The 'ignore this user' link has been moved. Instead of appearing on every message, it's now on the user's profile page. Just click their user name and you can get to that.
Agree with the general opinions that these are grreat improvements to the forum software.
A request: would it be possible to change the default values on the search page? Typically, I'll search the Vegas video forum, have 50 hits on the page, and so on. It would be nice if those values could be selected and stayed the same from session to session.
