderators will now be able to "close" an issue after it has been reported; when the issue was closed and who closed it will be tracked. Any issue can be reopened at any time. Moderators also can filter Flagged Content to view only open issues.
Review deletion available: moderators now have the ability to delete reviews from product pages.
Timestamps on forum post edits no longer appearing for moderators: moderator edits on any forum posts will no longer be documented with visible timestamps.
