Dpreview planning Forums update and upgrade

Websites too save some of their news for the Photokina season! Dpreview has just announced upcoming updates to their forums, with a code rewrite and changes/improvements to the user interface and flow of things. The changes haven't gone live yet, but dpreview has provided examples and screenshots of the new design. This is probably the biggest redesign of the dpreview forums in recent memory.

The new changes are vigorously discussed in the comments section of the announcement post, with nearly 600 comments so far.

New features include Q&A threads (hopefully these will prove more useful than Yahoo Answers and Ask.com and such), voting on posts and threads, user rankings, search bars, and lots more!
