As I come across them I will post them here...
1) You can now view PM's as a conversation, and not just inbox and outbox. Just click on "my messages" link on the menu, and then choose "Preferences" and then change "Display personal messages" to "as a conversation"
2) Click the up arrow in the top right corner to hide/show the welcome area.
3) Be sure to go in your profile and add your home lake and zip code back. You can now search for members by their "home lake" if you click on the members tab, and then "search for members". Might help if your traveling to a new lake and need help! You will also be able to search on any custom profile field I may add at a later date.
