It seems pretty much the same to me. Just a few extra actions; a few of which I must say seem rather redundant. However the whole interface seems a lot nicer. I like the auto-updater too
maybe but i like alot of things that toms does for ipb, like made in quiz what gets you points for winning it, and scratch cards. plus you can have a set number of stock for items meaning there might only be like 5 username edits a month for people to buy what gives people a more of a aim to post more so they can get in and buy it before the stock runs out.
