Site announcements and information discussion

Hi everyone, here are a few minor updates and treats for you.

First off, the snow effect is gone since it was causing our computers to overheat;) So let’s move forward!

• Tagging a user with the @ symbol now shows their avatar as well, for example @Administrator.

• The Profile Cover has been tweaked; it will no longer appear if you haven’t selected an image.

• Notifications and inbox counts update almost instantly. You’ll get alerts right away. There’s also a new setting in your preferences to choose whether the total count appears in your browser tab.

• Now you can see who is currently watching a thread, as well as everyone WHO HAS viewed it, both located at the bottom of each discussion.

• A clear button for starting a personal message (PM) with another member has been added. It sits under their avatar within posts, on their profile card (just click their avatar), or while viewing their full profile.

• You’ll get notified whenever someone you follow updates their status.

• The likes you’ve given are now viewable too. Just click your username in the top-right corner to find this new menu option.

• Your post count and other details now appear beneath your avatar inside posts as well. That’s all for today. Thanks, everyone.

Great bunch of updates! Cheers for being so awesome, @Administrator!

And as well as being awesome he's also a really nice guy.
