Reading through various threads, I have seen people mention a handful of different features that are part of ResetEra's forum software which I had no idea about. I thought I would put together a list to spread the word to other Resettlers so they can enjoy these awesome features as well.
Post any cool feature you have found and I will add it to the list!

Forum Features
- Post Quote/Reply notifications: There is now an alerts "tab" in the upper right, which looks like a globe. It will notify you of different things that happen including replies to a watched thread, quotes of your posts and mentions in posts (more on that below).
- Post Mentions: You can mention any other member on the board by using @ and starting to type a users name (much like Twitter mentions). They will receive a notification of the mention in their alerts.
- Post Reply: By simply hitting "reply" on a post, the post you are replying to is automatically quoted. You can multiquote by hitting the "+quote" button on a post and hitting "more options" in the quick reply box when you are ready to make your post. At the bottom of the full reply page, hit "insert quotes" and a list of the posts you have added to multiquote will appear, allowing you to include or delete the quotes from your post.
- Highlight Reply: If you highlight a portion of a post and mouse over the highlighted text, you can reply with just the highlighted portion of a post or add it to multiquote.
- Spoiler Tags With Descriptions:
- Threaded PM's With Multiple Recipients:
- Other PM Features:
- Unread Posts:
- Double Click To Edit: Edit your post simply by double clicking inside the post body
- Better Ban Explanation on Users Profile: (unconfirmed?)
- Cloud Backups for Page Timeouts?
- Thread Page Navigation:
- Hidden Text, Only Viewable By Members ("email tag" for sharing codes only accessible by members)
- Automatically Add Thread to Watched: (this option must be turned on in the "alert preferences")
- Keyboard Shortcuts in Editor: You can use keyboard shortcuts in the post editor for thing like Bold (ctrl-B) Itallics (ctrl-I) and Underline (ctrl-U)
- Sort Forum By Thread Creation Date: (to view new threads newest to oldest)
With this spiffy new forum software, you're able to sort the topics by creation date. Meaning, after you come home from work or wherever, just click on "Start Date" and it will sort everything by topic creation date. Super easy to catch up on the day's news stories that way.
- Follow Other Members: If you click someone's user name, you can choose to follow them. It appears like it just adds them to a list of people you follow? (Let me know if you figure out other things it does!)
