Ok, I just noticed (very belatedly) that this post is in "new forum software". Does that imply that these changes aren't being suggested for the smf forum that we're currently using but for the proverbial new software that was going to be installed here two years ago?

On top of that a beta is being evaluated with the staff at this point so please sit tight.
Last one indicates a beta is being tested.
