The above...AND the fact that you don't have to stick with one username for life!

The additional smileys are nice..although it would be even better if we could have one for Sprite too (*hint*)  ;D

Seriously, awesome work jannah!!!

Assalamu Alaikum,
                 I especially like the fast registration process.
The old board took forever to add new members.

Wassalam

I like ...

- the login option in the first page of the mesg board

- the option of moving from one section to another without having to go back to the main page

- option of reading the last 10 post.

- the new soothing looookk

and many more..

Great work Jannah. May Allah reward you for all the hardwork. Ameen.

Hmm ... what did I like?  Too many things to list!

Right now, I'm loving the "next topic" link at the end of each thread.  That way I don't have to go back to the main forum every time and then click the next topic.  I can go from one topic to another without having to go back to the main page.  Awesome.

The preview option, especially on the Madina Messaging is nice!  

The search seems a *lot* better.

I always wanted an option to [size=4]enlarge[/size] the font size on the previous board.   :-X

And of course, the "last edited" line that appears at the end of each post when a person modifies their post  :P

Finally, the colors finally seem to be growing on me!   :o  Amazing!

Masha'allah Jannah for the wonderful job on the new Madina:)  I love so many of the new features ;D

Some of my favorites
              :-*The colors
              :-*The easy input smilies
              :-*Being able to mark all threads as read (for those times I cannot read the messages for a long time :(
              :-*Very easy to move around
              :-*Seems much faster than the old board and even when you first "opened" the new board
I think overall it is fantastic :-)

COOL FEATURE

Here is a very cool features many ppl might not know about.  

If you go to your madina messages, at the top you'll see "Preferences"  Click on that and you can put ppl you don't want messaging you there (although inshallah you don't have to do that here!).

Then below that there is an option to "Notify by Email".  This means that if someone sends you a Madina Message it will be sent to you by email as well!! How cool is that...

Assalamu Alaikum,

Congratulations with the new message board.  it's mostly better but I'd like to say something:

-I didn't like it too much in the old board either, but I think there are just too many sections in the Madinah... I know it makes the place look cool and comprehensive but I don't think there is much justification.

Stuff in the Shahadah bookstore could be posted relevantly in either the TaqwaMAL or BebziS.

Al-manarL should be with the NaseehaC.

I can't really say anything regarding JJO since I'm not a student in the US... but if new thread rates at the old board are anything to go by then maybe it shouldn't exist either ie. combined with the minaret, ikhwan, akhwat and naseeha areas.

The reasoning behind these combinations would be that I would save time in trying to find new interesting threads to read ... For example to learn new stuff I would go to the TaqwaMAL... not the SB ... but there maybe a poem or something there that would benefit me... had it been in the TMALI would have read it and benefitted.  The alternative would be to go around every section which I do not have time for and maybe will find articles which are irrelevant to me.  

Now you might say that compartmentalization will help people better since they won't have to see stuff they don't want to eg. i won't have to read threads regarding poettry if i dont like poetry (which is generally true).

That's fine.  But I personally think there won't be significant congestion of the areas if there is less cluttering on the main board.  I can't think of a proper argument coz I'm hungry, sleepy and am on the verge of having a headache.  Same goes for if I made no sense above!

Ultimately this is a minor gripe and the board's technicalities have actually improved greatly I think.

P.S. I like the "atest member is" feature so that I can see how weird some people's usernames are!! *smile*.

Wassalamu Alaikum,
Uzer
