- Jump to New Posts link - Located at the top of each topic - when clicked, it takes users to the posts in that topic that were made after their last visit to the board. Also known as the "blue arrow".
- "Topic moved" icon - indicates if a topic was moved rather than closed.
- "Report Post" link - allows users to mail the forum moderator and board administrator about a post he or she feels is inappropriate.
- Mail topic starter on move - Administrators and Moderators now have the option of mailing the topic starter when his or her topic is moved
