Forum updates

13 Jun

We’ve just deployed an update to the forums that adds tabbed filtering by thread type and a new ‘photo post’ option, designed for users wanting to share images. We’ve also added filtering by product (to the product forums) and a swanky new ‘grid view’ for browsing forums by images (rather than thread titles). Finally we’ve fine-tuned the ‘classic’ skin and deployed some fixes and enhancements to the text editor.
